Hi! John reported that on HP-UX we no longer emit needed external libcalls.
The problem is that we didn't strip name encoding when looking up the identifiers in assemble_external_libcall and process_pending_assemble_externals, while assemble_name_resolve does that: const char *real_name = targetm.strip_name_encoding (name); tree id = maybe_get_identifier (real_name); if (id) { ... mark_referenced (id); The intention is that assemble_external_libcall ensures the IDENTIFIER exists for the external libcall, then for actually emitted calls assemble_name_resolve sees those IDENTIFIERS and sets TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED on them and finally process_pending_assemble_externals looks the IDENTIFIER up again and checks its TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED. But without the strip_name_encoding call, they can look up different identifiers and those are likely never used. In the PR, John was discussing whether get_identifier or maybe_get_identifier should be used, I believe in assemble_external_libcall we definitely want to use get_identifier, we need an IDENTIFIER allocated so that it can be actually tracked, in process_pending_assemble_externals it doesn't matter, the IDENTIFIER should be already created. Fixed thusly, bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2024-01-12 John David Anglin <dang...@gcc.gnu.org> Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR middle-end/113182 * varasm.cc (process_pending_assemble_externals, assemble_external_libcall): Use targetm.strip_name_encoding before calling get_identifier. --- gcc/varasm.cc.jj 2024-01-08 21:56:04.968516120 +0100 +++ gcc/varasm.cc 2024-01-11 18:44:19.171399167 +0100 @@ -2543,7 +2543,8 @@ process_pending_assemble_externals (void for (rtx list = pending_libcall_symbols; list; list = XEXP (list, 1)) { rtx symbol = XEXP (list, 0); - tree id = get_identifier (XSTR (symbol, 0)); + const char *name = targetm.strip_name_encoding (XSTR (symbol, 0)); + tree id = get_identifier (name); if (TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED (id)) targetm.asm_out.external_libcall (symbol); } @@ -2631,7 +2632,8 @@ assemble_external_libcall (rtx fun) reference to it will mark its tree node as referenced, via assemble_name_resolve.
