What e.g. property-4 checks is that an object with baseline+v2 and an object with v2+v4 correctly combine to baseline+v2+v4. Them combining to baseline+v2+v3+v4 is something that should fail the test. And yes, such a test very likely should not involved system supplied objects and as a result likely shouldn't use the C compiler to drive the linking. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
