Description
What steps will reproduce the problem? Unfortunately, I have not been able to create a simple example for this. Instead, I can only offer the information on this github issue: moovweb/gokogiri#51 To reproduce the error (hopefully!) perform these steps in a Darwin machine: 1) go get -u github.com/moovweb/gokogiri 2) cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/moovweb/gokogiri/xpath 3) go test . For most Darwin machines, the error should show up, but there's been a couple where the tests run successfully. The gist of the problem is we have a Go function that we're exporting, then in embedded c code in a different file on the same package, we try to declare the header for that function and use it, however, when we do, we get the below listed compile time error. The odd thing is that we're doing this with a bunch of different functions, but the only one that complains is exec_xpath_function. Commenting only the usage of that functions makes the compiler happy. What is the expected output? To compile normally. What do you see instead? gokogiri/xpath(__TEXT/__text): unexpected GOT reloc for non-dynamic symbol exec_xpath_function Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)? 6g, 6l Which operating system are you using? Darwin Which version are you using? (run 'go version') Fails in all go versions tried, go1.0.3, go1.1, go1.2rc2 There's a lot more info in the github issue. Basically this only seems to happen on certain Darwin systems, not all. Here are the specs for a Darwin system where the error is found: $ clang --version Apple clang version 3.0 (tags/Apple/clang-211.10.1) (based on LLVM 3.0svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 Thread model: posix $ system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview: System Version: Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (10K549) Server Configuration: Advanced Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0 Boot Volume: Server HD Boot Mode: Normal Computer Name: computer User Name: user (user) Secure Virtual Memory: Not Enabled 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes Time since boot: 34 days 3:36 And the specs for a system where the error does NOT appear (aka, compiles normally): $ clang --version Apple clang version 2.1 (tags/Apple/clang-163.7.1) (based on LLVM 3.0svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2 Thread model: posix $ system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview: System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63) Kernel Version: Darwin 11.4.2 Boot Volume: Macintosh HD Boot Mode: Normal Computer Name: computer User Name: user (user) Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes Time since boot: 2 days 16:08
