[Bug ld/10205] New: STT_GNU_IFUNC definition doesn't work in executable

[hjl dot tools at gmail dot com]

STT_GNU_IFUNC definition doesn't work in executable. I have a glibc patch:

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2009-05/msg00182.html

But it doesn't work with static executables. Should we allow
STT_GNU_IFUNC definition in executable at all?


address@hidden ifunc-2]$ cat prog.c
extern int foo (int);

int
main (void)
{
  foo (-3);
  return 0;
}
address@hidden ifunc-2]$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>

int global = 1;

static int
minus_one (int x)
{
  printf ("Hello minus_one: %d\n", x);
  return -1;
}

static int
zero (int x) 
{
  printf ("Hello zero: %d\n", x);
  return 0;
}

void * foo_ifunc (void) __asm__ ("foo");
void * foo_ifunc (void) { return global ? minus_one : zero ; }
__asm__(".type foo, %gnu_indirect_function");
