LTO: kicad build fails due to undefined reference to toplevel assembly function
Last modified: 2020-12-30 10:02:32 UTC
Kicads libcontext.cpp contains toplevel assembly, which fails to link: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/electronics/kicad/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64 https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/blob/master/common/system/libcontext.cpp PLD Linux has a patch to replace the toplevel assembly with a "naked" function: http://git.pld-linux.org/?p=packages/kicad.git;f=lto.patch;h=ad2c2f023eb7ffeefef2c1fd4cff1fdc9f6b3156;hb=HEAD To me, using a naked function appears better than disabling LTO for the generated object file.
Can you comment on the patch from PLD linux?
Yes, I welcome the usage of naked functions.
cleaning up... since kicad is currently building this should be fixed.
