And there is the optimization issue that we already get rid of the need
for the inline body during early inlining and thus we'd need to keep the
extern decl only. And always-inline body never "prevails" (even though
we emit them eventually if inlining failed or somebody took its address -
something we maybe should change ...). It works when using
extern inline __attribute__((always_inline,gnu_inline)) or extern inline
and not -std=c99. So maybe that inline int readlinkat() {} _can_ prevail?
The glibc fortify wrappers use
extern __inline __attribute__ ((__always_inline__)) __attribute__
((__gnu_inline__)) __attribute__ ((__artificial__)) void *
__attribute__ ((__nothrow__ , __leaf__)) memcpy (void *__restrict __dest, const
void *__restrict __src, size_t __len)
{
return __builtin___memcpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __builtin_object_size
(__dest, 0));
}
and thus extern gnu inline always-inline which works fine. So IMHO this
bug doesn't warrant P1 status.
Btw, it fails with 4.8 even with -O0 (with 4.9 -O0 works!? Ah, because
we massaged the condition guarding the error ...).
Still the callgraph is wrong and we miscompile the testcase in 4.9 with -O0
(to an endless recursion).
In the testcase from comment #2 'readlinkat' is
<function_decl 0x7ffff6d4a800 readlinkat
...
addressable used public static autoinline decl_5 QI file t.c line 4 col 10
align 8 context <translation_unit_decl 0x7ffff6d6a000 D.1748> attributes
<tree_list 0x7ffff6d45938> initial <block 0x7ffff6d55910>
which makes it go to the LTO symbol table (where the linker plugin then
decides it prevails - which is already wrong). When adding 'extern' to
the declaration we do _not_ output it in the LTO symbol table because
it isn't even in the symtab encoder (it's reclaimed).
So I'm not sure if the testcase is even valid (without -flto we behave
the same as gcc 4.9 with -O0 and -flto - we compile this to endless
recursion - and a self-recursive always-inline function is ok to being
diagnosed IMHO).
So - I'm inclined to close this as INVALID? My glibc version always has
'extern' on the inlines.
So - please provide preprocessed source of the file that uses readlinkat
or provide complete compile options.
