RE: r314262 - Emit section information for extern variables.
Elizabeth pointed out to me separately that the “isDeclarationADefinition” check ought to have prevented this from happening, so she’s taking a look I believe. The usage proposal I mentioned below might be handy as well. My fear is that this is a case where the existing functionality in Chromium works ‘by chance’ and isn’t terribly guaranteed by the code generation of either compiler. IF this is the case, it could be a situation where this warning has found a bug. As I’m not convinced that this is actually a clang bug, I would like to give Elizabeth a chance to poke around and make that determination first before a revert, if that is acceptable to you. -Erich From: tha...@google.com [mailto:tha...@google.com] On Behalf Of Nico Weber Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 1:29 PM To: Keane, Erich Cc: Andrews, Elizabeth ; Friedman, Eli ; cfe-commits Subject: Re: r314262 - Emit section information for extern variables.

Re: r314262 - Emit section information for extern variables.
Hi Erich, this breaks existing code. NaCl does this: #include struct r_debug _r_debug __attribute__((nocommon, section(".r_debug"))); (There's a lengthy-ish comment for why in https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/native_client/src/trusted/service_runtime/linux/nacl_bootstrap.c?q=nacl_bootstrap.c&sq=package:chromium&dr&l=424 ) link.h in e.g. the debian jessie sysroot says: extern struct r_debug _r_debug; After this change, clang complains: ../../native_client/src/trusted/service_runtime/linux/nacl_bootstrap.c:434:16: error: section attribute is specified on redeclared variable [-Werror,-Wsection] struct r_debug _r_debug __attribute__((nocommon, section(".r_debug"))); ^ ../../build/linux/debian_jessie_amd64-sysroot/usr/include/link.h:67:23: note: previous declaration is here extern struct r_debug _r_debug; This code used to work in clang, and continues to work in gcc. So this patch probably isn't quite the right approach. Ideas?

r314262 - Emit section information for extern variables.
Author: erichkeane Date: Tue Sep 26 16:42:34 2017 New Revision: 314262 URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=314262&view=rev Log: Emit section information for extern variables. Currently, if _attribute_((section())) is used for extern variables, section information is not emitted in generated IR when the variables are used. This is expected since sections are not generated for external linkage objects. However NiosII requires this information as it uses special GP-relative accesses for any objects that use attribute section (.sdata). GCC keeps this attribute in middle-end. This change emits the section information for all targets.
