Libc++ linked programs fail with symbol lookup error - c++

I've recently built libc++ from scratch as my prject needs some features that are not yet implemnted in libstdc++.
I try to compile the hello world program located in src/main.cpp with line
clang -Wall -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 -c src/main.cpp -obuild/main.o
and the build suceeds
Then I link it with
clang -lc++ build/main.o -o qasix
and the linking suceeds too.
But when I run the program with
./qasix
I get the following error:
./qasix: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libc++.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE
I would like to know why this is occurring and also how to fix it.
I am on Xubuntu 13.10 if that's of any help.
PS: This problem popped up yesterday. Earlier other libc++ programs would compile fine.
This started when I did a debug build of a program with the -g flag and it compiled and ran fine, but all later programs complained about this symbol lookup failure. Please help.

it appears that you need the support library "libc++abi". It provides things like low-level exception support, type_info support, etc.
For Ubuntu (as opposed to Xubuntu), it appears that you can get it here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/saucy/universe/base/libc++abi-dev

Clang compiler couldn't find C/C++ standard libraries when I gave a specific target although it works without giving target

I am currently using clang11 on ubuntu to compile any c/c++ code and it works fine but when I tried to compile any code (including any standard library) to assembly code for any specific target like x86_64 (even I have x86_64) riscv with giving a flag that --target=x86_64 or --target=riscv32 I got errors for any standard library that I included in my code. A simple example:
// ex.cpp
#include<iostream>
int main(){
int a = 5;
int b = 3;
std::cout << a - b;
}
Without giving flag for a spesific target works fine:
clang++-11 -S ex.cpp -o ex.s
With --target=riscv32 flag:
clang++-11 --target=riscv32 -S ex.cpp -o ex.s
gives this error:
ex.cpp:1:9: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
also without standard libraries gives no error even I give a spesific target.
I am searching for a solution for days but I couldn't find any proper solution for this problem, most of them says try to include gnu libraries and subfolders like -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/ but it doesn't work for me.
Please don't say use g++ compiler, for adding an optimization I need clang.
Actually I am trying to compile my codes for riscv target, linking with g++ and running with spike (doesn't differ --target=... or -target ...):
clang++-11 -target riscv32-unknown-elf -march=rv32gc -fno-addrsig -S ex.cpp -o ex.s
~/riscv/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-g++ ex.s -o ex
~/riscv/riscv-isa-sim/build/spike --isa=RV32GC ~/riscv/riscv-pk/build/pk ex
And it works fine without include a standard library.
Now, I want to ask that
Can I solve this problem simply?
or
Can I use clang directly from riscv bin utils like ~/riscv/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-clang++ (I saw something like this on the net but couldn't find) adding and building a submodule to my riscv directory?
Edit: As #NateEldredge said, for x86_64 target triple should --target=x86_64-linux-gnu but for riscv as a target triple riscv32-unknown-elf I still have the same errors. Is there a proper target flag for riscv any other than --target=riscv32-unknown-elf? Maybe I am missing that point.
I solved my problem by linking compilations with riscv-gnu-toolchain built and also answered a similar question here in detailed: Using Clang to compile for RISC-V
Simply we need cross-compilation.

Cannot find -lubsan on using -fsanitize=undefined (mingw-w64)

I'm using mingw-w64 (gcc 7.3.0) and when I compile any C++ program using the following command:
g++ file.cpp -fsanitize=undefined
I get the following error:
...mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lubsan
I'm able to successfully compile and run my programs if I remove the -fsanitize=undefined flag, though. After some research I found out that this means the library ubsan (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer) is missing, but I couldn't find anything about the library. How do I fix this?
This is well known issue with mingw see for instance this msys github issue. No proper solution known but there are several WAs.
Install WSL, ubuntu over WSL and you will have ubsan inside it
Build GCC under Windows from source enabling sanitizers build. They are present in GCC sources they are just not here in mingw.
Use -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error to just not use libubsan rich logging capabilities but get it trap on undefined instruction.
Hope one of this helps.

c++ SDL2 - ld||cannot find -lmingw32|

I was creating program on windows with SDL2 and the program worked fine, but when I changed my os to linux mint (and install code::blocks, gcc, g++, SDL2), I run into troubles with compiling my code.
I have one error:
- ld||cannot find -lmingw32|
I guess that I don't have mingw32 library, where can I get it? Or is the problem diferent?
BTW: I also tryed to google it.
Thank for response.
Read the manual.
On linux you don't need -lmingw32. Instead, use
`sdl2-config --libs`
to get the list of all needed linker flags.
Example usage:
gcc -o myprogram myprogram.o `sdl2-config --libs`
Problem was solved by removing linker on mingw32 and lib rotozoom.h.

Static linking to libcrypto++, with g++

I am trying to compile a program on my system with Debian Wheezy and g++4.7. I want it to be able to run on another system with Debian Squeeze (and no recent g++). I can't compile the program on the Squeeze, because I use certain C++11 features the old g++ does not support, as well as a new Boost version and libcrypto++9.
As far as I understand the usual way to get around this problem is to static link the libraries not supported at the other system, in my case libstdc, boost and crypto++.
My (linking) compiler call right now is
g++-4.7 .obj/btcmirco.o -Wl,-Bstatic -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -lcrypto++ -Wl,-Bdynamic -lcurl -static-libgcc -std=c++11 -o MyProgram
However I seem to have missed something, because it throws a lot of undefined reference errors. It works fine if I dynamic link to crypto++ (and only static link libstdc and boost).
Can anyone tell me whats wrong, or if there is a fundamental error in my approach?
The linker errors I get are (shorted):
`.text._ZN8CryptoPP22BufferedTransformationD2Ev' referenced in section `.text._ZN8CryptoPP22BufferedTransformationD1Ev[_ZN8CryptoPP22BufferedTransformationD1Ev]' of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libcrypto++.a(cryptlib.o): defined in discarded section `.text._ZN8CryptoPP22BufferedTransformationD2Ev[_ZN8CryptoPP22BufferedTransformationD5Ev]' of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libcrypto++.a(cryptlib.o)
`.text._ZN8CryptoPP25MessageAuthenticationCodeD2Ev' referenced in section `.text._ZN8CryptoPP25MessageAuthenticationCodeD1Ev[_ZN8CryptoPP25MessageAuthenticationCodeD1Ev]' of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libcrypto++.a(cryptlib.o): defined in discarded section `.text._ZN8CryptoPP25MessageAuthenticationCodeD2Ev[_ZN8CryptoPP25MessageAuthenticationCodeD5Ev]' of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libcrypto++.a(cryptlib.o)
I experienced the same problem and this has to do with the fact that you are trying to mix code generated by g++-4.7 (your program) with code generated by a previous version of g++ (cryptopp library).
The reason behind this is that when you execute compile the library executing make command, it uses the default version of g++ set up for your system, usually the one that comes with the OS.
In order to solve the issue what you should do is compile cryptopp library with g++-4.7.
For that, compile the library by executing make CXX=g++-4.7. The resulting static library shouldn't give you the error when being linked with your code.

Boost.MPI on Ubuntu 12.04

Background
Hi All,
I'm trying to use Boost::MPI, at the moment I'm just trying to run the simple first example from the tutorial. I am having trouble building/running it.
I installed boost using apt-get and installed boost_mpi & boost_serialization (1.48.0) using synaptic package manager. I installed MPICH2 using apt-get.
Even though OpenMPI was never explicitly installed it appears to be on my system, I assume this is a dependency for Boost::MPI but it appears MPICH2 and OpenMPI are treading on each other's toes.
Info
If I build using
g++ test.cpp -I/usr/include/mpich2 -L/usr/lib -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
then run using
mpiexec -n 2 ./a.out
It throws a bunch of errors which seem to come from OpenMPI. If I try and build by linking against the OpenMPI library using
g++ test.cpp -L/usr/lib -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization -lmpi -I/usr/include/openmpi
I get the following errors:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccJ5ezv7.o: undefined reference to symbol 'ompi_op_set_cxx_callback'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'ompi_op_set_cxx_callback' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libmpi.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libmpi.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
If I try building using mpic++ with the following command
mpic++ test.cpp -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
It will not link returning a bunch of errors of the form
/usr/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trid'
so I tried linking against libmpi i.e.
mpic++ test.cpp -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization -lmpi
This builds but on running with mpiexec yields the following errors
Fatal error in PMPI_Errhandler_set: Invalid communicator, error stack:
PMPI_Errhandler_set(118): MPI_Errhandler_set(comm=0x370500, errh=0x370be0) failed
PMPI_Errhandler_set(70).: Invalid communicator
Question
It seems to me that somehow OpenMPI and MPICH2 are getting intertwined where there really shouldn't. Does anybody know how I can build against only OpenMPI or MPICH2 then run using the correct mpiexec?
Mixing code compiled against different MPI libraries is not supported in general. If your Boost::MPI is linked against Open MPI, then you must use Open MPI for the rest of your application.
To get the mpic++ as well as the other compiler wrappers and all the header files you should install the -dev package for Open MPI. If the library has been installed as a dependency then only the run-time part will be there.
