--- Comment #6 from anlauf at gcc dot gnu.org --- Steve, can you give an example for the procedure pointer case you mentioned? I played a bit, but the only valid code that I can think of did not produce a reference to sqrt in such a way that it needs to show up in the mod. Extended testcase that compiles and also uses a procedure pointer to sqrt(): ! { dg-do compile } !
