From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050623 Fedora/1.0.4-5 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: When compiling multiple (as opposed to a single) java source files and linking with a static library the linker gives unresolved symbols for the classes in the library. If you examine gcj -v output you can see that the library parameters to collect2 are out of order. Compiling a single file works, so does compiling multiple into objects and then linking. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-4.0.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a static library 2. Create at least two files, one of which uses a class in the library 3. Compile linking to library Actual Results: Undefined reference of the classes in the library Expected Results: Should compile Additional info: collect2 ... /tmp/ccTBtUMj.o libtest.a /tmp/cc5arF0n.o ... ... /tmp/cc5arF0n.o(.text+0x38): In function `Main::main(JArray<java::lang::String*>*)': ccVcD1Gyjx: undefined reference to `TestClass::class$
Created attachment 116686 [details] a testcase. check Makefile targets, it also tests that single file works fine and that compiling to objects works fine.
I'm testing a patch.
Patch submitted: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-07/msg00926.html
I checked the fix in to gcc cvs head. I'm not really sure what to do with this PR... close it? Put the bug in RH gcc 4.0.1 and close it?
This is in gcc-4.0.1-3 in rawhide.
