Subject: [Bug gcov-profile/97507] New: Move __gcov_exit from per-object .fini_array.00100 to libgcov
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2020 19:48:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-97507-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 97507
           Summary: Move __gcov_exit from per-object .fini_array.00100 to
                    libgcov
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: gcov-profile
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: i at maskray dot me
                CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Per object file .fini_array.00100 wastes space. __gcov_exit can be called in
libgcov. It can be registered via atexit (if first run) in __gcov_init.

The Linux kernel does not call destructors and currently discards .fini_array
and .fini_array.*  `gcc -fprofile-arcs` is currently one reason that
.fini_array needs to be discarded (another reason is kasan. I don't know other
reasons)
