NEWS for GCC 6 (as of Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2) -* A bug/regression in the compiler has been identified whereby the target function that is invoked when calling a "weak" function directly is the "strong" override, whereas when calling the function via a pointer the "weak" implementation is used. This would be noticed as inconsisent function invocation when invoking directly vs. invoking via function pointer. This issue only affected arm targets, not AArch64. This regression has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2. +* A bug/regression in the compiler has been identified whereby the target function that is invoked when calling a "weak" function directly is the "strong" override, whereas when calling the function via a pointer the "weak" implementation is used.

"https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764":https://bugs.linaro.org/sho p(((. The Linaro binary toolchain release contained files with a .la suffix as artifacts of the toolchain build process. These .la files are helper files for libtool, but unlike a gcc install tree, they are not position independent and contain full paths. Since these artifacts contain absolute paths they can actually mislead user invocation of libtool into not finding required libraries (because they reference the build tree, not the install location) and hence breaking Autotools builds. These *.la file artifacts have been removed from Linaro toolchain binaries because they are unnecessary for users. - * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.01 snapshot added further enablement for ARMv8-M and these have been incorporated into this release. |
