--- Comment #12 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> --- (In reply to Jakub Jelinek from comment #11) > If you hit the assumption beyond what ABI mandates on some public symbol > issue in some older GCC version, then sure, if you have that public symbol > defined by ICC, it will misbehave. But, if it is compiled with current GCC > without your proposed changes, it will work fine, newer GCCs don't assume > anything beyond ABI mandates alignments, unless they control the definition > and uses bind locally to it, but still align as optimization as much or more > as older GCC used to align. > With your proposed changes that would be no longer true. What is so hard to > understand on it? What is the maximum alignment the older GCCs may assume?
