Subject: [PATCH] [libstdc++] introduce --disable-compat-libstdcxx-abi
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2024 00:36:33 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <or5xwidlmm.fsf@lxoliva.fsfla.org> (raw)


A number of libstdc++ tests that implicitly instantiate
__to_chars_i<unsigned int128_t> and also link floating_to_chars.o in
fail on vxworks kernel mode.  The platform doesn't support undefweak
symbols (the kernel module loader fails to load modules containing
them), and because creating such modules doesn't involve final
linking, only -r linking.  The vague-linkage weak defs with abi-v2
mangling that get discarded from floating_to_chars.o because the same
comdat section is present in the main executable.  But since the
alternate mangling is not defined in the main executable, the weak
definition decays to a weak undefined symbol in the partially-linked
kernel module, and then the kernel module loader barfs.

Since our vxworks toolchains have little use for the compat ABI
symbols, I thought we could work around this problem by getting rid of
them.  Absent a configure option to control that, I added one.

Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu.  Also tested with gcc-13 on arm-,
aarch64-, x86- and x86_64-vxworks7r2.  Ok to install?

PS: for an alternate path to avoid this problem, see also

for  libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog

	* acinclude.m4 (GLIBCXX_EXPORT_FLAGS): Split -Wabi=2...
	(GLIBCXX_ENABLE_WABI): ... here.  Control it with newly added
	--disable-compat-libstdcxx-abi.
	* configure: Rebuilt.
	* doc/html/manual/configure.html: Document it.
