Binutils with MCST patches
6173d6a696
Consider the following test-case:
...
$ cat 1.c
typedef int (*final_t) (int arg);
int final (int arg)
{ return arg + 1; }
final_t gnu_ifunc (void)
{ return final; }
int gnu_ifunc_alias (int) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("gnu_ifunc")));
int main (void)
{ return gnu_ifunc_alias (10); }
...
with result:
...
$ gcc 1.c
$ ./a.out; echo $?
11
...
The test-case uses the ifunc attribute, but there's another solution using
%gnu_indirect_function. Consider 2.c and 3.c:
...
$ cat 2.c
typedef int (*final_t) (int arg);
int final (int arg)
{ return arg + 1; }
asm (".type gnu_ifunc, %gnu_indirect_function");
final_t gnu_ifunc (void)
{ return final; }
$ cat 3.c
extern int gnu_ifunc (int);
int main (void)
{ return gnu_ifunc (10); }
...
However, it can be inconvenient to have seperate files for the incompatible
decls of gnu_ifunc, so we can use this in a single file like this:
...
$ cat 4.c
typedef int (*final_t) (int arg);
int final (int arg)
{ return arg + 1; }
asm (".type gnu_ifunc, %gnu_indirect_function");
final_t gnu_ifunc (void)
{ return final; }
extern int gnu_ifunc_alias (int arg) __attribute__ ((alias ("gnu_ifunc")));
int main (void)
{ return gnu_ifunc_alias (10); }
...
This alias trick works ok at -O0, but not at -O2:
...
$ gcc 4.c
$ ./a.out; echo $?
11
$ gcc 4.c
$ ./a.out; echo $?
176
...
and produces a warning with gcc-8 and later:
...
$ gcc-8 4.c
4.c:7:12: warning: 'gnu_ifunc_alias' alias between functions of incompatible \
types 'int(int)' and 'int (*(void))(int)' [-Wattribute-alias]
extern int gnu_ifunc_alias (int arg) __attribute__ ((alias ("gnu_ifunc")));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4.c:5:9: note: aliased declaration here
final_t gnu_ifunc (void)
^~~~~~~~~
...
The warning is correct, but the mismatch is intentional.
The last variant (%gnu_indirect_function + alias) is used in
gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.c, so we run into the warning with recent gcc.
Fix the warning by compiling with -Wno-attribute-alias.
Tested the test-case on x86_64-linux with gcc-10, and observed I no longer see
the warning:

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
