RE: ld goes into infinite loop

["Berk, Murat" <Murat_Berk at bmc dot com>]

I partially solved the problem. I made the fully inlined class non-inline.

class OSS_WorkTask : public OSS_Task
{
...
}

So it makes the following entires not to be exported from the shared
libraries
which has classes derived from OSS_WorkTask.

__tf12OSS_WorkTask;
__ti12OSS_WorkTask;
__vt_12OSS_WorkTask;

or after c++filt
OSS_WorkTask type_info function;
OSS_WorkTask type_info node;
OSS_WorkTask virtual table;

This prevents linker going into infinte loop when more than 2 shared
libraries used (which had the above entires) to create a new shared library.

All shared library version scripts are in the form

VERSION {
VERS_7.1 {
global:
__tf12OSS_WorkTask;
__ti12OSS_WorkTask;
__vt_12OSS_WorkTask;
.... a lot of more entries (~2500)
local:
*;
};
}

I do not know how can I reproduce it into a smaller testcase.

Please provide a small, complete testcase so that we can reproduce
and fix it.
