Cannot use xercesc with new c+11 flags in Solaris' newest compiler - c++

Question

Using xerces-c-3.1.1 and SolarisStudio12.5Beta-solaris-x86-bin (on Solaris 10).
./configure CXX=CC CC=cc CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11"
gmake
gmake check
results in 37 core dumps and the error messages
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'xercesc_3_1::EndOfEntityException'
a pstack on 1 of the core files show

Any tips on making xerces-c work with sun studio 12.5 and c++11?

Answer 1

Assuming the build process for Xerces 3.1.1 is the same as Xerces 3.1.4, Xerces is explicitly linking in the standard Solaris C++ run-time libraries. That's a problem because specifying -std=c++11 causes Solaris Studio to use the g++ ABI and runtime.
This is ldd output on one of the test executables from compiling Xerces 3.1.4, admittedly on Solaris 11:

Note the presence of libstdc++.so.6 (the g++ runtime) and libCstd.so.1 and libCrun.so.1 (the standard Solaris C++ runtime).
This is from the "What's New" documentation on Solaris Studio 12.4:
Using C++11 Features
In Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4, the C++ compiler supports C++11, a new
language and ABI (Application Binary Interface).
In C++ 11 mode, the CC compiler uses the g++ ABI and a version of
the g++ runtime library that is supplied with Oracle Solaris Studio.
For this release, version 4.8.2 of the g++ runtime library is used.
The C++11 implying the use of the g++ ABI and runtime also applies to Solaris Studio 12.5:
A.2.88 –std=v
...
c++11
Selects C++ 11 dialect and g++ binary compatibility. It sets the
__SUNPRO_CC_COMPAT preprocessor macro to 'G'.
But the Xerces build explicitly links in the standard Solaris C++ runtime in addition to the implicitly-linked g++ runtime.
