------- Comment #15 from iains at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-05-30 14:51 ------- we emit the meta-data [mostly tabular] for the runtime on the basis of DECL_PRESERVE_P (or mark_decl_referenced () in the trunk version).
The initlist for these decls contains references to the classes and methods. I wonder if this is hiding the relationship from lto? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44140
