Bug#783054: mklibs-readelf does not list symbols of GNU unique type as provided
Package: mklibs
Version: 0.1.40
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
GNU unique symbol bind type is introduced, and enabled by GCC 4.9 to address some
certain binding problems. The Standard C++ library from GCC as a result, uses
this binding type for some of the symbols.
However, mklibs-readelf does not treat any symbol other than STB_WEAK or
STB_GLOBAL as provided by library.
The issue randers some symbols false 'unresolvable' when trying to generate
minimal library set.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
mklibs-readelf --print-symbols-provided /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 \
| grep empty_rep_storage
* What was the outcome of this action?
Nothing, so the symbol is `not provided'.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
_ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE False GLIBCXX_3.4 True
_ZNSbIwSt11char_traitsIwESaIwEE4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE False GLIBCXX_3.4 True

Subject: [PATCH] Show GNU unique symbols as provided symbols
GNU Unique symbol is a GNU extension employed by new version of GCC
by default. Even Standard C++ library in GCC 4.9 provides some symbols,
such as _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE in this binding type instead
of ELF standard weak binding.
This patch adds support of this new binding type to mklibs-readelf.
