Subject: [PATCH v1] perf symbol-elf: Avoid a weak cxx_demangle_sym function
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2024 19:17:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241119031754.1021858-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
cxx_demangle_sym is weak in case demangle-cxx.c replaces the
definition in symbol-elf.c. When demangle-cxx.c is built
HAVE_CXA_DEMANGLE_SUPPORT is defined, as such the define can be used
to avoid a weak symbol. As weak symbols are outside of the C standard
their use can lead to strange behaviors, in particular with LTO, as
well as causing issues to be hidden at link time.
