Re: .subsections_via_symbols broken in Xcode 2.4?



Sounds like you are talking about dead code stripping, which is not and has never been the default. Pass -dead_strip to the compiler driver or linker.

-gfull is for debugging symbols, and does not affect this behavior.

Hello,

It seems smart linking is no longer working in Xcode 2.4? The test2 routine at least isn't stripped from the following test program:

***
#include <stdio.h>

void test() {
  printf("hello\n");
}

void test2() {
  printf("goodbye\n");
}

int main() {
  test();
  return 0;
}
***

The generated assembler file does contain the .subsections_via_symbols statement. But after assembling and linking, the generated binary still contains the full test2() routine (verified with "otool -tV"). Adding -gfull to gcc's command line options doesn't change anything.

PS: it seems the Xcode 2.4 sources haven't been posted yet?
