            Bug ID: 66826
           Summary: Unused dlsym return results in segfault
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: quae at daurnimator dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Having a weird issue here: if I dlsym() something in a constructor, but don't
use the result; the shared library segfaults at load.

bug-main.c:

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <dlfcn.h>

    int main() {
        void *foo = dlopen("./shared.so", RTLD_NOW);
        void (*some_exported_function)() = dlsym(foo,
"some_exported_function");
        some_exported_function();
        return 0;
    }

bug-shared.c:

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <dlfcn.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    static int (*pointer) ();
    static int stub () { return 0; }
    __attribute__((constructor)) static void some_init() {
        if ((pointer = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "anything")) == NULL) {
            pointer = stub;
        }
    }

    void some_exported_function() {
        printf("in some_exported_function\n");
        printf("%p\n", pointer);
    }


Compile with:

    gcc -shared -O2 -fPIC bug-shared.c -ldl -o shared.so
    gcc -O2 -fPIC bug-main.c -ldl


Now comment out the `printf` of the pointer in bug-shared.c; and it'll get a
segfault.

$ gcc -dumpversion
5.1.0

Works fine with -O0
Works fine with clang
