Bug ID: 77267
Summary: MPX does not work in a presence of "-Wl,-as-needed"
option (Ubuntu default)
Product: gcc
Version: 6.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: aivchenk at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
When compiling with -Wl,-as-needed libmpx.so and libmpxwrappers.so are not
linked:
>gcc -fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx any_mpx_test.c -Wl,-as-needed
> ldd a.out
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc687a0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000035c8c00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055e88586f000)
And hence, MPX does not work.
(In a working scenario it should be like that:
> ldd a.out
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff53fe7000)
libmpx.so.0 => /lib64/libmpx.so.0 (0x00007f135ac34000)
libmpxwrappers.so.0 => /lib64/libmpxwrappers.so.0 (0x00007f135aa31000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000035c8c00000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000035c9400000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000558619680000)
)
This case is important because on Debian/Ubuntu -no-as-needed option is always
implicitly added while linking.
