Jason, would you like to take a look at this patch before I commit it? If I turn on -fdebug-types-section, I get a random failure in g++.dg/pch/system-2.C. This failure is being caused by non-deterministic order of the type stubs emitted by optimize_external_refs, because it's using the address of the DIE as a hash for the extern_map hash table. This patch makes the output order deterministic by using either the die_symbol (as a string) or the type signature for the hash value.
Bootstrapped on x86_64 with no regressions. (I'm not planning to turn on -fdebug-types-section by default; I'm just trying to make sure the test suite is clean with it on so that I can turn it on in the google branches.) -cary 2013-04-24 Cary Coutant <ccout...@google.com> gcc/ * dwarf2out.c (hash_external_ref): Use die_symbol or signature for hash so that hash table traversal order is deterministic.
