Since GCC 10 and llvm.org Clang 11, -fno-common is the default.
However Apple's Xcode Clang hasn't followed suit yet, and still
defaults to -fcommon.
Compiling with -fcommon causes uninitialized global variables to
be treated as "common" (which allows multiple object files to have
similar definitions).
Common variables seem to have the issue that their intended alignment
isn't signaled, so the linker assumes that they may need alignment
according to their full size.
With large global tables, this can lead to linker warnings like
this, with Xcode 16.3:
ld: warning: reducing alignment of section __DATA,__common from 0x8000 to 0x4000 because it exceeds segment maximum alignment
This can be reproduced with a small snippet like this:
char table[16385];
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; }
Compiling with -fno-common avoids this issue and warning, and
matches the default behaviour of other compilers. (Compiling with
-fno-common also avoids the risk of accidentally accepting
duplicate definitions of global variables, as long as they are
uninitialized.)
