[Bug c++/29289] New: [4.1/4.2] additionally weak symbols referenced/generated

[doko at ubuntu dot com]

seen on various linux architectures, building apt results in a library with
several additional weak symbols defined. trying to build and link a program
(built with the changed compiler version) to the apt library built with the
older compiler version results in a link failure, shown below. rebuilding the
library with the changed compiler lets the application link again.

- on the 4.1 branch, the additional symbols seem to be the result
  of a part of the r116763 checkin; reverting the changes for PR26195
  restores the old behaviour.
- not yet searched on mainline; the change is between 20060815 and
  20060923.

is this a bug in apt's use in #pragma interface?

------- Comment #2 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-09-29 17:59 -------
This seems more like an ABI issue in older 4.1's and 4.2's rather than a bug in
the newer 4.1.2 and 4.2.0.

I bet we had an accidental ABI change in 4.0.0 and we have no fixed that.
I am thinking we should close this as a non bug.

"#pragma interface" should be killed really, all it does is bring trouble.

As suggested.  Please re-open only with a proper testcase.
