From 13a79bbfe583e1d8cc85d241b580907260065eb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Espindola Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 21:26:06 +0000 Subject: Change how we handle section symbols on ELF. On ELF every section can have a corresponding section symbol. When in an assembly file we have .quad .text the '.text' refers to that symbol. The way we used to handle them is to leave .text an undefined symbol until the very end when the object writer would map them to the actual section symbol. The problem with that is that anything before the end would see an undefined symbol. This could result in bad diagnostics (test/MC/AArch64/label-arithmetic-diags-elf.s), or incorrect results when using the asm streamer (est/MC/Mips/expansion-jal-sym-pic.s). Fixing this will also allow using the section symbol earlier for setting sh_link of SHF_METADATA sections. This patch includes a few hacks to avoid changing our behaviour when handling conflicts between section symbols and other symbols. I reported pr31850 to track that. llvm-svn: 293936 --- llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp') diff --git a/llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp b/llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp index f8744f5542e..f714aeef054 100644 --- a/llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp +++ b/llvm/lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp @@ -4417,6 +4417,7 @@ bool AsmParser::parseDirectiveComm(bool IsLocal) { return Error(Pow2AlignmentLoc, "invalid '.comm' or '.lcomm' directive " "alignment, can't be less than zero"); + Sym->redefineIfPossible(); if (!Sym->isUndefined()) return Error(IDLoc, "invalid symbol redefinition"); -- cgit v1.2.3
