Before now, we were relying on gcc -B to repoint GCC at our freshly-built linker, and assuming we could use this to run tests that do linker dedup. This is, alas, not reliable (building --with-ld=/an/absolute/path bypasses -B searches for the linker), and we would like the libctf tests in particular to not fail if the compiler uses a linker that cannot deduplicate (simply skipping such tests). Add a new testsuite function that tries to link one of the lookup tests' testcases (which is known to produce conflicting types, i.e. a dict with per-translation-unit children) and then does an objdump and greps it for signs of the per-translation-unit children. If there are none, the linker probably just concatenated the sections: i.e., it is not a linker that can deduplicate CTF. libctf/ PR libctf/33162 * testsuite/config/default.exp (objdump): Introduce. (OBJDUMPFLAGS): Likewise. * testsuite/lib/ctf-lib.exp (check_ctf_linker_dedup): New. * testsuite/libctf-lookup/lookup.exp: Use it. * testsuite/libctf-regression/libctf-repeat-cu.exp: Likewise. * testsuite/libctf-regression/regression.exp: Likewise.
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.
