           Summary: shared libs don't play well with etc.c.zlib
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86_64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: druntime

If I compile a file importing etc.c.zlib into a shared library as
rdmd --build-only -shared -fPIC -lphobos2 testsharedlib.d,

I get this when trying to load the library:

Fatal Error while loading
'/home/lomereiter/dmd2/linux/lib64/libphobos2.so.0.64':
        The module 'etc.c.zlib' is already defined in './testsharedlib'.

testsharedlib.d:

import etc.c.zlib;
void main() {}

---
loading from Python:

import ctypes
lib = ctypes.CDLL('./testsharedlib')

AFAIU DMD 2.064 should come with a shared version of Zlib library, because
otherwise its symbols become duplicated, and module collision detector prevents
loading user-produced shared libraries (that behaviour was introduced in
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/487)

So I mark that as a regression, 'cause I don't wanna be stuck with buggy 2.063
shared library support.

Don't link in the unshared version of phobos when building a shared library,
otherwise you'll get multiple definitions of the same symbols.

Any shared libs you create should be linked against libphobos2.so, not
-lphobos2.

But it is linked against _shared_ version. Moreover, it is impossible to link
against libphobos2.a because it's not compiled with -fPIC.

I have to specify -L-lphobos2 on the command line just for that, otherwise DMD
tries to use static libphobos2.a, and linker barks that it should be recompiled
with -fPIC


 /usr/bin/ld: /home/artem/dmd2/linux/bin64/../lib64/libphobos2.a(
ifetime_46c_6c8.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`_D15TypeInfo_Shared7__ClassZ' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
 /home/artem/dmd2/linux/bin64/../lib64/libphobos2.a: could not read symbols:
Bad value
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Seems like rdmd includes the etc in the build so the error message is correct
because the etc.c.zlib module is already defined in libphobos2.so.
Try the --exclude=etc option to avoid this.

The other part of the story is that rdmd should know about this and not build
etc.c phobos modules.

Thanks, that works. But such behavior of rdmd is quite confusing to the users;
speaking for myself, I never had a use case for the --exclude option before.

OK I renamed the bug and lowered the priority.
Sadly there is no tools Component in this Bugzilla.
