http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073187 Bug ID: 1073187 Summary: Another section specification was not stored in the generated object file. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: Markus.Elfring@web.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 753374 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=753374&action=edit Update example: Addition of section identifiers for two function definitions I tried out to specify extra sections for two functions as the attached patch example shows. I tried to clarify my understanding of desired software behaviour also by a request on the topic “Difficulties with section specifications for function definitions?”. https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2017-12/msg00034.html I hope to get a bit more constructive feedback according to the software “GCC 7.2.1+r253932-2.3” for a test result like the following. elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/Linux/next-patched> my_cc=/usr/bin/gcc-7 && my_module=drivers/target/loopback/tcm_loop.o && make -j4 CC="${my_cc}" HOSTCC="${my_cc}" EXTRA_CFLAGS='-Og' allmodconfig "${my_module}" && size -A "${my_module}" | grep my_ … my_update 510 0 my_test1 360 0 If I pass an other setting for the code optimisation like “Os” or “O3”, I observe that the section name “my_test1” is not displayed so far. I would like to compare sizes for code sections (I am interested in) between software build variants. My approach seems to trigger further development considerations then when my extra names will be omitted somehow in special build configurations. How can the situation be improved? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
