Bug ID: 127508
Summary: undefined reference to non-virtual thunk when using
modules with multiple inheritance, templates and
static library
Product: gcc
Version: 16.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: andrey.antufyev at yandex dot ru
Target Milestone: ---
The code will compile if you do any:
- Remove one (or both) of the base classes
- Make BasicObject non-template
- Move MyObject to main.cpp
- Remove MyObject entirely and use BasicObject<int> in main.cpp
- Don't use a static library and link with the object file
- Add -O1, -O2, etc.
Works on 14.4, fails on 15.1+.
Found breaking commit using git bisect:
ad30265ccfb211fca35789df2d1404cc12302219 (c++: Implement modules ABI for vtable
emissions).
Tested by reverting that commit on thunk, and it worked.
mymod.cppm
```cpp
module;
#include <iostream>
export module mymod;
export namespace mymod {
class Writable {
public:
virtual ~Writable() noexcept = default;
virtual void Write() const = 0;
};
class Readable {
public:
virtual ~Readable() noexcept = default;
virtual void Read() = 0;
};
template<typename T>
class BasicObject : public Writable, public Readable {
public:
virtual ~BasicObject() noexcept = default;
void Write() const override {
std::cout << "Write\n";
}
void Read() override {
std::cout << "Read\n";
}
};
class MyObject : public BasicObject<int> {
public:
void Test() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
};
}
```
main.cpp
```cpp
import mymod;
int main() {
mymod::MyObject obj;
obj.Test();
return 0;
}
```
g++ -std=c++20 -fmodules -o mymod.o -c mymod.cppm
ar qc libmymod.a mymod.o
g++ -std=c++20 -fmodules -o main.o -c main.cpp
g++ -o main main.o libmymod.a
```
