I have written a new LLVM optimization pass. I have added this pass by making a new directory at following location:
llvm/lib/Transform/AddSub
I am following the steps as mentioned in the llvm documentation:
http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html
But while compiling I am getting linking errors. May be my build and makefile settings are not correct.
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `_ZTVN12_GLOBAL__N_18AddSubE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
If I have written an independent llvm pass and added it in a new directory inside llvm at:
llvm/lib/Transform/
what Makefile or build changes do I need to make while writing an independent pass?
I ran into this same error when I was trying to follow the Writing An LLVM Pass guide. For me, the fix was adding a line like this:
char MyPassName::ID = 0;
(I had skipped over that step in the directions.)

I am trying to compile the boost log library and I keep getting this error from the dump_avx2.cpp file
error: always_inline function '_mm256_set1_epi32' requires target feature 'sse4.2', but would be inlined into function 'dump_data_avx2' that is compiled without support for 'sse4.2'
boost/boost/libs/log/src/dump_avx2.cpp:71:31: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_LOG_AUX_MM_CONSTANTS'
const __m256i mm_char_0 = _mm256_set1_epi32(0x30303030);\
^
I get a lot of errors that are very similar to the one above, all of them have the same error message but different locations in the file where they occur, for reference I am on the commit hash 68701167a1020b0b4c47b76e31d3a3da9e2faf3f for the Boost.Log submodule as fetched from the github repo (https://github.com/boostorg/boost)
Does anyone know how I can go about resolving this issue? I am building with a C++14 compiler and this is what I get when I type g++ --version
Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)
Thanks!
Note I should clarify that in this context it is required that I compile this library separately.
Note There seem to be two related source files dump_ssse3.cpp and the mentioned dump_avx2.cpp file, do I have to compile only one of them? I cannot make out what to do from the Jamfile in the build folder :(
That looks like a bug in clang (LLVM). First, the intrinsic belongs to AVX2, not SSE4.2. Second, the whole dump_avx2.cpp file is compiled with -mavx2, so the required extensions are enabled. You can see the compiler switches in the error message from b2. And no, both dump_ssse3.cpp and dump_avx2.cpp should be compiled. The library does runtime detection of the available instructions in the CPU and selects the proper implementation.
I'm trying to run the example "Scale_Space_Surface_Reconstruction_3" from CGAL library on CodeBlocks IDE on Ubuntu platform, as it would be nice
to have the IDE support for code completion and a more automatic configuration process.
I managed to successfully execute it by compiling it with cmake on the terminal window.
However, on CodeBlocks, after creating a new project and copying the code from the example, I get the following error:
/usr/local/include/CGAL/Scale_Space_Reconstruction_3/Scale_Space_Surface_Reconstruction_Impl_3.h:165:23: error: variable or field 'pca' declared void
Approximation pca( _nn[i]);
By looking inside the code, I found out that this is due to an undefined Macro CGAL_EIGEN3_ENABLED. As my experiment shows, if I define the macro at
pre-processing time, I do not get the same error. That is because, by defining the macro, the type definition Default::Get< wA,void>::type, becomes
Default::Get< wA, Weighted_PCA_approximation_3<Gt>>::type, and the compiler does not complain any more.
Unfortunately, as a deserved prize for messing with things I do not really understand, I get a segmentation fault at runtime.
How should I change the compiler options of codeBlocks to make the compilation succeed, and the executable run successfully?
I have the following include paths:
/usr/local/lib/CGAL/ /usr/local/include /usr/include /usr/include/eigen3.
I also included the following libraries:
libCGAL.so, libCGAL_Core.so, libCGAL_ImageIO.so, libgmp.so, libmpfr.so, libtbb.so, libtbbmalloc.so, libtbbmalloc_proxy.so
My problem is rather specific, but bear with me.
This in the end is kinda reverse engineering, but this problem in particular seems to fit more this board.
So, I have a shared object compiled for MIPS written in C++. I don't have the source code of the lib. The lib is compiled using GCC 4.3.3. I want to use functions present in this shared object in my amd64 computer running elementary OS. To do this, I used the sourcery cross compiler to cross compile some C++ code to MIPS, that would use this object.
So far I managed this except for this one compile error, which I cannot figure out. The lib is called libdvl.so, and uses as dependency libc.so.0 (and both are in the same folder as the cpp code).
mips-linux-gnu-g++ -g -L/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -o verifier verifier.cpp -ldvl
which gives me
(...)/mgc/embedded/codebench/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/4.9.1/../../../../mips-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.0, needed by /path/to/lib/libdvl.so, may conflict with libc.so.6

/path/to/lib/libc.so.0: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
So I added "-l:libc.so.0" and got this

(...)/mgc/embedded/codebench/bin/../mips-linux-gnu/libc/lib/libc.so.6: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Any idea how to solve this? I know I am using GCC 4.9.1, but I already downloaded the older code sourcery version which uses GCC 4.3.154 and got the exact same error.
EDIT 1: Exactly as Lol4t0 said, filtered using c++filt it gives an actual function name from stdc++. Using
mips-linux-gnu-g++ -g -L/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -I/path/to/lib -o verifier verifier.cpp -ldvl -l:libuClibc++.so.0 -l:libutil.so.0 -l:libc.so.0 -l:ld-uClibc.so.0 -nodefaultlibs
to give to libdvl its depencies (as I will not rewrite stdc++ :p), I get the following compile error:
(...)/mgc/embedded/codebench/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/4.9.1/../../../../mips-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/cc66DLda.o: undefined reference to symbol '_Unwind_Resume##GCC_3.0'
(...)/mgc/embedded/codebench/bin/../mips-linux-gnu/libc/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I already confirmed lib dependencies and the order in which they appear.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for all the help.
Using -nodefaultlibs solves the first problem though.
You are linking against GLIBC (libc.so.6) and some other libc (libc.so.0).
That could never work: you have to have everything compiled and linked against a single, consistent libc.
Since your libdvl.so uses as dependency libc.so.0, and assuming you can't rebuild libdvl.so, you have to use crosscompiler that targets libc.so.0 (which is possibly dietlibc, or uClibc), and compile and link everything else using that toolchain. Your crosscompiler on the other hand appears to target GLIBC, and will not do you any good.
After a lot of trial and error, you may be able to link the final binary using inconsistent builds, and your binary may even get to main (that is very unlikely). But chances of such binary actually working correctly are minuscule.
Today, When trying to build my so lib project with mongodb c++ client, I got the error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../libmongoclient.a(connection_factory.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `_ZTVN5mongo17AScopedConnectionE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../libmongoclient.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I googled -fPIC, but got nothing. Where can I find the doc about this? What's this? I am using clang++ for building.
PIC stands for Position Independent Code. Quoting from man gcc:
If supported for the target machine, emit position-independent code,
suitable for dynamic linking and avoiding any limit on the size of the
global offset table.
You compiled shared library without having relocatable code turned on at compile time. It is strongly suggested to use position independent code (PIC or PIE) when building shared libraries.
Please refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code for more details.
There is a bug in this system,you can not use .o or .a compiled intermediate file to generate dynamic lib(xx.so file),you may try to directly use the .cpp or .c file to generate a dynamic lib,also you may see this link to fix this bug (link site)
I have Core static library, a few Component static libraries that relays on the Core one, and then there is an App that links against both Core and Component libraries. My App can link both against Core and Component as long as Component don't uses classes from Core (App uses classes from Core).
I got the following error in both armv6 and armv7 versions. So my problem is not the very popular linking issue that everyone has.
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv6
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I added reference to Core in Component and even added it in "Link Binary With Libraries" which shouldn't be necessary for static lib.
Since I start having this issue I start doubting my design... It probably makes more sense in dynamically linking environment but still it should be doable in static one, especially since this already works under Windows with MSVC compilers.
Edit:
I made some progress! Although I still don't know where to go with it.
Here is my setup:
Core has a class cResourceManager that has a templated method GetResource<T>(int id)
Core also has class cResource
Component has class cMesh that inherits cResource
Here are some tests:
If I try from App to call rm->GetResource<cMesh>(...) I get the linking error
If I try from App to construct cMesh I get linking the linking error
If I try from App to call static method that will return new instance of cMesh I get the linking error
If I comment out the construction of cMesh but leave other member cMesh function calls the App links fine. I can even call delete mesh.
I have never seen anything like it!
If you remove the cMesh constructor, then you are then using the default (no argument, no body) cMesh constructor that is given to you. It almost sounds like there's a build error or missing code as a result of some code in your cMesh constructor and so the library isn't actually getting generated, and perhaps Xcode isn't reporting the error. Xcode is no good at reporting linker errors.
I would suggest looking at what symbols the linker says are missing and double-check that they are actually defined in your code. My guess is that you're using one of those symbols in your cMesh constructor. A lot of times with virtual base classes, you may forget to define and implement a method or two in a child class. Could be a result of missing a method based on your template, or your template isn't #included correctly. This could compile fine but result in linker errors like you're seeing.
If Xcode isn't showing you the full linker error, show the Log Navigator (Command ⌘+7), double-click the last "Build " entry, select the error, and then press the button on the far-right of the row that appears when selected. The symbols should be listed there. If not, it's time for xcodebuild in the Terminal.
If it's not that case, I'd be interested in seeing the results of whether or not the library is being built for the appropriate architecture, or maybe this can spur some progress:
In the Xcode Organizer Shift ⇧+Command ⌘+2, click Projects and find the path to the DerivedData for your project.
In the Terminal, navigate to that directory (cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/proj-<random value>/)
Remove (or move aside) the Build directory (rm -r Build)
In Xcode, try to build with the cMesh constructor present.
Find the Library product file (cd Build/Products/<scheme>-iphoneos)
Your compiled static libraries (<libname>.a) should be in this directory. If they're not there, they didn't build (unless you put your products elsewhere). If your libraries are there, let's confirm that they actually are getting built for the appropriate architecture. Run otool -vh <library>.a. You should see something like:
$ otool -vh libtesting.a
Archive : libtesting.a
libtesting.a(testing.o):
Mach header
magic cputype cpusubtype caps filetype ncmds sizeofcmds flags
MH_MAGIC ARM V7 0x00 OBJECT 3 1928 SUBSECTIONS_VIA_SYMBOLS
As you can see, my test library was built for ARMv7.
Make sure you are linking them in the correct order.
If Component depends on symbols in Core, then Component needs to be first in the link order, so the linker knows which symbols to look for in Core.
In MSVC the order doesn't matter, but in most other compiler suites it does.
I don't think Clang generates code for armv6, if you're targeting devices that old you still need to use GCC.
