The problem is that we didn't strip name encoding when looking up the identifiers in assemble_external_libcall and process_pending_assemble_externals, while assemble_name_resolve does that: const char *real_name = targetm.strip_name_encoding (name); tree id = maybe_get_identifier (real_name); if (id) { ... mark_referenced (id); The intention is that assemble_external_libcall ensures the IDENTIFIER exists for the external libcall, then for actually emitted calls assemble_name_resolve sees those IDENTIFIERS and sets TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED on them and finally process_pending_assemble_externals looks the IDENTIFIER up again and checks its TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED. But without the strip_name_encoding call, they can look up different identifiers and those are likely never used. In the PR, John was discussing whether get_identifier or maybe_get_identifier should be used, I believe in assemble_external_libcall we definitely want to use get_identifier, we need an IDENTIFIER allocated so that it can be actually tracked, in process_pending_assemble_externals it doesn't matter, the IDENTIFIER should be already created. 2024-01-12 John David Anglin <dang...@gcc.gnu.org> Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR middle-end/113182 * varasm.cc (process_pending_assemble_externals, assemble_external_libcall): Use targetm.strip_name_encoding before calling get_identifier.
