Bug ID: 31873
Summary: clang stops finding GCC candidates in a directory with
a broken symlink
Product: clang
Version: 3.9
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: -New Bugs
Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org
Reporter: w...@quora.com
CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
Classification: Unclassified
In a directory with a broken symlink, clang-3.9 stops searching for other GCC
candidates in that folder. This behavior is different from clang-3.6 which
continue to search for GCC candidates as shown below. (In this case, there was
a symlink in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu that was broken.)
While this bug is pretty minor, I believe that this should be fixed as we saw
this problem in a box that we did not try to modify that directory, so it is
likely that there might be other people that also affected by this problem.
