[PATCH] D44485: [MC] Always emit relocations for same-section function references

[Jameson Nash via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

vtjnash added a comment.

We emit an offset table of the form:

  ptrdiff_t symbol_offset = &f2 - &f1;

since we know this should normally be folded to a constant in the object file. This is normally rejected by a C compiler ("error: initializer element is not a compile-time constant", pointing to the `f2` symbol) but LLVM accepts it. It used to be handled here (since the difference //is// a constant known here), though it seems the mingw-w64 linker later corrupts this expression.
