llvm dev - Jun 2011 - [LLVMdev] Difficulties in using gold plugin. (

Executing
nm --plugin /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/LLVMgold.so test.a
Gives:
00000000 W _ZN6tester4dumpEv
00000000 W _ZN6tester7readArgEPc
00000000 W _ZN6testerC1Ev
00000000 W _ZN6testerD1Ev
And and more entries 
Without the plugin command "File format not recognized".

So it seems like nm is using the plugin.

But only if explicitly told to do so. It should search the bfd-plugins 
directory automatically. Is the nm you are using installed in /usr/bin?

It seems like I also had one in /usr/local/bin with the same version and it was
the default to be used. Now I copied my bfd-plugins folder to /usr/local/lib and
nm does not require the plugin option anymore. However the linker still cannot
find the symbols.

Thanks for the pointers,
Istvan
