[LLVMdev] ld: Assertion failed: (memberIndex != 0), function makeObjectFileForMember

[David Garsha]

Hi,

I'm encountering the following assertion when linking an Xcode project with Xcode 4.6.3 (4H1503). The project has dependencies on, and links against, an Objective-C static library Xcode project, and a C++ static library Xcode project. All are using using LLVM 4.2.

ld: Assertion failed: (memberIndex != 0), function makeObjectFileForMember, file /SourceCache/ld64/ld64-136/src/ld/parsers/archive_file.cpp, line 354.

0  0x10fa41098  __assert_rtn + 144
1  0x10fa678af  archive::File<x86_64>::makeObjectFileForMember(archive::File<x86_64>::Entry const*) const + 1149

A linker snapshot was created at:
	/tmp/<Name Removed>-2013-09-22-135411.ld-snapshot
ld: Assertion failed: (memberIndex != 0), function makeObjectFileForMember, file /SourceCache/ld64/ld64-136/src/ld/parsers/archive_file.cpp, line 354.
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The problem does not occur in Xcode 5.0 (5A1413) with LLVM 5, but unfortunately I must continue to use Xcode 4 for a while.

Any suggestions for how to work around this assertion, or hints as to what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Regards,
David
