-fno-semantic-interposition (only effective with -fpic) can optimize default
visibility external linkage (non-ifunc-non-COMDAT) variable access and function
calls to avoid GOT/PLT, by using local aliases, e.g.
int var;
__attribute__((optnone)) int fun(int x) { return x * x; }
int test() { return fun(var); }-fpic (var and fun are dso_preemptable)
test:
.LBB1_1:
auipc a0, %got_pcrel_hi(var)
ld a0, %pcrel_lo(.LBB1_1)(a0)
lw a0, 0(a0)
// fun is preemptible by default in ld -shared mode. ld will create a PLT.
tail fun@pltvs -fpic -fno-semantic-interposition (var and fun are dso_local)
test:
.Ltest$local:
.LBB1_1:
auipc a0, %pcrel_hi(.Lvar$local)
addi a0, a0, %pcrel_lo(.LBB1_1)
lw a0, 0(a0)
// The assembler either resolves .Lfun$local at assembly time (-mno-relax
// -fno-function-sections), or produces a relocation referencing a non-preemptible
// local symbol (which can avoid PLT).
tail .Lfun$localNote: Clang's default -fpic is more aggressive than GCC -fpic: interprocedural
optimizations (including inlining) are available but local aliases are not used.
-fpic -fsemantic-interposition can disable interprocedural optimizations.
