Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED AssignedTo|unassigned at gcc dot |rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org |gnu.org | --- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-01-02 15:30:45 UTC --- The builtin does not prevail over the extern decl for some reason (but it's in the symtab of course). builtins have LDPR_UNKNOWN resolution, the extern has LDPR_RESOLVED_DYN. So we end up with no prevailing decl ... and in /* If there's not a prevailing symbol yet it's an external reference. Happens a lot during ltrans. Choose the first symbol with a cgraph or a varpool node. */ if (!prevailing) { prevailing = first; /* For variables chose with a priority variant with vnode attached (i.e. from unit where external declaration of variable is actually used). When there are multiple variants, chose one with size. This is needed for C++ typeinfos, for example in lto/20081204-1 there are typeifos in both units, just one of them do have size. */ if (TREE_CODE (prevailing->symbol.decl) == VAR_DECL) { for (e = prevailing->symbol.next_sharing_asm_name; e; e = e->symbol.next_sharing_asm_name) if (!COMPLETE_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (prevailing->symbol.decl)) && COMPLETE_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (e->symbol.decl))) prevailing = e; } } where we probably should prefer builtins as we never replace those when fixing up the cgraph. Mine.
