--- Comment #10 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-01-10 20:56:23 UTC --- > What undesirable things may happen if we mark a COMDAT symbol > PREVAILING_DEF? Is that we won't know which one will be used > if both LTO and non-LTO objects define the same COMAT symbol? excatly, we don't know if something else in the same DSO is defining this COMDAT. Also the plugin specs explicitely say that plugin is required to provide this symbol in the output per the paragraph I quoted. Cary: the update seems fine to me. Any chance to get it implemented on plugin side? Adding support in GCC is easy (and we can even keep the current trick of not outputing some COMDATs in place until old linkers gets out of busyness)
