APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When compiling with -O2 -qfuncsect and -qrtti, an incorrect
    linker relocation entry is generated for accessing the
    type_info/typeid class.  Accessing the class may load incorrect
    memory, resulting in invalid typeid information or segmentation
    fault.
    
    Evidence of the incorrect relocation may look like:
    
    
       COMPILE LISTING:
         445| 0000E8 lwz   807C000C  L4A gr3=__type_infoXTi_(gr28,4)
                                    Original/correct offset -----^^^
    
       LINKED BINARY:
         lwz   r3,0xfc(r28)
                   ^^^^-------- New/incorrect offset relocation
    

Local fix

  • Do not use -O2 or -qfuncsect
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who compile C++ programs with typeinfo and funcsect
    support on AIX may be affected by this issue.
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Unexpected behaviors like segfault or wrong outputs due to
    incorrect relocation when inlining some member
    function of typeinfo like name() may occur.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to take care of typeinfo special attributes when
    inlining.
    

Temporary fix
