Description
It's hard to tell how long this bug has existed for, but I've only recently discovered it.
It's most likely the issue is with gold linker, but I wouldn't be able to provide good information to the Gold linker devs.
So far only myself and one other user have experienced this bug, both on Arch Linux.
If your interested in how Qt 5.9 is built on Arch Linux, the build script is here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/qt5-base#n68
Dolphin-emu seems to be aware of this bug: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/wiki/Building-With-Qt which mentions that building with lto will break qt.
The console outputs something like the following whenever you try to launch a Qt application built with LTO.
QObject::connect: signal not found in QPAEventDispatcherGlib QObject::connect: signal not found in QCommandLinkButton QObject::connect: signal not found in QCommandLinkButton QObject::connect: signal not found in QPushButton
I've been able to reproduce the issue with:
https://github.com/RoboJackets/qt-example/tree/completed
using the following cmake flags:
cmake ../ -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-flto" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=" -flto" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang
and adding target_link_libraries(example -lstdc++) on line 21 of CMakeLists.txt
It would be great if we could reproduce this on different distros.
Also, would appreciate guidance if this is the wrong component.
