-xprofile=use postopt has assertion failure

Question

i got the following assertion failure while trying to link a shared library with -xprofile=use (and -xipo=2 -xlinkopt=2):
$ /usr/local/stow/sunstudio10/bin/CC  -fast -xipo=2 -xjobs=5 -xprefetch -xlinkopt=2 -xprofile=use:runsim -KPIC -features=extensions -xtarget=ultra3cu -xarch=v9a -G -xtarget=ultra3cu -xarch=v9a -o libsparcsulima.so [lots of .o files] -lCstd -lCrun -lsocket -lelf
CC: Fatal error in postopt: Abort (core dumped)
postopt: assertion failed: at line 351 in file "../src/generic/infrastructure/exception_handler.cc"
postopt: Invalid symbol referenced in exception relocation entryi have saved the core file, if that might be useful.

Answer 1

To address this problem, we would need a test case that demonstrates the failure. The core dump would not show what caused the assertion.
If you have a service contract with Sun, please file a bug report via your support channel. They will request a test case, and we can keep the code confidential if necessary.
If you don't have a service contract, let me know if the email address in your profile is valid, and if so, I'll contact you.
But the best way to address bugs in the product is through Sun Service. Although people don't always believe me when I say it, back channels are actually less effective than going in the front door.
