Description of problem: Given this code struct f { int a,b; }; const struct f f1[] = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }; const struct f f2[] = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }; const struct f f3[] = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }; gcc today does not perform any kind of merging when -fmerge-all-contants is used. Possibilities: - intra-CU merging should happen here in any case when the option is given - inter-CU merging can also be tried by moving the data in an appropriately named section (until gas/bfd do not depend on names anymore) which has the SHF_MERGE flag set Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-4.3.0-8 and all prio versions How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.compile code above with -fmerge-all-constants 2. 3. Actual results: no merging, three separate variables allocated Expected results: intra CU merging and using a section which allows inter CU merging Additional info:
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Still not changed in F14 and still valid.
Thank you for your bug report. We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is no longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora.
