Commit Message

Hello world,

the attached patch fixes an 8/9/10 regression where, to fix PR 84487
by not putting the initializers and vtabs into the read-only section
(for reasons of size, which could grow enormously) led to a regression
on POWER9 and other non-x86 architectures, where the initializer was
sometimes optimized away, depending on optimization levels.

This was a strange beast to hunt down. This only showed up on
the testresults for gcc 8, so I tried to find out what commit
had fixed this on trunk, in order to backport.

However, bisecting this I found that the test case actually
segfaults all the way up to current trunk when run by hand.
By running the testsuite, I didn't see it.  This is strange,
and raises some issues about the testsuite and the possibility
of a latent issue, but I lack the knowledge to hunt this down.

In the meantime, here is this patch, which puts the vtabs and
the initializers where the user actually specified something
into the read-only section again.

Test case: Well, theoretically it is already there, so it makes
little sense to add a new one.

Regression-tested on powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu, also
verified by hand that pr51434.f90 now passes with -O2 there.

OK for trunk/9/8?

Regards

	Thomas

         * trans-decl.c (gfc_get_symbol_decl): If __def_init actually 

         contains a value, put it into  the read-only section.

OK for all three.

It is, as you have indicated, troublesome that a segfaulting
testcase isn't caught by the testsuite.

Hi Steve,

Thanks, committed to trunk as r277760.

I'll be AFK for a few days, so I will have to wait before
committing this to gcc-9. Given the convoluted history of
this bug, this might not be a bad thing.

It certainly is, but I have no solution for this at the moment.

Thanks for the review!
