Forwards are meant to encode "struct foo;", "enum foo;" or "union foo;". Obviously these all exist in distinct namespaces, so forwards store the type kind they forward to in their ctt_type member (which makes conceptual sense if you squint at it). The addition machinery uses this to promote forwards to the appropriate type as needed. Unfortunately ctf_add_type does not: it checks the global namespace (which is always wrong), and so fails with a spurious conflict if you have, say, a typedef and then a forward comes along with the same name, even if it's a forward to something like a struct. (This was observed with , which has "struct _IO_FILE;" and also "typedef struct _IO_FILE _IO_FILE"). We should look at the recorded type kind and look in the appropriate namespace. We should also, when creating the forward in the new container, use that type kind, rather than just defaulting to CTF_K_STRUCT and hoping that what eventually comes along is a struct. This bug is as old as the first implementation of ctf_add_type in Solaris. But we also want a new feature for the linker, closely-related and touching the same code so we add it here: not only do we want a forward followed by a struct/union/enum to promote the forward, but we want want a struct/union/enum followed by a forward to act as a NOP and return the existing type, because when we're adding many files in succession to a target link, there will often be already-promoted forwards (in the shape of a struct/union/enum) that want to unify with duplicate forwards coming from other object files. v5: fix tabdamage. libctf/ * ctf-create.c (ctf_add_type): Look up and use the forwarded-to type kind.
