Bug ID: 67688
Summary: [MinGW/Cygwin] Attributes selectany and section cannot
be used together
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: thiago at kde dot org
Target Milestone: ---
The following program:
__declspec(selectany) __attribute__((section("foo"))) int i = 0;
Fails to compile with:
error: i causes a section type conflict
The same program compiles with clang -target i386-mingw -fms-compatibility and
produces the assembly:
.section foo,"dw",discard,_i
.globl _i # @i
.align 4
_i:
.long 0 # 0x0
The similar program:
#pragma data_seg("foo")
__declspec(selectany) __declspec(allocate("foo")) int i = 0;
compiles without error with MSVC and produces assembly:
PUBLIC i
; COMDAT i
foo SEGMENT
i DD 00H
foo ENDS
