           Summary: lto throws out needed symbols when linking QtScript
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: lto
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: bero@arklinux.org


Trying to build Qt with -flto (after working around bug 48042) results in

$ g++ [...] -flto=8 [...] -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
-Wl,-soname,libQtScript.so.4 -o libQtScript.so.4.7.2 obj/release/pcre_compile.o
[...] obj/release/JITStubs.o [...]
/tmp/ccKsaUWN.ltrans0.ltrans.o: In function `ctiVMThrowTrampoline':
ccKsaUWN.ltrans0.o:(.text+0x4c): undefined reference to `cti_vm_throw'

cti_vm_throw is defined in JITStubs.cpp and exists in obj/release/JITStubs.o
(as passed to the compiler).

$ nm obj/release/JITStubs.o |grep cti_vm_throw
0000000000006ad0 T cti_vm_throw
$ objdump -s obj/release/JITStubs.o
[...]

This is probably caused by the fact that ctiVMThrowTrampoline (the user of
cti_vm_throw) uses cti_vm_throw through an asm statement:

#define HIDE_SYMBOL(name) ".hidden " #name
#define SYMBOL_STRING(name) #name
#define SYMBOL_STRING_RELOCATION(name) #name "@plt"
asm volatile (
".globl " SYMBOL_STRING(ctiVMThrowTrampoline) "\n"
HIDE_SYMBOL(ctiVMThrowTrampoline) "\n"
SYMBOL_STRING(ctiVMThrowTrampoline) ":" "\n"
    "movq %rsp, %rdi" "\n"
    "call " SYMBOL_STRING_RELOCATION(cti_vm_throw) "\n"
    "addq $0x48, %rsp" "\n"
    "popq %rbx" "\n"
    "popq %r15" "\n"
    "popq %r14" "\n"
    "popq %r13" "\n"
    "popq %r12" "\n"
    "popq %rbp" "\n"
    "ret" "\n"
);
