[Pnet-developers] [bug #13498] ilalink jumps to conclusions too soon when auto-referencing libs that are indirectly required

[Ron MacNeil]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #13498 (project dotgnu-pnet):

I've uploaded a test case demonstrating the bug.  Extract the tgz and cd into
the directory.

"make bug" and watch cscc (actually ilalink) fail to find c.dll.  In this
case, b.dll is referenced first, causing it to try to find c.dll via the
auto-indirect-reference thing (outlined in the code snippet in the original
post).  It can't find c.dll and blows up without waiting to see if we
explicitly reference c.dll later (which we do).

Then, "make nobug" and watch everything work.  Why?  Look at the makefile; The
only difference is the order of the -l switches are swapped so c.dll is
referenced before b.dll, avoiding the auto-indirect-reference mechanism.

Thanks again,
Ron
