Subject: non-conformant ELF symbol table on MIPS?
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 16:27:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce321476-4575-ba44-acd7-37ac1331e235@suse.com> (raw)

Hello,

extending the gas elf/common3.s testcase (in the context of trying to fix
PR gas/30688) to

	.comm foobar,30,4
	.comm buf1, 5-1, 8
	.comm buf2, 4, 9-1
	.lcomm lbuf, 9-1

I notice a violation of the ELF spec on most (all?) MIPS targets I would
routinely test for common code changes: "lbuf" is emitted last in the
symbol table. The spec is quite clear: "In each symbol table, all
symbols with STB_LOCAL binding precede the weak and global symbols." I
guess I want/need to xfail that test for mips*-*-* for the time being,
but it would be nice if you could shed some light on this behavior.

Thanks, Jan
