Hi everyone,
GCC: h...@155348, i686-pc-cygwin native, libelf-0.8.13, and I'm seeing this
FAIL in the C testsuite:
> FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20011119-1.c (test for excess errors)

Looking at the generated assembly using --save-temps:
> 32 .section .gnu.lto_*_xxx,"dr"
Now, I think (reading the spec) that it might actually be legal to have an
asterisk in a section name in a COFF file, but it's certainly not something
GAS currently understands; it parses them like identifiers.
However, before I go off and adjust the assembler to accept more flexible
section names, I wondered if anyone could tell me off the top of their head:
is LTO /meant/ to generate section names with asterisks in them like that? Do
ELF versions of GAS allow them?
Or has something maybe gone in some way strangely bizarrely wrong with a
failed filename glob operation here, perhaps during the streaming and
unstreaming or lto-collect2 stage?
cheers,
DaveK
