Hello everyone!

Today I encountered what seems to be a bug in gccgo.

What I'm trying to do is to link and use a C-library in my application
written in Go. I have narrowed the C-library down to having a method
printing "hi" on stdio.

The directory structure is:

$ tree cfuncer ccombo
cfuncer
├── inc
│ └── cfuncer.h
├── libcfunker.a
└── src
     └── cfuncer.c
ccombo
└── ccombo.go

The main Go-program looks like:

http://play.golang.org/p/h9cXKM6WzG

the C-library consists of the following code:

http://play.golang.org/p/BIVXB0wZjg

and is compiled in the following way:

$ cd cfunker
$ gcc -I inc -Wall -c cfuncer.c
$ ar cruv libcfuncer.a cfuncer.o

Compiling the main program as:

$ cd ../ccombo
$ go build main.go

works, but when using gccgo like:

$ go build -compiler=gccgo main.go

it fails with the error:

# command-line-arguments
/tmp/go-build937064904/command-line-arguments/_obj/ccombo.cgo2.o: In
function `_cgo_53b96737dc38_Cfunc_cfunction':
ccombo.cgo2.c:(.text+0x3): undefined reference to `cfunction'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

My compilers has the following versions:

$ go version
go version go1.2 linux/amd64

$ gccgo -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gccgo
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/gccgo-stable/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gccgo-stable
--enable-languages=c,c++,go
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC)

I have also tried to do the same compilation with gcc 4.9.0 but it produces
the same error.

$ gccgo -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=/opt/gccgo/bin/gccgo
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/gccgo/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.0/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/opt/gccgo --with-arch-32=i586
--enable-languages=c,c++,go
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.9.0 20131127 (experimental) (GCC)

    I recompiled my gcc today and gccgo now has version 4.9.0 20140307.

    Since the issue was solved March 12 it is not possible for me to try the
    fix with my compiler (since the gofrontend is not manually merged to gcc
    including that commit). I Also looked through the issue and it does not
    seem like it is the same problem as mine.

    If it helps my command-line arguments are:

    That is a change to the go tool, which is not included with gccgo
    anyhow.

    That is of course possible.

    Could you open an issue for this at http://golang.org/issue/new with a
    complete standalone test case? Thanks.
