            Bug ID: 60124
           Summary: g++ generates two copies of the same symbol due to
                    __builtin_bswap32 return type
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: mat at lcs dot mit.edu

template<typename T> T identity(T x) { return x; }

void fail()
{
    identity(0U);
    identity(__builtin_bswap32(0));
}

$ ~/gcc-4.8.2-install/bin/g++ -c ~/symbol_error.cpp -o ~/symbol_error.o
/tmp/ccojWORv.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccojWORv.s:44: Error: symbol `_Z8identityIjET_S0_' is already defined


It's as if g++ thinks the return type of __builtin_bswap32 is different for
template interning, but the same for name mangling, so it produces bad assembly
code with the same symbol used twice.

This also fails with g++ 4.6.3 and 4.7.2. It works with clang 3.1 and 3.4.
