APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Clients who list duplicate libraries on their link line more
    than once and link with -qipa may observe unresolved symbol
    errors at link time.
    
    eg:
    $xlC_r -O2 -q64 -L. -o abc abc.o -la -lb -lc -lb -la
    -qipa=level=0 -qinline=noauto -qipa=relink
    .

Local fix

  • As a workaround to avoid this problem, remove all the duplicate
    library entries from the link line.
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of TPO with -O4 and above may be affected by this issue.
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The compiler tries to avoid putting archives which are
    completely IPA
    enabled on the linker command line because all the functions
    from them will now
    be in object files for partitions at the end of IPA link. If an
    archive has any non-IPA stuff it must be on the command line.
    So at the start of IPA link, we process all object files
    including archives.
    They go into a table. In the case for this APAR, there will be
    more than one entry in the table
    for the ones that are duplicated on the command line.
    Then as we read in the object files out of the libraries we
    flag entries
    in the table as to whether they are all IPA or have some
    non-IPA members.
    Then at link edit time right before we call the linker we
    bypass the ones
    that are IPA only. However the thing that flags them only looks
    down to the first entry for
    the containing library; and we bypass that one correctly.
    But the later entries are still in that table and they are not
    bypassed.
    They never had any flags set so they get added to the command
    line to the linker which causes
    the unresolved symbols at link time.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to make a pass over the table and mark duplicate
    entries the same as the first one so the correct bypassing will
    work.
