undefined symbol for self-built llvm opt? - c++

I write a simple llvm plugin pass that requires opt to load xxx.so file and run a ModulePass. The strange thing is that when I use deb package opt (e.g., from apt-get, let's call it opt-3.7), the plugin works fine (the drawback is that it is a Release build); however when I use the opt I build myself (simplify call it opt), it frequently complains:
Error opening 'xxx.so': xxx.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK4llvm12FunctionPass17createPrinterPassERNS_11raw_ostreamERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE
using c++filt I know that opt cannot find llvm::FunctionPass::createPrinterPass(llvm::raw_ostream&, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&) const.
It's a big strange since I didn't use any FunctionPass in the pass; but let's ignore this and continue.
I then checked the result of ldd opt

The difference, I guess, is the so file libLLVM-3.7.so.1.
So where didn't I get wrong?
BTW, my llvm was built w/o and w/ -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=1, both has the undefined symbol issue.

We had exactly the same error when using LLVM plugin with CLANG 3.9. We then found the solution here: https://github.com/klee/klee/issues/336
The explanation is that ABI for libstdc++ used for LLVM and your plugin is different. To solve this problem you need to recompile your plugin with the following flag "-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0".
Check this Makefile for LLVM plugin as example: https://github.com/SamAinsworth/reproduce-cgo2017-paper/blob/master/package/plugin-llvm-sw-prefetch-pass/Makefile

Armadillo C++ configuration Check

Is there a way to check the configuration of armadillo from a c++ program? I just want to make sure armadillo has been compiled with 'atlas' or 'openblas'
I found arma::arma_config cfg; but I have no idea what cfg contains. I've done some testing and found blas and atlas but openblas does not seem to be an option. Is there anywhere I can find a complete list of what cfg contains?
That is common misunderstanding. Armadillo uses the LAPACK/BLAS interface and you can switch the libraries out at will.

On my Ubuntu system /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libblas.so.3 is a softlink that gets updated when another BLAS/LAPACK package is installed allowing you to easil switch (which I use e.g. in this GitHub repo to show how to easily install MKL.

How to solve "symbol lookup error" when running a program and nm and ldd show correct linkage?

I'm running into a symbol lookup error whenever I run a specific version/configuration of the simulator Gem5, using commit c5ca3ef6b9ff967722b07bc160fa9068e0d9e39c.
The building is done by a SConscript (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9)), and after running the program
./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -<test program> <configs>
the following error is generated:
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNKSt9type_info11__do_upcastEPKN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoEPPv, version GLIBCXX_3.4
Checking nm's output, I notice the symbol is there
nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep _ZNKSt9type_info11__do_upcastEPKN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoEPPv
000000000008e4d0 T _ZNKSt9type_info11__do_upcastEPKN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoEPPv
Then, as suggested by another answer, I check ldd:
ldd build/X86/gem5.opt
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff8b5d9000)
libpython2.7.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 (0x00007fe4b4534000)

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe4b4ac2000)
And as can be seen, libstdc++ is being chosen correctly. Would anyone have a suggestion to fix this linking problem?

./libthrift.so: /home/ano/workspace/source/open-source/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by ./libthrift.so)
As far as I've been able to google, this can happen when you build against a newer version of a library than the one you're trying to run with. But this is not the case here (unless my host's libraries are playing me a trick I can't see).
Also:
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.0) => not found
libssl.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.1) => not found
libssl.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.0) => not found
Yet these files are there in the same folder built at the same time.
What I've tried:
1.
Playing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH does not affect the issue since libthrift.so is built with rpath:
readelf -a libthrift.so | grep PATH
0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [/home/ano/workspace/source/open-source/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib]
2.
Checking file types:

libthrift.so: symbolic link to `libthrift-0.9.2.so'

libssl.so.1.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=52c9028d053f16d05b6e1ff35605019182c8b28d, not stripped
3. (new info)
Copied my local /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 into /home/ano/workspace/source/open-source/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib/.
This did infact fix the problem, so now, if I understand it correctly, it seems like when libthrift.so was built in buildroot, it used my local /lib libraries instead of the ones that was built by buildroot itself.
It turned out to be a bug in the host-thrift package in buildroot. host-thrift declared a dependency to host-boost but did not specify --with-boost and --with-boost-libdir config options for host build.
I set HOST_THRIFT_CONF_OPTS to:
HOST_THRIFT_CONF_OPTS = --with-sysroot=$(HOST_DIR) \
--with-boost \
--with-boost-libdir=$(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib \
--disable-tests \
--disable-tutorial
and that fixed the problem.

mysql/c++ connector error: libmysqlcppconn.so.7: cannot open sahred object file: No such file or directory

I know there is a lot about this on the internet and I have tried most of it without luck. Most solutions says that en environment variable is missing aka (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) which i pointed it to the file in user and root but it still does not pick it up. I am not sure what exactly is looking for the library or how to fix this??
Any ideas?

Here's how you correctly set the library path...
If your library is at /usr/local/lib/libmylib.so.4 and your program is ./myprog:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib ./myprog

Hoard allocator not "working"?

I'm trying to Hoard allocator to work, but it seems it doesn't. I have a benchmark application that does a lot of dynamic memory management. The execution time for Hoard and glibc memory manager is the same. It makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
What I do is...
export LD_PRELOAD="/path/libhoard.so"
g++ main.cpp -O3 -o bm -lpthread -lrt
Shouldn't I have to link to Hoard allocator? Does it matter what path (in LD_PRELOAD) is, or can I have whatever path?
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, and g++ 4.2.4
Cheers
No one knows any Linux command (such as grep) to find out if Hoard is loaded properly, and is the actual allocator used?
Author of Hoard here.
(a) Any path for LD_PRELOAD is fine (as long as it is correct).
(b) To see whether your code is using Hoard or not, use the ldd command. If everything went according to plan, then you will see the Hoard library (notice the second line after the second invocation of ldd).
