Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [Clang] Fix linker error for function multiversioning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Currently target_clones attribute results in a linker error when
there are no multi-versioned function declarations in the calling TU.
In the calling TU, the call is generated with the ‘normal’ assembly name.
This does not match any of the versions or the ifunc, since version mangling
includes a .versionstring, and the ifunc includes .ifunc suffix. The linker
error is not seen with GCC since the mangling for the ifunc symbol in GCC
is the ‘normal’ assembly name for function i.e. no ifunc suffix.
This PR removes the .ifunc suffix to match GCC. It also adds alias with
the .ifunc suffix so as to ensure backward compatibility.
The changes exclude aarch64 target because the mangling for default
versions on aarch64 does not include a .default suffix and is the
'normal' assembly name, unlike other targets. It is not clear to me
what the correct behavior for this target is.
