Hello, Working on the reintroduction of shared libraries support (and of modules depending on shared libraries) exposed a few test failures of simple c++ constructor tests on arm-vxworks7r2. Investigation revealed that we were not linking the crtstuff objects as needed from a compiler configured not to have shared libs support, because of the ENABLE_SHARED_LIBGCC guard in this piece of vxworks.h: /* Setup the crtstuff begin/end we might need for dwarf EH registration and/or INITFINI_ARRAY support for shared libs. */ #if (HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY_SUPPORT && defined(ENABLE_SHARED_LIBGCC)) \ || (DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO && !defined(CONFIG_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS)) #define VX_CRTBEGIN_SPEC "%{!shared:vx_crtbegin.o%s;:vx_crtbeginS.o%s}" crtstuff initfini array support is meant to be leveraged for constructors regardless of whether the compiler also happens to be configured with shared library support, so the guard on ENABLE_SHARED_LIBGCC here is inappropriate. This change just removes it, which cured the test c++ contructor test failures we were observing and didn't produce adverse effect on the rest of our builds/runs (gcc-11 based toolchains for vxowkrs7r2 on a variety of architectures). Tested further with a gcc-12 build + basic test cycle on both arm and ppc64 vxworks7r2, as well as ppc vxworks 6.9. Will commit to mainline shortly. Cheers, Olivier 2022-09-30 Olivier Hainque gcc/ * config/vxworks.h (VX_CRTBEGIN_SPEC, VX_CRTEND_SPEC): If HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY_SUPPORT, pick crtstuff objects regardless of ENABLE_SHARED_LIBGCC.
