Hi,

I am forwarding a feedback from our engineer Benjamin Kosnik regarding
similar failure

Message from the test:

Symbol address found for Virtual table entry [0][1] 0xfff86ae4bf8 (found) doesn't match 0xfff86ae4c08 (expected)
Virtual Function[0][1] NULL or _ZNSt21__ctype_abstract_baseIcED0Ev (expected) doesn't match _ZNSt14collate_bynameIcED0Ev (found)
Unmangled expected: std::__ctype_abstract_base<char>::~__ctype_abstract_base()
Unmangled found...: std::collate_byname<char>::~collate_byname()
[!!!] Unqualified function names do not match:
 (expected) ~__ctype_abstract_base()
 (.found..) ~collate_byname()


Test Purpose Comment: _ZSt21__ctype_abstract_baseIcE virtual function pointers

This is very problematic, in that std::__ctype_abstract_base<char> is never instantiated by user or library code. Instead, the std::ctype<char> class is derived from std::locale::facet, and std::ctype_base. 

If you're wondering, "hey, does this libstdc++.so have a std::ctype<char> facet that works?" Well then, the answer is in libstdc++-v3/testsuite/22_locale/ctype*. This is part of "make check" in the gcc package, so if there are fails there then be concerned. And the same for codecvt, in libstdc++-v3/testsuite/22_locale/codecvt*.

Instead, this testsuite is looking at libstdc++ exports. In fact, there is a vtable emitted for std::ctype<char>, due to the use of "inline template" explicit instantiations in src/locale-inst.cc. This I consider a build/versioning oversight/mistake that now must be maintained for ABI compat.

But you want to verify on a built machine.

You can re-make the file with the vtables (locale-inst.o), and instrument it as follows:

cd LIBCXXBLD/src/c++98;
make CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fdump-class-hierarchy" locale-inst.o

then, look at the generated files:

locale-inst.o
locale-inst.cc.002t.class

In the .class file, look for:

Vtable for std::ctype<char>
std::ctype<char>::_ZTVSt5ctypeIcE: 12u entries
0     (int (*)(...))0
8     (int (*)(...))(& _ZTISt5ctypeIcE)
