error: aborting due to previous error

Looks like this is either an issue with compiler-builtins which should avoid using any checked operations which could generate references to core crate, or an issue with cargo -Zbuild-std which should always built this crate with -Coverflow-checks=no.

[josephlr]

We encountered a similar issue in https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/rust-hypervisor-firmware/pull/69 where the following three features in combination resulted in a link failure:

• LTO
• debug build
• -Zbuild-std

However, our issues weren't solved by just using overflow-checks = false or by disabling debug assertions. We had to disable LTO or set opt-level = 1.

The issue seems to be that when libcore/compiler-builtins is built with LTO, compiler-builtins still needs to reference some functions from libcore (like core::ptr::const_ptr::offset or core::panicking::panic). However, these functions get eliminated from the main binary due to LTO, so compiler-builtins ends up with undefined references. This doesn't happen with opt-level = 1 as the calls from compiler-builtins to libcore are inlined, removing any LTO related issues.

[alexcrichton]

This crate is designed to in theory not reference any symbols from libcore. If that happens there's a bug in this crate. For example no functions should panic, and nothing should be referencing functions upstream in libcore itself.

I'm also facing this on AVR:

          collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

However, for me, adding overflow-checks = false does fix it:

[profile.dev.package.compiler_builtins]
overflow-checks = false

Curiously, I get a warning about this not being used, but it works:

warning: profile package spec `compiler_builtins` in profile `dev` did not match any packages

   Compiling arduino-leonardo v0.1.0 (/avr-hal/boards/arduino-leonardo)
    Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 11.24s

As @tmiasko wrote, maybe compiler-builtins should actually specify overflow-checks = false by itself?

[alecmocatta]

I'm also seeing this with WASM: there's an undefined reference to _ZN4core9panicking5panic17he4861068bc6d1d99E in __multi3 which causes wasm-bindgen to fail with cannot import from modules ('env') with '--no-modules'.

I see the same behaviour as @Rahix: the profile package spec triggers a warning but does actually work.

[jonahbron]

I encountered this issue as well, and fixed it with the setting mentioned by @Rahix . This issue cropped up in my program when I introduced a usage of core::cell::RefCell, not sure if that's related. I found this comment by googling "avr undefined reference to core panicking panic"

[lexxvir]

I'd like to note that the issue still occurs (one year already) and existing workaround is slightly annoying when building crates.

[Amanieu]

This should be fixed in the latest version of compiler-builtins. If this problem still occurs, please show the error message that indicates which function is calling panic.

[tmiasko]

Testing with compiler-builtins 0.1.68, the original steps still reproduce the issue for me. Panics originate from arithmetic operations that perform overflow checks:

[Amanieu]

This seems like an issue in cargo with -Zbuild-std. It needs to pass -C overflow-checks=off when building the compiler-builtins crate.

[bjorn3]

There is an open issue for this: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10118

[Amanieu]

Alternatively we could also forcibly disable overflow checks in rustc by checking for the #![compiler_builtins] attribute on the crate.

[bjorn3]

I think that would make sense for all arguments compiler-builtins needs to be compiled with.

[Amanieu]

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73136 seems to have gone in the opposite direction of pushing the work to the build system. It seems that this should be resolved on the Cargo end.

[theCapypara]

I have no idea if this is actually related to this, but I'm having a very similiar issue, where instead core::intrinsics::const_eval_select is not defined:

Any help would be appreciated, because I'm a bit lost here.

Ah, also: In dev profile I instead get the panicking issue. So I guess this is related. But I can't really get rid of the intrinstics issue by disabling overflow checks...

[josephlr]

So it seems like a lot of stuff calls core::intrinsics::const_eval_select, would it be possible to mark it as #[inline(always)] to avoid such issues?

[josephlr]

@theCapypara it might be worth it to mention your issue in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96486

[theCapypara]

For reference, I provided some more background into my particular case here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96486#issuecomment-1118315282

I have seen this problem as well. But my kernel compiled just fine. I was seeing this when I was building a UEFI based bootloader with this particular workspace profile:

[profile.min-size-release]
inherits = "release"
codegen-units = 1
lto = "fat"
opt-level = "s"

I have no idea why.
