Subject: MUSL ignores__attribute__((constructor(priority))) ?
Hi all!
While investigating some really strange behavior of osmocom software
on MUSL based systems (see https://osmocom.org/issues/4456)
there are two observations:
1) if there are multiple libraries (in this example libosmocore and libtalloc,
where libosmocore depends on libtalloc), the __attribute__((constructor))
functions are not called in inverse dependency order, i.e. the talloc
ones are *not* called before those of libosmocore.
2) even when adding an explicit "priority" field like
static __attribute__((constructor(65535))) void on_dso_load_ctx(void)
the MUSL ld.so doesnt' seem to respect this, i.e. it still calls the
constructor with the high priority value *before* the constructor of lower
priority. This is not as specified in https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
I don't know whether '1' is a bug (i.e. whether it is valid to assume constructors
of libraries are executed in-line with library dependencies). However, I am
quite convinced '2' is a bug.
Regards,
Harald
