[Bug c++/14607] New: [3.3 Regression] Duplicate symbol "vtable for node" in files div.o and env.o

[danglin at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following errors occured building groff-1.19 on the above target
with gcc version 3.3.4 20040306 (prerelease):

g++ -O2 -s -o troff dictionary.o div.o env.o glyphuni.o input.o majorminor.o nod

de.o

The problem doesn't occur with gcc 3.0.3.

I'm not sure of the the details as to when vtables should be emitted as
global objects.  The 3.3.4 assembler output has for example the following
code in div.o:

        .IMPORT _ZTV4node,DATA
	...
        .EXPORT _ZTV4node,DATA
        .align 8
_ZTV4node	
        .word   0
        .word   _ZTI4node
        .word   P%_ZN4nodeD1Ev
        .word   P%_ZN4nodeD0Ev
        .word   P%__cxa_pure_virtual
        .word   P%_ZN4node17set_unformat_flagEv
	...
_ZN4nodeD1Ev
        .PROC
        .CALLINFO FRAME=64,NO_CALLS
        .ENTRY
        addil LR'_ZTV4node-$global$,%r27
        ldo 64(%r30),%r30
        ldo RR'_ZTV4node-$global$+8(%r1),%r1
	...

The same code is duplicated in the assembler out put for env.cpp
and input.cpp.

The assembler output from 3.0.3 doesn't have or export the vtable for
node.  The table is only defined by input.o.

The hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 port doesn't support weak symbols.
In ports that support weak symbols, the vtables are weak avoiding
this problem.

I'm not sure of all the requirements for vtables.  For example, can
they be local to a translation unit and duplicated?
