Libabigail's internal representation of elf symbols fails to account
for common symbols in relocatable files. There can be several common
symbols of the same name (defined in a section of SHN_COMMON kind).
In that case, Libabigail wrongly considers these multiple instances of
the same common symbol as being alias, and that breaks some
basic assumptions about aliases. Oops.
This patch adds support for the common symbols (and the fact that
relocatable files can have several instances of the same common
symbol) and amends the ELF reader to make it properly represent those.
* include/abg-ir.h (elf_symbol::elf_symbol): Take a new flag to
say if the symbol is common.
(elf_symbol::{is_common_symbol, has_other_common_instances,
get_next_common_instance, add_common_instance}): New member functions.
* src/abg-ir.cc (elf_symbol::priv::{is_common_,
next_common_instance_): New data members.
(elf_symbol::priv::priv): Adjust.
(elf_symbol::{elf_symbol, create}): Take a new flag to say if the
symbol is common.
(textually_equals): Adjust to account for symbol common-ness.
(elf_symbol::{is_common_symbol, has_other_common_instances,
get_next_common_instance, add_common_instance}): Define new member
functions.
(elf_symbol::add_alias): Drive-by fix; compare symbols using
pointer value. Value comparison is not necessary.
* src/abg-dwarf-reader.cc (lookup_symbol_from_sysv_hash_tab)
(lookup_symbol_from_gnu_hash_tab, lookup_symbol_from_symtab)
(read_context::lookup_elf_symbol_from_index): Adjust the creation
of the symbol to account for common-ness.
(read_context::load_symbol_maps): Recognize instances of a given
common symbol and represent them as such. Do not mistake this
with symbol aliases.
* src/abg-reader.cc (build_elf_symbol): Adjust the creation of the
symbol to account for common-ness.
* src/abg-writer.cc (write_elf_symbol): Adjust symbol
serialization to account common-ness.
* tests/data/test-types-stability/pr19141-get5d.o: Add new test
binary input.
* tests/data/test-types-stability/pr19142-topo.o: Likewise.
* tests/data/Makefile.am: Add the new test inputs to source distribution.
* tests/test-types-stability.cc (elf_paths): The the new test
inputs into account.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and Instrumentation Library. It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts. The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or program. For a given library or program this set of quantities is called an ABI corpus. This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh, that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these differences. You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files CONTRIBUTING and COMMIT-LOG-GUIDELINES files in the source tree. Communicating with the maintainers of this project -- including sending patches to be include to the source code -- happens via email at libabigail@sourceware.org.
