[Bug target/31490] New: Compile error section type conflict

[raj dot khem at gmail dot com]

The attached testcase does not compile for ppc64 using gcc confgured to
generate ppc/ppc64 code.

Attached is a reduced testcase from kernel. This error was not happening with
gcc 4.2 snapshot from January. I think it is related to static inline and
extern inline.

compile the attached testcase 

gcc -m64 -c test.c

test.c:51: error: __ksymtab_cpu_add_sysdev_attr_group causes a section type
conflict

Reduced testcase:
int cpu_ (void *attr) {}
const unsigned long _1 __attribute__((section("__"))) =  (unsigned long)&cpu_ ;
const unsigned long _group __attribute__((section("__"))) = 0;

My reduced testcase shows it happens even in 4.0.2.  I don't have any thing
older than that right off hand.

Oh and this is why it fails without -fpic on powerpc64-linux-gnu as really it
is always PIC with the toc based ABI.

>workaround for the bug:
Actually that looks like the correct fix from reading output.h's comment about
these section categories.

------- Comment #8 from segher at kernel dot crashing dot org  2007-05-15 13:07 -------
Bisecting shows that the original bug (powerpc64 Linux build
errors out) is caused by r122781.  I didn't actually test on 4.2
but the same patch is applied there (as r122782).

If the reduced testcase in comment #2 fails on older compilers,
it is likely a different bug (or an invalid testcase); if a bug, please
file a separate PR for it.

[janis at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #12 from janis at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-08-27 21:54 -------
Trunk currently fails on powerpc64-linux building
libstdc++-v3/src/system_error.cc.  Hacking libtool a bit allows seeing the
message "std::system_category causes a section type conflict".  The file is
compiled with -O2 and -fdata-sections; if either of those is removed then the
bootstrap succeeds.

This PR looked related (and Andrew Pinski confirmed that it is) so I tried the
patch from comment #10; it needs more parens to avoid warnings, but with that
patch the bootstrap succeeds.

The patch that I tried is the one attached for comment #10, not the one in
comment #9.  With that patch a bootstrap of all languages but Ada succeeded. 
The test results look reasonable, although I don't have results from the last
few days with which to compare them.

Has Segher's patch been sent to gcc-patches?  I've just encountered the ppc64
bootstrap failure too.

Is there any reason none of the patches created for this bug have been checked
in?  I still get a 'section type conflict' on IA64 with the test case from
Comment #2.
