Hi, For current system toolchains NeXT runtime metadata symbols are not mangled for Objective-C++ (i.e. they are considered to be 'extern "C"').
This change becomes essential when we start to emit metadata refs as hidden and weak which is required by later editions of the runtime and linkers. tested across the Darwin range and on x86_64-linux pushed to master thanks Iain gcc/objc/ChangeLog: * objc-runtime-shared-support.c (start_var_decl): Make the decl_assembler_name follow the metadata name for C++ on NeXT runtime platforms. --- gcc/objc/objc-runtime-shared-support.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/objc/objc-runtime-shared-support.c b/gcc/objc/objc-runtime-shared-support.c index 4aecc7f339f..16d4d63c86f 100644 --- a/gcc/objc/objc-runtime-shared-support.c +++ b/gcc/objc/objc-runtime-shared-support.c @@ -117,14 +117,17 @@ add_field_decl (tree type, const char *name, tree **chain) tree start_var_decl (tree type, const char *name) { - tree var = build_decl (input_location, - VAR_DECL, get_identifier (name), type); - TREE_STATIC (var) = 1; + tree name_id = get_identifier (name); + tree var = build_decl (input_location, VAR_DECL, name_id, type); DECL_INITIAL (var) = error_mark_node; /* A real initializer is coming... */ + TREE_STATIC (var) = 1; DECL_IGNORED_P (var) = 1; DECL_ARTIFICIAL (var) = 1; DECL_CONTEXT (var) = NULL_TREE; #ifdef OBJCPLUS + /* Meta-data for the NeXT runtime is expected to be 'extern "C"'. */ + if (flag_next_runtime) + SET_DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME (var, name_id); DECL_THIS_STATIC (var) = 1; /* squash redeclaration errors */ #endif return var; -- 2.24.1
