I was giving LTO a play and trying to look at some of the testsuite failures.
One of the failures that I am seeing is an ICE when I try to compile an empty
function. I reduced this from the ICE for c-torture/compile/20021204-1.c
void t(void)
{
}
The ICE occurs in cc1 with and without LTO
ram...@numenor:~/cos/build-try/gcc$ ./cc1 ~/20021204-1.i
/home/ramana/20021204-1.i:6: internal compiler error: in start_function, at
c-decl.c:6225
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
Doing a bt shows that

And the ICE is because of this particular line in c-decl.c : 6226. The comment
indicates that DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME should not be set up at this point of time.
Ofcourse removing the assert helps this case go through, but the original test
seems to silently generate wrong code.
In gcc/c-decl.c:6225
/* This is the earliest point at which we might know the assembler
name of the function. Thus, if it's set before this, die horribly. */
gcc_assert (!DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME_SET_P (decl1));
Simply removing the assert as expected doesn't help with the original test
failure because it ICE's elsewhere as a result of this change.
