[uml-devel] [PATCH 4/9] UML - Export gcov symbol based on gcc version

[uml-devel] [PATCH 4/9] UML - Export gcov symbol based on gcc version

[Jeff Dike]

The init function called by gcc when gcov is enabled is __gcov_init or
__bb_init_func, depending on the gcc version.  Anton is using 3.3.4 and 
seeing __gcov_init.  I'm using 3.3.2 and seeing __bb_init_func, so we need
to close that gap a bit.

This patch is still wrong.

It seems my comment on this [1] was lost:

<--  snip  -->

This line has to be something like

( (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 3 && __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 4) && \
   HEAVILY_PATCHED_SUSE_GCC ) 

I hope SuSE has added some #define to distinguish what they call 
"gcc 3.3.4" from GNU gcc 3.3.4

<--  snip  -->

Can't we just fix it by havign an alias for both names? It seems stupid to 
jump through hoops and worry about compiler versions, when afaik we could 
just do something like

	extern xxxx(...) __attribute__((alias("yyyy")));

instead. Exact details left to the reader who knows more about all the 
magic gcc/linker things..

No, because the patch is wrong. It should export both symbols in the second 
case.

OK, this exceeds my current linker-fu, but I'll take a look and get a better
fix for this.

"You hope" does not mean "it exists".
Secondly, the patch is wrong anyway, as I said elsewhere.

It wasn't lost - I am just disinclined to cater to distros making their
gcc lie about its version.

And therefore you added a patch that helps only those distros at the 
price of breaking other people and distros using sane compilers?

A dirty method would be to use a configure prinsip to test-compile, and
have a define that depends on it. Perhaps dirty, conserning kbuild, but
resolves problems, unless the alias symbol works.

Didn't you start this thread by pointing out that SuSE has a gcc 3.3.4
which isn't?  I would call that a compiler which lies about its version, and
for the purposes of this argument, I would say that it is not a sane
compiler.

Given this, your original (correct) claim was that my patch would not help
such compilers.  Are you now claiming that it does help such compilers, and
no one else?

Re: [PATCH 4/9] UML - Export gcov symbol based on gcc version

Didn't you start this thread by pointing out that SuSE has a gcc 3.3.4
which isn't?  I would call that a compiler which lies about its version, and
for the purposes of this argument, I would say that it is not a sane
compiler.

Given this, your original (correct) claim was that my patch would not help
such compilers.  Are you now claiming that it does help such compilers, and
no one else?

This line has to be something like

( (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 3 && __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 4) && \
   HEAVILY_PATCHES_SUSE_GCC ) 

<--  snip  -->

IOW:
Only heavily patches gcc 3.3 compiler define __gcov_init.


Anton's original report said that he needs __gcov_init with
SuSE gcc 3.3.4 .

No, my claim is that no sane gcc 3.3 defines __gcov_init.

I'll have to undo this patch... I said that you must export both symbols when 
GCC version is the right one.

And I can say this version is > 3.3.4, since my good Gentoo's 3.3.4 does not 
include this symbol.

We rediscussed this with Jeff, and I'll post a better patch: 
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__gcov_init), and weakly define it to an empty function. I'll 
do it tomorrow.
