Nick Alcock 95ade9a5f4 libctf: impose an ordering on conflicting types ... When two types conflict and they are not types which can have forwards (say, two arrays of different sizes with the same name in two different TUs) the CTF deduplicator uses a popularity contest to decide what to do: the type cited by the most other types ends up put into the shared dict, while the others are relegated to per-CU child dicts. This works well as long as one type *is* most popular -- but what if there is a tie? If several types have the same popularity count, we end up picking the first we run across and promoting it, and unfortunately since we are working over a dynhash in essentially arbitrary order, this means we promote a random one. So multiple runs of ld with the same inputs can produce different outputs! All the outputs are valid, but this is still undesirable. Adjust things to use the same strategy used to sort types on the output: when there is a tie, always put the type that appears in a CU that appeared earlier on the link line (and if there is somehow still a tie, which should be impossible, pick the type with the lowest type ID). Add a testcase -- and since this emerged when trying out extern arrays, check that those work as well (this requires a newer GCC, but since all GCCs that can emit CTF at all are unreleased this is probably OK as well). Fix up one testcase that has slight type ordering changes as a result of this change. libctf/ChangeLog: * ctf-dedup.c (ctf_dedup_detect_name_ambiguity): Use cd_output_first_gid to break ties. ld/ChangeLog: * testsuite/ld-ctf/array-conflicted-ordering.d: New test, using... * testsuite/ld-ctf/array-char-conflicting-1.c: ... this... * testsuite/ld-ctf/array-char-conflicting-2.c: ... and this. * testsuite/ld-ctf/array-extern.d: New test, using... * testsuite/ld-ctf/array-extern.c: ... this. * testsuite/ld-ctf/conflicting-typedefs.d: Adjust for ordering changes.		2022-04-28 11:47:12 +01:00
