            Bug ID: 60797
           Summary: gcc hangs with error: only weak aliases are supported
                    in this configuration
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: junchao.zhang at gmail dot com

On my Mac OS X 10.9.2, when I use gcc to compile this program, test.c,

#include <stdio.h>

extern int foo __attribute__((alias("bar")));
int main()
{
    return 0;
}

gcc hangs with countless 
test.c:3:12: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration
test.c:3:12: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration
test.c:3:12: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration

--- Comment #1 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> ---
r206658 gives

pr60797.c:3:12: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration
 extern int foo __attribute__((alias("bar")));
            ^
pr60797.c:3:12: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration

while r206880 gives the "infinite" errors.

which basically endlessly loops because nothing sets TREE_ASM_WRITTEN on
the alias.

fixes it.  Probably also needed above for targets without any alias support.
I wonder why "weakref" errors just fall through and don't return though.

Testcase:

/* { dg-skip-if "" { alias } } */

extern int foo __attribute__((alias("bar"))); /* { dg-error "supported" } */
int main()

  return 0;
