...the bug was known and voluntary not fixed by laziness ;-). I am sure there is a valid reason and wanted to know about it. Just like you explained, it appears that LLVM rely on LLD to do that instead of enforcing it in the middle-end which is a different approach to GCC. > In GCC, -O turns on -fmerge-constants.

Hi there, When I compile my code with -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections, I still see some unused string in my shared library (Android). Actually, the strings appear together inside a .rodata.str1.1 section instead of getting their own section. It seems that the C-string literal are considered differently than other constant and the -fdata-sections is not respected in

...t think this is very > difficult. Actually, we do this on purpose. It is a huge win for us and we don't want to not do this, even if that means not exactly conforming to the standard. Essentially, we wish the standard had chosen otherwise. gcc handles this choice like this: @item -fmerge-all-constants Attempt to merge identical constants and identical variables. This option implies @option{-fmerge-constants}. In addition to @option{-fmerge-constants} this considers e.g.@: even constant initialized arrays or initialized constant variables with integral or floating point types....

Hello, Tatu > Is that correct? I think it's just something to be aware of. Currently we're aggressively merging globals by default. Do you think it will be better to provide special flag to control this behavior? -- WBR, Anton Korobeynikov

I find it surprising that given this: void f1() { const struct { int a; } b = { 0 }; } that clang does not put b on the stack. gcc does. My gut feeling says it belongs on stack. But perhaps, the thing is, it is const, and location shouldn't matter to most code, as long as lifetime is adequate. Almost no code could tell the difference. But we have code that takes the address of things, and
