Bug ID: 33484
Summary: ar: Alpha/ECOFF thin archives missing subsequent
members
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: macro at orcam dot me.uk
Target Milestone: ---
Target: alpha*-*-linux*ecoff* alpha*-*-osf*
For Alpha/ECOFF targets given these sources and recipe:
$ cat a.s
.data
.globl aa
aa:
.dc.a bb
$ cat b.s
.data
.globl bb
bb:
.dc.a aa
$ as -o a.o a.s
$ as -o b.o b.s
$ ar rcT abt.a a.o b.o
$
an archive is produced that only lists a.o:
$ nm abt.a
a.o:
0000000000000000 D aa
U bb
$
The same recipe works for all other targets, producing correct contents,
e.g.:
$ alpha-linux-nm abt.a
a.o:
0000000000000000 D aa
U bb
b.o:
U aa
0000000000000000 D bb
$
Consistently, the archive also fails link:
$ cat abc.s
.text
.globl ff
ff:
.data
.globl cc
cc:
.dc.a aa, bb
$ as -o abc.o abc.s
$ ld -o abtc -e ff abc.o abt.a
ld: abt.a: error adding symbols: no more archived files
$
Here it works for most other targets, except for a few a.out ones which
fail for another reason.
I've examined the state as at commit a8da6403829d ("Add support for thin
archives.") and it produced the same results, so it's not a regression
and thin archives have never worked for Alpha/ECOFF targets.
