CodeGen: Fix linkage of reference temporaries
ClosedPublic

Authored by majnemer on Apr 25 2014, 10:16 AM.

Details

Summary

A reference temporary should inherit the linkage of the variable it
initializes. Otherwise, we may hit cases where a reference temporary
wouldn't have the same value in all translation units.

Handle static data members.

Give proper linkage to things with GVA_TemplateInstantiation.

This basically looks good to me, but we really need to get the Itanium ABI to cover this.

133–134

Do you have tests for this change? It seems to imply that dllimport, dllexport, and selectany now work on static local variables and didn't previously.

138–140

Hmm, I wonder why we don't do this for static locals too. Emitting it both eagerly and with a discardable linkage makes very little sense to me...

lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp
2873–2883

What should the linkage of the temporary be if the linkage of the variable is strong? Seems we have two choices here:

  1. Always the same as that of the variable. This creates more symbols than are strictly necessary, but allows us to emit the variable as available_externally in some circumstances.
  2. If the variable is strong, the temporary is private.

The difference only seems to matter if it's possible to provide an available_externally definition (that is, for a static data member with an initializer specified within the class). Since our mangling doesn't collide with anyone else's, this will only matter if/when we start emitting the available_externally definitions.

Give reference temporaries private linkage if their variable has strong, external linkage.

It is a semantic error for any of those to appear on static local variables. We get this wrong but I believe that's a different bug from this one.

lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp
2873–2883

I've updated this differential to implement option #2. This should cause us to use available_externally for the reference temporary if the variable was available_externally while using private if the variable was external.

LGTM

I expect we should do the same thing for visibility of such temporaries.
