Subject: tail recursion in _bfd_elf_link_hide_symbol
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1507ceb53d16c6db45a3aeba89d1072fc3c40dc;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

tail recursion in _bfd_elf_link_hide_symbol

We can clear the flags first if no backend hide_symbol function tests
or sets them, which is true.

	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_link_hide_symbol): Clear flags before
	calling elf_backend_hide_symbol, to enable tail recursion.
