    work around constant folding bug 61144 in gcc 4.9.0 and 4.9.1 · a6adb2bc
    Rich Felker 提交于
    previously we detected this bug in configure and issued advice for a
    workaround, but this turned out not to work. since then gcc 4.9.0 has
    appeared in several distributions, and now 4.9.1 has been released
    without a fix despite this being a wrong code generation bug which is
    supposed to be a release-blocker, per gcc policy.
    
    since the scope of the bug seems to affect only data objects (rather
    than functions) whose definitions are overridable, and there are only
    a very small number of these in musl, I am just changing them from
    const to volatile for the time being. simply removing the const would
    be sufficient to make gcc 4.9.1 work (the non-const case was
    inadvertently fixed as part of another change in gcc), and this would
    also be sufficient with 4.9.0 if we forced -O0 on the affected files
    or on the whole build. however it's cleaner to just remove all the
    broken compiler detection and use volatile, which will ensure that
    they are never constant-folded. the quality of a non-broken compiler's
    output should not be affected except for the fact that these objects
    are no longer const and thus possibly add a few bytes to data/bss.
    
    this change can be reconsidered and possibly reverted at some point in
    the future when the broken gcc versions are no longer relevant.
