Bug ID: 17287
Summary: --as-needed unresolved symbols with dummy shared
library in command line
Product: binutils
Version: 2.25 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: amodra at gmail dot com
Documented --as-needed behaviour says one condition a library is needed is
"..if the library is not found in the DT_NEEDED lists of other libraries, a
non-weak undefined symbol reference from another dynamic library." I think the
documentation should say "..DT_NEEDED lists of other *needed* libraries".
Otherwise we have the following odd behaviour.
cat > foo.c <<\EOF
void foo() {}
EOF
cat > bar.c <<\EOF
extern void foo();
void bar() { foo (); }
EOF
echo -n > dummy.c
cat > app.c <<\EOF
extern void bar();
int main() { bar(); return 0; }
EOF
gcc -fPIC -shared -o libfoo.so foo.c
gcc -fPIC -shared -o libbar.so bar.c
