<br>
This is a question on how to resolve weak symbols from the binary for<br>
symbols that are also llvm::Module-local. Currently, the JIT seems to<br>
favor resolving to module-local symbols over existing symbols:<br>
<br>
$ cat symbols.cxx<br>
extern "C" int printf(const char*,...);<br>
<br>
template <class T> struct StaticStuff {<br>
static T s_data;<br>
};<br>
template <class T> T StaticStuff<T>::s_data = 42;<br>
<br>
int compareAddr(int* interp);<br>
#ifdef BUILD_SHARED<br>
int compareAddr(int* interp) {<br>
if (interp != &StaticStuff<int>::s_data) {<br>
printf("Wrong address, %ld in shared lib, %ld in interpreter!\n",<br>
(long)&StaticStuff<int>::s_data,<br>
(long)interp);<br>
// CHECK-NOT: Wrong address<br>
return 1;<br>
}<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
#else<br>
# ifdef __CLING__<br>
int Symbols() {<br>
# else<br>
int main()<br>
# endif<br>
{ return compareAddr(&StaticStuff<int>::s_data);}<br>
#endif // ! BUILD_SHARED<br>
<br>
<br>
$ clang++ -shared -fPIC -DBUILD_SHARED symbols.cxx -o libSymbols.so<br>
$ clang++ -cc1 -emit-llvm symbols.cxx -o - | lli -load ./libSymbols.so -<br>
or<br>
$ clang++ -lSymbols symbols.cxx && ./a.out<br>
<br>
Compiled it's happy: the weak symbol used in main gets resolved to be<br>
the one in the binary for both references. That's the behavior I'd expect.<br>
<br>
The JIT OTOH is deciding that it shall use the local version of the<br>
symbol; RuntimeDyld::getSymbol() doesn't care about the fact that the<br>
symbol is weak and has an existing occurrence.<br>
<br>
For weak symbols from a different module, RuntimeDyld would use<br>
resolveExternalSymbols() and all would be good - but here this doesn't<br>
happen.<br>
<br>
IIUC, RuntimeDyld::getSymbol() really needs to check whether the local<br>
symbol should survive or not, before handing out its address. But that<br>
seems to break the whole design of when relocs happen, so I'm sure I'm<br>
wrong. Can I get some hints on how to implement the proper patch?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Axel.<br>
