It happens in assemble_name, via assemble_name_resolve. The system relies on code using that rather than assemble_name_raw for symbols that might need to be declared, or that might need visibility information attached. (It relies on that in general, I mean, not just for this patch.) Thanks, Richard

o_O
Ok I clearly misunderstood what you was proposing. This is way simpler!
How does the magic of TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED work? How is it set to
`true' only if the RTL containing the call is retained in the final
chain?

Is it really that much more convoluted? I was thinking of something
like the attached, which seems a bit shorter than V2, and does seem
to fix the bpf tests.
I think most (all?) libcalls already have an associated decl due to
optabs-libfuncs.cc, so an alternative to get_identifier would be to
set the SYMBOL_REF_DECL. Using get_identiifer seems a bit more
lightweight though.

There's a fair number of similarities. Essentially it has to "import" every external symbol, including libcall symbols. A symbol which has been exported, can not then also be imported as that can change the underlying type. IIRC we implemented all the magic to handle this inside ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL and ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL_LIBCALL with a bit of magic to handle "plabel" symbols which we have to defer until the end of the compilation unit via pa_end_file or whatever it's called since some cases of symbol marking couldn't be determined until we were actually emitting code. jeff

I'm not sure that shorten_branches is a natural place to do this.
It isn't something that would normally emit asm text.
Would it be OK to emit the declaration at the same point as for decls,
which IIUC is process_pending_assemble_externals? If so, how about
making assemble_external_libcall add the symbol to a list when
!SYMBOL_REF_USED, instead of calling targetm.asm_out.external_libcall
directly? assemble_external_libcall could then also call get_identifier
on the name (perhaps after calling strip_name_encoding -- can't
remember whether assemble_external_libcall sees the encoded or
unencoded name).
All being well, the call to get_identifier should cause
assemble_name_resolve to record when the name is used, via
TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED. Then process_pending_assemble_externals could
go through the list of libcalls recorded by assemble_external_libcall
and check whether TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED is set on the get_identifier.
Not super elegant, but it seems to fit within the existing scheme.
And I don't there should be any problem with using get_identifier
for libcalls, since it isn't valid to use libcall names for other
types of symbol.
Thanks,
Richard
