GCC 12.2 libc_nano exporting retargetable locking functions and data

Hi,

While upgrading a project from the 11.2 to 12.2 releases of the GNU ARM Embedded toolchain, I'm encountering a problem:

This is due to the version of libc_nano included with the 12.2 release including the retargetable locking functions (the stubs?).  Is this a mistake?  They aren't weak so can't be overridden by the project to provide its own locking implementation.

These symbols were not exported by the 11.2 build.  They conflict with the newlib_lock_glue.c generated by STM32CubeMX for STM32 projects (in this case, an H7 project).  I thought these retargetable locking functions were supposed to be implemented by the user, and that a default implementation was not possible for a bare metal application.  What is the intention for projects to do to work with GCC 12.2 newlib_nano?

  • Ahhh nicely done! Yea I'd confirmed what you'd said about the symbols being identical, but never got around to experimenting with linker command line setups.

    It makes sense that this is the cause of the propblem we were seeing, though -- the {start/end}-group options would cause a loop where the linker would try to resolve all symbols it can from within the group, so that was pulling in the fault-stub library definitions before the overrides. Better practice would be to only do such grouping right at the end of the linker command line
