History

#1

Updated by John Levon 11 months ago

  • Subject changed from Makefile.master: introduce GCCNEXT to guard options gcc 4 doesn't understand to need GCC options to disable function cloning
  • Assignee changed from Toomas Soome to John Levon

For newer GCCs, we need to specify -fno-clone-functions and -fno-ipa-icf as part of Makefile.master's
CCNOAUTOINLINE

These options prevent GCC from making copies of functions, and removing identical functions, so dtrace and friends can still find them as expected.

Because GCC4 doesn't understand them, we need to specify them as _gcc6=... etc.
