Hi Philip,
basically all versions after the addition of -Wl,-i… are affected. The
reasons why this pops up now is a change in the Sun Studio compiler. Older
unpatched versions accepted both -Wl,-i and -Qoptions ld -i, interim-versions
only accepted the first notation leading to the described problems. The
solution is to just use the recent Solaris Studio version and the error
vanishes. I don't know if it is worth working around an issue of older compiler
versions, probably not.
The issue with the name mangling is currently done by the assumption that only
g++ and assorted linkers accept -i on legacy function aliasing. Before going
deeper in the discussion I would like to know if the introduced function alias
is MacOS-specific as the comment suggests. If yes, I suggest shielding the test
to the MacOS-platform where to my knowledge gcc is the only compiler anyway.
Best regards -- Dago
