Correct .startof.SECNAME/.sizeof.SECNAME tests for MIPS/IRIX targets,
complementing commit dc74becf49 ("ld: Add tests for -Ur") and commit
da614360f5 ("ld: Add tests for .startof.SECNAME/.sizeof.SECNAME") with
subsequent updates, and in reference to commit cbd0eecf26 ("Always
define referenced __start_SECNAME/__stop_SECNAME") and commit
7dba9362c1 ("Rewrite __start and __stop symbol handling").
These targets set the STT_OBJECT type for non-function symbol
references, according to `elf_frob_symbol' code in gas/config/obj-elf.c:
/* The Irix 5 and 6 assemblers set the type of any common symbol and
any undefined non-function symbol to STT_OBJECT. We try to be
compatible, since newer Irix 5 and 6 linkers care. However, we
only set undefined symbols to be STT_OBJECT if we are on Irix,
because that is the only time gcc will generate the necessary
.global directives to mark functions. */
if (S_IS_COMMON (symp))
symbol_get_bfdsym (symp)->flags |= BSF_OBJECT;
if (strstr (TARGET_OS, "irix") != NULL
&& ! S_IS_DEFINED (symp)
&& (symbol_get_bfdsym (symp)->flags & BSF_FUNCTION) == 0)
symbol_get_bfdsym (symp)->flags |= BSF_OBJECT;
and consequently entries in the symbol table listing from `readelf'
produced with these tests do not match the NOTYPE pattern expected,
causing test suite failures:
FAIL: ld-elf/sizeofa
FAIL: ld-elf/sizeofc
FAIL: ld-elf/startofa
FAIL: ld-elf/startofc
specifically with the `mips-sgi-irix5' and `mips-sgi-irix6' targets.
Given that it does not matter for the feature covered by these tests
whether the type of the symbols produced is STT_NOTYPE or STT_OBJECT
adjust the problematic cases to accept either type, removing the
failures observed.
ld/
* testsuite/ld-elf/sizeofa.d: Also accept the OBJECT type for
the symbols examined.
* testsuite/ld-elf/sizeofc.d: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-elf/startofa.d: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-elf/startofc.d: Likewise.
__start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME shouldn't be defined for "ld -r".
* ldlang.c (lang_set_startof): Skip if config.build_constructors
is FALSE.
* testsuite/ld-elf/sizeofc.d: New file.
* testsuite/ld-elf/startofc.d: Likewise.
