[edk2-devel] [PATCH] ArmPkg/ArmSoftFloatLib GCC4x: fix build failure
Posted by Ard Biesheuvel 4 years, 10 months ago 
The upstream SoftFloat code that was recently incorporated into
ArmSoftFloatLib uses some parameterization to tweak the inlining
and optimization behavior for different compilers.

The custom platform.h file that sets these parameters is based on
the upstream version for Linux/ARM, but was updated to include the
'always_inline' GCC attribute into the INLINE macro, to ensure that
all definitions that are marked as inline are not only inlined into
their callers, but also to ensure that no version of the function
is ever emitted into the object file.

This works fine on recent GCC and Clang, but the latter part turns
out to break on GCC 4.x, resulting in duplicate definition linker
errors. Fortunately, the synticatically more appriopriate 'static
inline' works fine on both the recent and the older compilers, so
let's switch to that instead.

Oh yeah, I knew that, and completely missed it when reviewing.

This behaviour hasn't actually changed substantially in later versions
of GCC. I bet all that's saving us there is LTO :)

Not sure. LTO is disabled entirely for this library, since it
interoperates poorly with intrinsics.
