           Summary: gcc -pipe -ox.o -c x.c  writes erroneous x.o on compile
                    error
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: deweese at ict dot usc dot edu
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: i386-pc-linux-gnu
  GCC host triplet: i386-pc-linux-gnu
GCC target triplet: i386-pc-linux-gnu

GCC incorrectly generates an output .o file even if there is a compiler
error under the following conditions:
    -pipe is enabled, -c is enabled, and -o<objname>.o is specified.

The output object file is slightly different than an object file generated
from a C file without a minor compiler error, for example if the word ERROR
is added arbitrarily to the C file. Under these error conditions,
some symbols go missing from the output object file.

I have verified that the error occurs on gcc 2.95, 3.0.4, 3.2.3, and 3.3.1.

>How-To-Repeat:

Create a file "foo.c" with the following content, sans angle brackets:
>>>>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  ERROR
  printf("Hello World.\n");
  return 0;
}
<<<<

Execute the following command with any version of gcc:
gcc -pipe -ofoo.o -c foo.c

The output is as follows:
foo.c: In function main':
foo.c:4: error: ERROR' undeclared (first use in this function)
foo.c:4: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
foo.c:4: error: for each function it appears in.)
foo.c:4: error: syntax error before "printf"

However, foo.o is written out. Subsequently, linking it causes an error:

gcc test.o

The output is:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.3.1/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function
_start':
: undefined reference to main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
