This fixes a problem with commit128bf1fe60, a patch I made 2019-08-06. Apparently it is possible to trigger the assertion I added during an LTO bootstrap, something I haven't reproduced. However, I did find a case triggered by an odd linker script feature that allows a file to be loaded from the script without specifying that file on the command line. Regarding input sections: "When you use a file name which is not an archive:file specifier and does not contain any wild card characters, the linker will first see if you also specified the file name on the linker command line or in an INPUT command. If you did not, the linker will attempt to open the file as an input file, as though it appeared on the command line." So putting .foo : { foo.a(*) } into a script supposedly extracts foo.a into .foo. Except it doesn't, since this feature is meant for object files only. Well anyway, assuming --whole-archive was given on the command line, foo.a contains a -flto object and no other objects involved were -flto then we'll hit the assert due to files added like foo.a here *not* having their input statement put on the general statement list. Why these are not put on the statement list isn't obvious but it has been that way since commit193c5f93a1in 1994. PR 24981 * ldlang.c (lang_process): Remove assertion. Comment.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
