            Bug ID: 23262
           Summary: undefined reference to `__atomic_load_8', when it
                    comes to 64-bit atomic load.
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++11

clang fails to deal with 64-bit atomic load and compare_exchange_weak when it
comes with -stdlib=libstdc++, while gcc can deal with it correctly.

The test program is from
http://preshing.com/20150402/you-can-do-any-kind-of-atomic-read-modify-write-operation/
:

cat >test-atomic.cc<<EOF
#include <atomic>
struct Terms
{
    uint32_t x;
    uint32_t y;
};

std::atomic<Terms> terms;

void atomicFibonacciStep()
{
    Terms oldTerms = terms.load();
    Terms newTerms;
    do
    {
        newTerms.x = oldTerms.y;
        newTerms.y = oldTerms.x + oldTerms.y;
    }
    while (!terms.compare_exchange_weak(oldTerms, newTerms));
}

int main() {
    atomicFibonacciStep();
}
EOF

test with:
$clang++-3.7 -std=c++11 -stdlib=libstdc++ -O3 test-atomic.cc

BTW: clang++ works just fine with libc++. (the generated assembly code looks
almost the same to gcc's)
