Description Matteo Salonia 2022-03-14 20:13:44 UTC
Hello everyone,
I just discovered a bug. If "ocaml" is compiled with the flag "-fno-semantic-interposition", it will compile most programs just fine, but it will error out when compiling "dev-ml/findlib".

When compiling findlib, after a certain point ld will start spitting out errors saying "undefined reference to xxxxx.o", and will fail to compile findlib.

I think the best option is to filter out "-fno-semantic-interposition" from CFLAGS in ocaml's ebuild (via flag-o-matic?)

Greetings,
Matteo

It'd be most helpful to see an example, but that doesn't sound crazy.
Comment 2 Matteo Salonia 2022-03-14 20:29:12 UTC
It appears "-fno-semantic-interposition" is not a problem -- LTO seems to be the problem here. ("-flto")

That's why the full logs are useful :)

Please attach some showing failure, and include emerge --info.

I thought we'd already handled this before and that 4.13.x should be unaffected (fixed already upstream): bug 818445.

I'm confused then. Is it broken with these options or something else? I thought it was LTO?

Also, is this definitely with OCaml 4.13.1?

No, it works with these options, it's broken if you add "-flto".

> Also, is this definitely with OCaml 4.13.1?

Yes.

Does it fail with just -O2 -flto? You need to narrow down which flags and report it upstream so it can be fixed properly.

Otherwise, all we can do for now is filter LTO again. It's a shame that the fix in https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/9825 was insufficient.
Comment 10 Matteo Salonia 2022-03-14 20:50:30 UTC
Yes, it does fail with just "-O2 -flto". Removing "-flto" seems to fix all issues for me.

What a shame, thanks for all the info! OK, we'll filter -flto then, but can you report this upstream please?
