While investigating why many libmudflap execution tests failed on
Solaris 11/x86 with Sun ld, but succeeded on Solaris 11/SPARC, I came
across the following:
The first failure is fail17-frag. With MUDFLAP_OPTIONS=-trace-calls, I see
mf: __mfwrap_strcpy
mf: check ptr=8050f8c b=995 size=10 read location=`(strcpy src)'
mf: violation pc=fee8894d location=(strcpy src) type=1 ptr=8050f8c size=10
*******
mudflap violation 1 (check/read): time=1310040104.249932 ptr=8050f8c size=10
pc=fee8894d location=`(strcpy src)'
The constant string isn't ever registered here, thus the failure.
With gld instead, I see no failure
mf: __mfwrap_strcpy
mf: check ptr=8048bac b=747 size=10 read location=`(strcpy src)'
and the string is registered very early:
mf: register ptr=0 size=1 type=0 name='NULL'
mf: register ptr=8048bac size=10 type=4 name='string literal'
This registration is from tree-mudflap.c (mudflap_enqueue_constant),
emitted at the end of mudflap_finish_file via
cgraph_build_static_cdtor ('I', ctor_statements,
MAX_RESERVED_INIT_PRIORITY-1);
With gld, the registration function _GLOBAL__sub_I_00099_0_main is
entered into a .ctors section, but with Sun ld I find separate .ctors
and .ctors.65436 sections. varasm.c (get_cdtor_priority_section), which
is called by default_named_section_asm_out_constructor, states:
/* ??? This only works reliably with the GNU linker. */
This is obviously true: Sun ld doesn't coalesce different .ctors.N
sections, thus the contructor isn't called.
On Solaris 11/SPARC instead, CTORS_SECTION_ASM_OP is defined in
sparc/sysv4.h, and thus default_ctor_section_asm_out_constructor is
called.
The obvious solution is to define [CD]TORS_SECTION_ASM_OP on Solaris/x86
with Sun ld, too. And indeed this fixes all remaining libmudflap
failures.
On the other hand, there's the question why tree-mudflap.c tries to
create a constructor with a non-default priority on a platform with
SUPPORTS_INIT_PRIORITY == 0 or at all: it seems that all is fine even
with init_priority ignored. Either mudflap_enqueue_constant should
check for this condition, or at least the middle-end should emit an
error or a warning in this case.
I've bootstrapped the following patch without regressions on
i386-pc-solaris2.11 (Sun as/ld) and i386-pc-solaris2.8 (GNU as/ld)
without regressions.
Installed on mainline.
