Clang create '__stack_chk_guard' reference given '-nostdlib'

EDIT: host x86 target has the similar problem, Clang generates relocations as

Relocation section '.rela.text' at offset 0x340 contains 15 entries:

I am writing a baremetal RISC-V user mode application, and use Clang for cross compiling.
Clang is installed by pacman from arch linux offical repo.

clang version 17.0.6
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

The program declares some IO functions which will be implemented by linux syscall elsewhere.

#ifndef LIBSYSY_SYSY_H_
#define LIBSYSY_SYSY_H_

// SysY runtime library.
// Reference: https://bit.ly/3tzTFks
// Modified by MaxXing.

// Input & output functions
int getint(), getch(), getarray(int a[]);
void putint(int num), putch(int ch), putarray(int n, int a[]);

// Timing functions
void starttime();
void stoptime();

#endif  // LIBSYSY_SYSY_H_

int main() {
  // sum of array
  int arr[20], n, sum = 0;
  n = getarray(arr);
  putarray(n, arr);
  int count = getint();
  putint(count);
  putch(10);
  starttime();
  for (int j = 0; j < count; ++j) {
    for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k) {
      for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) sum += arr[i] * arr[k];
    }
  }
  stoptime();
  putint(sum);
  putch(10);

  // read characters
  n = getint();
  getch();
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) putch(getch());
  putch(10);

  return 0;
}

and the code is compiled with following commands.

clang -Wall -Werror -DNO_LIBC -nostdlib -nostdinc -static -target riscv64-unknown-linux-elf -march=rv64im -mabi=lp64 test.c -c -o test.o

The lld linker later will complain about undefined symbol '__stack_chk_guard' and  '__stack_chk_fail' which is not expected to happen when '-nostdlib' is specified.
'readelf -r' tells:

It shows that Clang generate the relocation of  '__stack_chk_guard' and  '__stack_chk_fail'.

It seems to me a bug of Clang packaging because if '-fno-stack-protector' and '-S -emit-llvm' are specified, the diff shows `sspstrong` attributes in LLVM IR:

I also compiled Clang from llvm-project release 17.0.6/18.1.0/18.1.6 with default compile configurations, and I failed to reproduce the problem above with these Clang in my machine.

Re: Clang create '__stack_chk_guard' reference given '-nostdlib'

This was a nice question, sad to see no response from "experts" and "trustees"

Re: Clang create '__stack_chk_guard' reference given '-nostdlib'

cross compiling to risc-v is a highly specialised topic, and using clang with nostdlib nostdinc makes it even more specialised.

I expect the number of people with experience related to cross-compiling risc-v using clang among archlinux forum users to be close to zero .
The number of experts will be lower.

OP hasn't visited the forum in over 3 months, closing this topic.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
