I think the best thing would be to revert the offending patch on old branches (4.6 and 4.5) and see if the deferal can be fixed properly - though I didn't look at the pa issue in detail.

This indirectly calls assemble_external from output_addr_const. This can be seen in comment #4 in the PR. This occurs after the pending externals are processed. We have to ensure that we only output function descriptors that are referenced, and we can only determine this at final. As a result, assemble_external is called after the VEC has been deleted. The compiler doesn't ICE. It goes into an infinite loop when a call to pointer_set_insert tries to extend the deleted VEC. It does this even if the pointer is already in the VEC hash. Previously, the storage wasn't deleted. I suspect the ineffective calls on hpux weren't noticed because assemble_external had already been called for the function descriptors earlier, so the list in the backend was complete. The problem was first seen with the Linux target. There is no backend list for this target because it doesn't use or need assemble_external. I personally think it was wrong to add the deferral in assemble_external, but that's another issue. Dave.

I can't immediately see how your description of "the list of pending externals
and the vector" is deleted. pa.c keeps its own vector which references the
decls and the only issue I see is that if you call assemble_external after
processing externals you ICE because the pointer-set is not initialized?
Why does the pa backend end up calling assemble_external at final time?

[PATCH] Fix PR middle-end/52894
The current 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 branches are now seriously broken for all
PA target due to the fix applied for PR middle-end/52640, an optimization
fix. This is because the PA backend defers output of function descriptors
and externals (hpux) using TARGET_ASM_FILE_END. As a result, assemble_external
can be called after after varasm.c processes it's list of pending externals
and the vector used for this list deleted.
The attached change fixes this problem. The change has been tested
on hppa-unknown-linux-gnu and hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 with no observed
regressions. I believe it to be the simplest way to fix these release
branches although it may not be optimal (externals are doublely delayed
on PA hpux).
Ok for the 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 branches? The fix for PR middle-end/52640
was not applied to the trunk.
