New submission from Eric N. Vander Weele: Compilers are not required to elide static functions which are unused.
Some compilers, such as Solaris Studio, always emits the function, even if the function does not get called within the translation unit. This becomes problematic when a static inline function calls a non-existent function; thus, resulting in (dynamic or static) link time errors. Given that 'blake2' is never referenced nor called, remove the definition of this function to increase portability for non-Linux toolchains. https://blogs.oracle.com/d/entry/inline_functions_in_c also indicates that this is case for Solaris Studio as well. ---------- components: Build files: blake2-remove-unused-function-1.patch keywords: patch messages: 284781 nosy: christian.heimes, ericvw priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove unused blake2 function to avoid undefined references type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46165/blake2-remove-unused-function-1.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
