C++ shared library undefined reference - c++

Question

i'm having something like these files:
libfoo.h
class foo
{
public:
foo() = default;
virtual ~foo();
};
libfoo.cpp
#include "libfoo.h"
foo::~foo() { /* code here */ }
test.cpp
#include <libfoo.h>
int main()
{
foo f;
}
i compile libfoo.h and libfoo.cpp into a shared library and all that is fine.
but when i then try to use the library in test.cpp i get undefined reference to the destructor ~foo().
this error however does not occur if i define the destructor directly in libfoo.h. i have this problem with all functions defined outside the class in my library so im guessing it has something to do with the compilation process (it compiles fine however)
i compile the library like this:
g++ -std=c++0x -Wall -Werror -fPIC -c -o libfoo.o libfoo.cpp
g++ -shared libfoo.o -o libfoo.so
any ideas as to what i might be doing wrong?
(all the functions that i declare inclass, like template functions works fine and causes no undefined reference)

Answer 1

I tried to reproduce the error, but I failed.
I created the files (with slight modifications):
// libfoo.h
struct foo { virtual ~foo(); };
// libfoo.cpp
#include "libfoo.h"
foo::~foo() {}
// test.cpp
#include "libfoo.h"
int main() { foo f; }
Built like this:
$ g++ -std=c++0x -Wall -Werror -fPIC -c -o libfoo.o libfoo.cpp
$ g++ -shared libfoo.o -o libfoo.so
$ g++ test.cpp -L. -lfoo
And ran like this:
$ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./a.out
I got no errors. Are you sure there is a problem with your code?
