Hi! GCC used to emit an instance of an empty ios_base::Init class in every TU which included <iostream> to ensure it is std::cout etc. is initialized, but thanks to Patrick work on some targets (which have init_priority attribute support) it is now initialized only inside of libstdc++.so.6/libstdc++.a.
This causes a problem if people do something that has never been supported, try to run GCC 13 compiled C++ code against GCC 12 or earlier libstdc++.so.6 - std::cout etc. are then never initialized because code including <iostream> expects the library to initialize it and the library expects code including <iostream> to do that. The following patch is second attempt to make this work cheaply as the earlier attempt of aliasing the std::cout etc. symbols with another symbol version didn't work out due to copy relocation breaking the aliases appart. The patch forces just a _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv undefined symbol into all *.o files which include <iostream> and while there is no runtime relocation against that, it seems to enforce the right version of libstdc++.so.6. /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj08i/usr/local/ is the install directory of trunk patched with this patch, /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj06/ is builddir of trunk without this patch, system g++ is GCC 12.1.1. $ cat /tmp/hw.C #include <iostream> int main () { std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl; } $ cd /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj08i/usr/local/bin $ ./g++ -o /tmp/hw /tmp/hw.C $ readelf -Wa /tmp/hw 2>/dev/null | grep initv 4: 0000000000000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv@GLIBCXX_3.4.32 (4) 71: 0000000000000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv@GLIBCXX_3.4.32 $ /tmp/hw /tmp/hw: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by /tmp/hw) $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jakub/src/gcc/obj08i/usr/local/lib64/ /tmp/hw Hello, world! $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jakub/src/gcc/obj06/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/ /tmp/hw /tmp/hw: /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj06/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by /tmp/hw) $ g++ -o /tmp/hw /tmp/hw.C $ /tmp/hw Hello, world! $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jakub/src/gcc/obj06/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/ /tmp/hw Hello, world! $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jakub/src/gcc/obj08i/usr/local/lib64/ /tmp/hw Hello, world! Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, i686-linux and sparc-sun-solaris2.11 On the last one I've actually checked a version which had defined(_GLIBCXX_SYMVER_SUN) next to defined(_GLIBCXX_SYMVER_GNU), but init_priority attribute doesn't seem to be supported there and so I couldn't actually test how this works there. Using gas and Sun ld, Rainer, does one need to use gas + gld for init_priority or something else? Ok for trunk and after a while for GCC 13.2? 2023-04-28 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR libstdc++/108969 * config/abi/pre/gnu.ver (GLIBCXX_3.4.32): Export _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv. * testsuite/util/testsuite_abi.cc (check_version): Add GLIBCXX_3.4.32 symver and make it the latestp. * src/c++98/ios_init.cc (ios_base_library_init): New alias. * acinclude.m4 (libtool_VERSION): Change to 6:32:0. * include/std/iostream: If init_priority attribute is supported and _GLIBCXX_SYMVER_GNU, force undefined _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv symbol into the object. * configure: Regenerated. --- libstdc++-v3/config/abi/pre/gnu.ver.jj 2023-04-20 09:36:09.415371050 +0200 +++ libstdc++-v3/config/abi/pre/gnu.ver 2023-04-27 17:58:44.599675359 +0200 @@ -2514,6 +2514,10 @@ GLIBCXX_3.4.31 { } GLIBCXX_3.4.30; +GLIBCXX_3.4.32 { + _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv; +} GLIBCXX_3.4.31; + # Symbols in the support library (libsupc++) have their own tag.
