I was trying to compile exprtk.hpp file (https://exprtk.codeplex.com/) with mingw32(491_32) on Qt (win7).
During compilation, I give this error message:
debug\main.o:-1: error: too many sections (35325)
I've been noticed that the exprtk.hpp file is huge (>32000 lines).
I've been trying optimization flags on compiler but It didn't help eighter.
I'll be appreciated if somebody help me...
Regards,
You can by adding the compilation flags -flto -Wl,-allow-multiple-definition and you can add -fuse-linker-plugin
-Wa,-mbig-obj do not work on x86/32bits architecture (only x64)
Such huge header-only code is already bad design, i'd rather recommend to use another library, like muParser.
Your problem was already discussed in other threads, like this.
As you've already noticed, passing /bigobj to Microsoft's compiler
causes it to output a munged COFF format with up to 2^31 sections,
which "should be enough for anybody."
I've tested this new option with MinGW-w64 and it works. You need to
pass -Wa,-mbig-obj to gcc to opt-in to big objects (-Wa means pass
this option to the assembler). – Francis Gagné

I am attempting to compile a C++ library for a Tegra TK1. The library links to TBB, which I pulled using the package manager. During compilation I got the following error
/tmp/cc4iLbKz.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc4iLbKz.s:9541: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `strexeq r2,r3,[r4]'
A bit of googling and this question led me to try adding -mimplicit-it=thumb to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, but the compiler doesn't recognize it.
I am compiling on the tegra with kernal 3.10.40-grinch-21.3.4, and using gcc 4.8.4 compiler (thats what comes back when I type c++ -v)
I'm not sure what the initial error message means, though I think it has something to do with the TBB linked library rather than the source I'm compiling. The problem with the fix is also mysterious. Can anyone shed some light on this?
-mimplicit-it is an option to the assembler, not to the compiler. Thus, in the absence of specific assembler flags in your makefile (which you probably don't have, given that you don't appear to be using a separate assembler step), you'll need to use the -Wa option to the compiler to pass it through, i.e. -Wa,-mimplicit-it=thumb.
The source of the issue is almost certainly some inline assembly - possibly from a static inline in a header file if you're really only linking pre-built libraries - which contains conditionally-executed instructions (I'm going to guess its something like a cmpxchg implementation). Since your toolchain could well be configured to compile to the Thumb instruction set - which requires a preceding it (If-Then) instruction to set up conditional instructions - by default, another alternative might be to just compile with -marm (and/or remove -mthumb if appropriate) and sidestep the issue by not using Thumb at all.
Adding compiler option:
-wa
should solve the problem.
I am currently trying to use the ZXing Library for an iOS Project. However I can't even get the sample Projects to work.
The ScanTest Project, as well as the ones that I created myself throw the following error in the BinaryBitmap.cpp file.
In file included from /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Tim/Downloads/zxing-2.1/iphone/ZXingWidget/../../cpp/core/src/zxing/BinaryBitmap.cpp:20:

1 error generated.
I searched on Google and Stackoverflow, but have not found a solution for the problem.
I have tried it with both the current stable release of XCode and the beta.
I don't know if anybody else has got this problem too, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is clang, right? You can read about the relevant compiler options here.
The error message is telling you which compiler flags are relevant.
-Wunused-private-field means you get warnings about private member fields of classes (or structs, ...) that are not used anywhere. The warning is because you probably did mean to use them. This would not normally stop the compilation, but...
-Werror turns warnings into errors. A lot of people use this option to force themselves to write very clean code. Taking this one out should be enough.
I have been running into trouble recently trying to symbolicate a crash log of an iOS app. For some reason the UUID of the dSYM was not indexed in Spotlight. After some manual search and a healthy dose of command line incantations, I managed to symbolicate partially the crash log.
At first I thought the dSYM might be incomplete or something like that, but then I realized that the method calls missing were the ones occurring in C++ code: this project is an Objective-C app that calls into C++ libraries (via Objective-C++) which call back to Objective-C code (again, via Objective-C++ code). The calls that I'm missing are, specifically, the ones that happen in C++ land.
So, my question is: is there some way that the symbolication process can resolve the function calls of C++ code? Which special options do I need to set, if any?
One useful program that comes with the apple sdk is atos (address to symbol). Basically, here's what you want to do:
atos -o myExecutable -arch armv7 0x(address here)
It should print out the name of the symbol at that address.
I'm not well versed in Objective-C, but I'd make sure that the C++ code is being compiled with symbols. Particularly, did you make sure to include -rdynamic and/or -g when compiling the C++ code?
try
dwarfdump --lookup=0xYOUR_ADRESS YOUR_DSYM_FILE
you will have to look up each adress manually ( or write a script to do this ) but if the symbols are ok ( your dSym file is bigger than say 20MB) this will do the job .
I'm trying to build a simple unit test executable, using cpputest. I've built the cpputest framework into a static library, and am now trying to link that into an executable. However, I'm tied into a fairly complicated Makefile setup, because of the related code.
This is my command line:
/usr/bin/qcc -V4.2.4,gcc_ntoarmle_acpp-ne -lang-c++ -O2 -g -g -o Application/UnitTests/Tests/symbols/UnitTestExe -Wl,--start-group Application/UnitTests/Tests/../.objs/main.o Application/UnitTests/lib/libcpputest.a -Wl,--end-group -lm
I'm getting many errors like the following:
Application/UnitTests/lib/libcpputest.a(CommandLineTestRunner.o): In function `CommandLineTestRunner::parseArguments(TestPlugin*)':
Application/UnitTests/cpputest/src/CppUTest/.objs/../CommandLineTestRunner.cpp:114: undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned int, char const*, int)'
I can't figure out what's causing this. Don't I get operator new for free with C++?
You probably need to link with the C++ support runtime library. This happens automatically when you invoke g++. On Linux, this is achieved by adding the -lstdc++ flag to the linker. You have to figure out how to do the same on your platform.
Maybe you're calling gcc, the C compiler instead of g++, which is the C++ compiler.
There's very little information in your question to work from, but it looks like some code uses some form of placement new, and while that special operator new is declared (the compiler finds it and compiles the code using it), the linker can't find its definition.
(Since this old answer of mine seems to still get attention: See here for an extensive discussion on declaration vs. definition.)
You need to rebuild your code from scratch, including the library. I got this error because I inadvertently copied object files compiled on another machine (with the rest of the source) to my machine. Most likely this disturbs the linking step since there are now two types of object files, native (for modified source files) and non-native (all others). I am guessing here, but the operator 'new' means slightly different things on different architectures and that's why you are getting this error.
p.s. I know this is way too late for a useful answer but I'm still posting this for the record.
For QNX 6.5.0 I have specified flag -lang-c++ for qcc (gcc) to avoid the error.
Like the original post, in my case this error happened while trying to link a software using CppUTest framework.
In my case, the source of the problem seems to be related to the fact I disabled the MEMORY_LEAK_DETECTION compile option of CppUTest. I enabled it again, which solved the problem.
Sometimes adding -lstdc++ is not enough. You should add it to the right place. For example I had list like this, not working:
target_link_libraries(cfr2 pthread m stdc++ "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/compressor/libcompressor.a" )
But this one works fine:
target_link_libraries(cfr2 pthread m "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/compressor/libcompressor.a" stdc++)
It'd be great if someone explained it in the comment section.
Is there a way to find out what gcc flags a particular binary was compiled with?
A quick look at the GCC documentation doesn't turn anything up.
The Boost guys are some of the smartest C++ developers out there, and they resort to naming conventions because this is generally not possible any other way (the executable could have been created in any number of languages, by any number of compiler versions, after all).
(Added much later): Turns out GCC has this feature in 4.3 if asked for when you compile the code:
A new command-line switch -frecord-gcc-switches ... causes the command line that was used to invoke the compiler to be recorded into the object file that is being created. The exact format of this recording is target and binary file format dependent, but it usually takes the form of a note section containing ASCII text.
Experimental proof:
diciu$ gcc -O2 /tmp/tt.c -o /tmp/a.out.o2
diciu$ gcc -O3 /tmp/tt.c -o /tmp/a.out.o3
diciu$ diff /tmp/a.out.o3 /tmp/a.out.o2
diciu$
I take that as a no as the binaries are identical.
I'm the one who asked Brian to post this originally. My question had to do with the samba binary. I found out that you can run smb -b to get information on how it was built.
I don't think so.
You can see if it has debug symbols, which means -g was used ;) But I can't think of any way how you could find out which directories have been used to search for include headers for example.
Maybe a better answer is possible if you only target for a specific flag; e.g. if you only want to know if the flag "..." was set when this binary was compiled or not. In that case, what flag would this be?
