...e do not know that fact, and even for those who have knowledge on ELF, the current half-broken behavior is confusing and not useful. So I'd like to propose we simplify it. Let me explain why it is half-broken. Assume that we have foo.c with the following contents: __attribute__((weak)) void weakfn(void) {} int main() { if (weakfn) weakfn(); } What it's intended to do is to call weakfn only when the function is defined. If you link foo.o against a shared library providing a definition of weakfn, the symbol is added to the executable's dynamic symbol table as a weak undefined symbol...
