GNU ld can handle several definitions of the same weak symbol, and
unless there is a strong definition of it, it just picks the first
weak definition encountered.
For each of the weak definitions, GNU tools produce a regular symbol
named .weak.<weaksymbol>.<othersymbol>, where the other symbol name is
another symbol defined close by.
This can't be reproduced by assembling with llvm-mc, as llvm-mc always
produces similar regular symbols named .weak.<weaksymbol>.default.
The bundled object files can be produced from test code that looks like
this:
$ cat gnu-weak.c
void weakfunc(void) __attribute__((weak));
void otherfunc(void);
__attribute__((weak)) void weakfunc() {
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
otherfunc();
weakfunc();
return 0;
}
void mainCRTStartup(void) {
main(0, (char**)0);
}
void __main(void) {
}
$ cat gnu-weak2.c
void weakfunc(void) __attribute__((weak));
__attribute__((weak)) void weakfunc() {
}
void otherfunc(void) {
}
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -O2 gnu-weak.c
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -O2 gnu-weak2.c
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-nm gnu-weak.o | grep weakfunc
0000000000000000 T .weak.weakfunc.main
