undefined reference to dlopen - c++

I have one C program which I want to load into my running C program. Following are the snippet
File : a.c
#include <stdio.h>
void abc() {
printf("This is abc\n");
}
File : mainFile.cpp
#include<stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
void *lib = dlopen("./a.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if (!lib) {
printf("dlopen failed: %s\n", dlerror());
return 1;
}
void (*f)() = dlsym(lib, "abc");
if (f) {
f();
} else {
printf("dlsym for f1 failed: %s\n", dlerror());
}
dlclose(lib);
return 0;
}
I am compiling with the following commands
gcc -fpic -g -shared -ldl -o a.so a.c
g++ -w mainFile.cpp -o mainFile
Output:
/tmp/cc9fYZaf.o: In function `main':
mainFile.cpp:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `dlopen'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I am compiling in Ubuntu 16.04 with gcc version gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.12) 5.4.0 20160609
Please help
Note: I have followed the following references but none helped.
Can you dynamically compile and link/load C code into a C program?
undefined reference to `dlopen' since ubuntu upgrade
undefined reference to `dlopen'

The second line — the one which links the executable — needs the -ldl, not the first:
g++ -w mainFile.cpp -ldl -o mainFile

g++ can't find libavcodec, but gcc can [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
linking with libavcodec, still seeing undefined references
(1 answer)
Closed 4 months ago.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 trying to compile some code that uses libav. Take the following example script:
// main.c
#include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
int main()
{
avcodec_find_encoder((enum AVCodecID) 0);
return 0;
}
If I build this with gcc test.c -lavcodec it builds just fine, but if I build it with g++ test.c -lavcodec I get:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccHxMTp1.o: in function `main':
test.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `avcodec_find_encoder(AVCodecID)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I think you're 'suffering' from C++ name mangling. Try wrapping the #include line with an extern "C" {, } pair...
extern "C" {
#include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
}
int main()
{
avcodec_find_encoder((enum AVCodecID) 0);
return 0;
}

shared library with Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (clang++)

I have a problem while running an executable file with dlopen function used to open shared and sanitized library with a one simple function.
I use precompiled Clang 3.9.0 for Ubuntu 14.04.
My question is: Is it possible to run it properly, so I can look for undefined behavior errors in the library while running an executable ? If the answers is yes, then how ?
I have two files:
//simpledll.cpp
#include <cstdio>
int hehe(int argc) {
int k = 0x7fffffff;
k += argc;
return 0;
}
//dlopen.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main() {
void* handle;
handle = dlopen("simpledll.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if(!handle) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", dlerror());
}
int (*function)(int) = reinterpret_cast<int (*)(int)> (dlsym(handle, "_Z4hehei"));
if (function == nullptr)
fprintf(stderr, "Nope\n");
else
function(1000); // this yields signed integer overflow
return 0;
}
I have tried to get it to work in two steps (both have failed)
Step I
Compile the executable with:
clang++ dlopen.cpp -ldl --std=c++11 -o dlopen
Compile the library with:
clang++ -fsanitize=undefined -shared -o simpledll.so -fPIC simpledll.cpp
Result:
./dlopen: symbol lookup error: simpledll.so: undefined symbol: __ubsan_handle_add_overflow
Step II (idea from this forum)
Compile the executable as in Step I,
Compile the library with:
clang++ -fsanitize=undefined -shared -Wl,--whole-archive -L/usr/local/lib/clang/3.9.0/lib/linux/ -lclang_rt.ubsan_standalone_cxx-x86_64 -Wl,--no-whole-archive -lclang_rt.ubsan_standalone-x86_64 -Wl,--no-whole-archive -o simpledll.so -fPIC simpledll.cpp
Result:
==11478==Sanitizer CHECK failed: /home/development/llvm/3.9.0/final/llvm.src/projects/compiler-rt/lib/ubsan/ubsan_init.cc:61 ((UBSAN_MODE_UNKNOWN)) != ((ubsan_mode)) (0, 0)
Note that in Step II, if we substitute the function in the shared library with the one that has no undefined behavior code, the program runs without a CHECK failed error. This indicates that UBSAN has found an undefined behavior code, however it was unable to report it properly.

Defining macros for a source file form the command line

I am trying to define a macro for the source file from the command line on an ubuntu system using the -D flag .
The source file is:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int factorial(int n){
if(n!=1){
return(n * factorial(n-1));
}
else return 1;
#ifdef DEEPAK
cout<<"hello"<<endl;
#endif
}
int main()
{
factorial(4);
return(0);
}
The command I am typing is:
gcc -Wall -DDEEPAK factorial.cpp -o main
BUT, I am getting the error:
/tmp/cc4Ii5l2.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
factorial.cpp:(.text+0x63): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()'
factorial.cpp:(.text+0x72): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
You should use g++ instead of gcc in the command, because gcc doesn't link to the C++ STL by default, and hence it gives an undefined reference to std::ios_base.
g++ -Wall -DDEEPAK factorial.cpp -o main

ifstream linker error

I am trying to read in a file. I attempt to use ifstream in read() but I get the following error.
undefined reference to std::basic_ifstream<char,
std::char_traits<char> >::basic_ifstream()'
/home/ameya/Documents/computer_science/cs130B/prog2/prog2.cpp:24:

undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' collect2: error: ld
returned 1 exit status make: * [prog2] Error 1
It says undefined reference to ifstream but I included that at the top so, why am I getting that error? Thanks in advance
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ifstream>
using namespace std;
class DepthMap{
public:
int merge(int numbers[]);
int mergehelper(int left[], int right[]);
void read();
};
int DepthMap::merge(int numbers[]){
return -43;
}
int DepthMap::mergehelper(int left[], int right[]){
return -43;
}
void DepthMap::read(){
ifstream inputFile;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
DepthMap depth;
printf("Here");
return 0;
}
Here is my Makefile
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -Wall
all: prog2
prog2: prog2.o
clean:
rm -f prog2
#include <fstream> as it should be.
Your g++ seems to be broken. Why do you not install clang?
Here are some suggested corrections for your makefile:
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -Wall
prog2: prog2.o
g++ $(CXXFLAGS) prog2.o -o prog2
prog2.o: prog2.cpp
g++ $(CXXFLAGS) prog2.cpp -o prog2.o
clean:
rm -f prog2
I believe what you're looking for is
#include <fstream>
You are using gcc to compile and link rather than g++. By using the latter it will make sure you link against libstdc++.so without having to explicitly add it.
Seeing your Makefile confirms the above for linking.
Although you define CXX to be g++ that is only used for the implicit rule that compiles the source file. The implicit rule for linking falls back to CC which will probably be gcc. See the Catalogue of Implicit Rules for GNU make.

undefined reference to xercesc_2_8 when compiling sample ocde

I'm trying to compile the following sample code available at XERCES site:
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
// Other include files, declarations, and non-Xerces-C++ initializations.
XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
try {
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
}
catch (const XMLException& toCatch) {
// Do your failure processing here
return 1;
}
// Do your actual work with Xerces-C++ here.
XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
// Other terminations and cleanup.
return 0;
}
with,
g++ -g -Wall -pedantic -L/usr/lib -lxerces-c -o xercesTest xercesTest.cpp
giving me the following linking error:
/tmp/ccYIHCfR.o: In function `main':

I've installed xerces-c28 and xerces-c2-dev through aptitude on my ubuntu-server 12.04
Any help would be appreciated.
Put the library last on the command line:
g++ -g -Wall -pedantic -L/usr/lib -o xercesTest xercesTest.cpp -lxerces-c
include the lib path of xerces:
try this
g++ -I/<xerces-c 2.8.0 path>/include -c xercesTest.cpp
g++ -L/<xerces-c 2.8.0 path>/lib -lxerces-c xercesTest.o
