Subject: Use resolution info to get rid of weak symbols
Date: Sun, 18 May 2014 19:38:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140518193834.GF1828@kam.mff.cuni.cz> (raw)
Hi,
this patch makes GCC to use resolution info to turn COMDAT and WEAK
symbols into regular symbols based on feedback given by linker plugin.
If resolution says that given symbol is prevailing, it is possible
to turn them into normal symbols, while when resolution says it
is prevailed, it is possible to turn them into external symbols.
Doing so makes rest of the backend to work smoother on them.
We previously did this transformation partly for functions, this patch
just makes it to happen for variables too and implements the second
part (turning the symbol into external definition).
Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux and tested with libreoffice
build. Will commit it shortly.
* ipa.c (update_visibility_by_resolution_info): New function.
(function_and_variable_visibility): Use it.
