[LLVMdev] Comment "FIXME" in X86MachObjectWriter::RecordX86Relocation

[Verena Beckham]

Hi,

In X86MachObjectWriter::RecordX86Relocation I found the comment


   if (Target.isAbsolute()) { // constant
     // SymbolNum of 0 indicates the absolute section.
     //
     // FIXME: Currently, these are never generated (see code below). I 
cannot
     // find a case where they are actually emitted.
     Type = macho::RIT_Vanilla;
   }

Is the FIXME still true? I've got some code that hits this, and it seems 
any code doing a function call to an absolute address (as described in 
this bug for ELF: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8656) would hit 
this. (Although I haven't tried it)

I'm using Windows 32bit x86 Mach-O, with MCJIT.

Trying to find a bug within my program and wondered whether the code is 
just not supported by LLVM. Let me know if you need a testcase.

Thanks!
