Bug ID: 65797 Summary: [5.0 regression] IPA ICF causes function to be emitted with no debug line info Product: gcc Version: 5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: hubicka at ucw dot cz Reporter: ian at airs dot com This stand alone test case is boiled down from libgo/runtime/go-make-slice.c. typedef unsigned int uintptr_t __attribute__ ((mode (pointer))); typedef unsigned int uint64_t __attribute__ ((mode (DI))); extern int f1 (char *, uintptr_t, uintptr_t); int f2 (char *p, uintptr_t s) { return f1 (p, s, s); } int f4 (char *p, uint64_t s1, uint64_t s2) { uintptr_t t1, t2; t1 = (uintptr_t) s1; if ((uint64_t) t1 != s1) return 0; t2 = (uintptr_t) s2; if ((uint64_t) t2 != s2) return 0; return f1 (p, t1, t2); } int f3 (char *p, uint64_t s) { return f4 (p, s, s); } When I compile this -g -O2 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls on x86_64 f2 is converted into a function that does nothing but call f3. From the standpoint of execution that is fine. What is not fine is that f2 is emitted with no debug line information. When compiling for x86_64, the .s output is: .p2align 4,,15 .globl f2 .type f2, @function f2: .LFB4: .cfi_startproc subq $8, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 call f3 addq $8, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8 ret .cfi_endproc .LFE4: .size f2, .-f2 Note the absence of any .loc directives. This is causing a failure in the libgo testsuite (runtime/pprof on x86_64). The failure is, essentially, a failure of the stack backtrace to determine the name of the function f2. In the absence of line information the library is unable to know the name of the function.
