--- Comment #2 from Corentin Silva Pereira <corentin.silvapere...@4d-virtualiz.com> --- (In reply to Nick Clifton from comment #1) Hi Nick, Just so you can have more context, our software is developped with QT C++, and we have a lot of .o and .so files to link with the main software of our solution. One command can link like a 100 files/lib. This is the one that's causing this crash. Unfortunately, i can't give you the ld command i use because the code belongs to my company and i'm not authorized to give it. Although i tried to compile binutils 2.34 manually and i managed to cause the segfault within GDB. Here's what i got : Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000555555600b03 in elf_link_add_object_symbols (info=<optimized out>, abfd=<optimized out>) at elflink.c:5262 5262 non_ir_ref_dynamic = h->root.non_ir_ref_dynamic; (gdb) bt #0 0x0000555555600b03 in elf_link_add_object_symbols (info=<optimized out>, abfd=<optimized out>) at elflink.c:5262 #1 bfd_elf_link_add_symbols (abfd=<optimized out>, info=<optimized out>) at elflink.c:5809 #2 0x000055555559c484 in load_symbols (place=<optimized out>, entry=0x55555580f630) at ldlang.c:3098 #3 load_symbols (entry=0x55555580f630, place=<optimized out>) at ldlang.c:2959 #4 0x000055555559cebf in open_input_bfds (s=0x55555580f630, mode=mode@entry=OPEN_BFD_NORMAL) at ldlang.c:3568 #5 0x000055555559f518 in lang_process () at ldlang.c:7649 #6 0x00005555555a32a7 in main (argc=225, argv=0x7fffffff9358) at ./ldmain.c:444 I tried to give -g -O0 to all binutils so i can have all the symbols, but i still can't print h or print h->root within GDB. > The 2.34 release of the binutils is quite old now. Are you able to update > to a newer version ? To answer your question, we are porting the software to Ubuntu 24.04 which uses a more recent version of binutils but i still have the problem on Ubuntu 24.04 so i don't think it is very related to the version. Are there elements i can add to the binutils compiling arguments to give you more information ? For example, something to generate a coredump or something to read those optimized out values Best regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
