Hi, First, using GCC 8.3.0 and binutils 2.37.I am trying to increase performance of linking our product, so I thought I'd give LTO a try. So I am compiling all object files with -flto, and passing -flto to g++ (which we use as our link driver). However, what I have found is that some of our code violates the C++ One Definition Rule (-Werror=odr). This only happens when building with LTO - without LTO, the C++ rule is not violated. The problem exists with LTO using both the BFD and gold linkers. So, my question is, since the LTO object files are now such that one needs to use gcc-nm to examine them (which I know is a wrapper around nm, and passes an option to load the LTO plugin). how can I leverage that to see if there are other translation units that define the class that ODR violation is complaining about? I did do a fairly thorough analysis of the object files and did not see there the particular class and methods would be multiply defined, but that was just based on symbol names from gcc-nm output. I suspect there is more to this since the object files have LTO information now, and that is what I'd like to examine. Any hints on how to move forward with diagnosing LTO link errors? Thanks, Tom
