Bug ID: 28917
Summary: ar: r does not replace objects specified multiple
times on the command line
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: vapier at gentoo dot org
Target Milestone: ---
testing current tree (216722984fec8aa76e2d97d7b8fcc2fb1608825b). seems to
reproduce across many diff targets & config options, so i don't think they're
related.
$ cd binutils
# Adding files one-at-a-time works correctly.
$ rm -f x.a
$ ./ar vrc x.a ar.o
a - ar.o
$ ./ar vrc x.a ar.o
r - ar.o
$ ./ar vrc x.a ar.o
r - ar.o
$ ./ar t x.a
ar.o
# Adding files many-at-a-time works incorrectly.
$ rm -f x.a
$ ./ar vrc x.a ar.o ar.o
a - ar.o
a - ar.o
$ ar t x.a
ar.o
ar.o
this came up because newlib uses archive-insertion-order to control overriding
of common objects (i.e. C files) with machine-specific objects (i.e. asm
files). it used to add objects one directory at a time, but i switched it to
add them all at once (with machine objects appearing last). now we have
duplicate objects in the archive.
