Bug ID: 107630
Summary: runtime libs should be self-contained
Product: gcc
Version: 13.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: modula2
Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: ro at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Prompted by PR modula2/107629, I checked the runtime libs on Solaris and Linux,
and (not unexpectedly) found the same issue: with the exception of libm2min.so,
none of the gm2 runtime libs are self-contained, each containing tons of
undefined
references. This is considered bad style at least (cf. the libtool manual,
among others), and with a small (and intentional) exception in libgo.so, all
other gcc runtime libs are, as they should be.
It would be good if libgm2 would follow suite, making PR modula2/107629
vanish.
I've had a quick look myself, but things seem not so easy since some of the
unresolved symbols are defined in several of the other runtime libs, plus there
are references to completely difference libs (libm2pim -> libstdc++) or objects
(libm2pim -> gm2-gcc/init.o).
