Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |amodra at gmail dot com --- Comment #6 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- No, this is not a gold bug on x86_64. ld.bfd may link without complaint, but the resulting shared library will crash, I think. There are calls to _ZN5QListI7QStringED1Ev which resolve to 0 (ie. the ELF header in the shared lib). This seems to be a fairly recent bug. On x86_64, 20141126 and 20141203 miscompile the unreduced testcase while 20141111 looks to be OK. You can easily see whether there is a problme by running nm *.o | grep _ZN5QListI7QStringED 0000000000000000 W _ZN5QListI7QStringED2Ev 0000000000000000 n _ZN5QListI7QStringED5Ev 0000000000000000 W _ZN5QListI7QStringED1Ev 0000000000000000 W _ZN5QListI7QStringED2Ev 0000000000000000 n _ZN5QListI7QStringED5Ev If as above you see only one copy of _ZN5QListI7QStringED1Ev, then only one of the two comdat groups define that symbol.
