Subject: --as-needed handling of shared libraries that fail -Wl,-z,defs
Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 16:43:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050519163716.GD22344@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz> (raw)

Hi!

--as-needed doesn't seem to try satisfy undefined references in shared
libraries:

ldd -d -r /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4
undefined symbol: BC    (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: PC    (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: UP    (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tgetnum       (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tgoto (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tgetflag      (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tputs (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tgetent       (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
undefined symbol: tgetstr       (/usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003a33900000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555555000)
echo 'int main (void) { return 0; }' | gcc -xc - -o test -lreadline -Wl,--as-needed -ltermcap -Wl,--no-as-needed; ./test
./test: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.4: undefined symbol: BC

Is this desirable or should we change --as-needed to attempt to satisfy even
those?  Particularly for -lreadline, it makes sense to not depend on
libtermcap resp. libncurses, as those symbols can be provided by either
of those libraries and some applications prefer one over the other and vice
versa.
