Not works compilation c++ 4.7.2 in Debian testing x64 - c++

I'm trying to do a manual compilation with g++ in debian testing x64bits,
The content of my file test.cpp is:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hola Mundo" << endl;
return 0;
}
but when I run the command, for example to compile a simple hello word
g++ test.cpp -o test
When I run the command ls:
test.cpp
g++ generates nothing. Is rare.
Basically happens with any program I try to compile with c++.

kernel: 3.9-1-amd64
Datas about g++( run the command g++ -v):

How to fix my trouble?
Thank you.

Have you tried to add the compiler-commands for more detailed info?
-Wall -g
Maybe it works if you hit that ?
g++ -o test test.cpp

How can I enable -ffast-math with pragma in a bit old g++?

For some reason, I want to enable "-ffast-math" via pragma in g++.
But currently it doesn't work.
It seems #pragma GCC optimize("fast-math") is eventually ignored although g++ recognizes it at least during parsing this pragma sentence.
Here is a snippet I used for checking this issue(borrowed from here):
#pragma GCC optimize("fast-math")
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int main() {
double d = 1.0;
double max = std::numeric_limits<double>::max();
d /= max;
d *= max;
std::cout << d << std::endl;
return 0;
}
When I compiled this putting -ffast-math explicitly, this program outputs 0:
$ g++ poc.cpp -ffast-math -Wall
$ ./a.out
0
On the other hand, when I didn't put this flag, it shows 1 though I wrote the pragma sentence at least:
$ g++ poc.cpp -Wall
$ ./a.out
1
Since I confirmed other optimizations such as #pragma GCC optimize("O3") work fine(I checked with objdump), I think somehow g++ ignores only fast-math.
Does anyone know the reason or have a workaround for this?
Here is the information of g++ in my environment:
g++ -v

Why can the same code be compiled successfully through gcc while not g++?

The following test.c can be compiled successfully by using gcc compiler:
$ cat test.c
#include <complex.h>
int main(void) {
double complex a = 0;
return 0;
}
$ gcc -o test1 test.c
$
While after changing the name to test.cpp, and compile it with g++ compiler, there is an error:
$ cat test.cpp
#include <complex.h>
int main(void) {
double complex a = 0;
return 0;
}
$ g++ -o test2 test.cpp
test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:4:20: error: expected initializer before ‘a’
double complex a = 0;

The basic reason is that C and C++ support complex numbers in fundamentally different ways, which are code incompatible. So C code which uses complex variables, and operations on them, cannot be used in any version of C++, and vice versa.
In C++ (all versions) complex arithmetic is supported by a templated class named complex, which is defined in header <complex>, and is in namespace std. Since it is a C++ (templated) class in namespace std, which C does not support at all, this type and the C++ header <complex> cannot be used in C.
Standard C, before 1999, did not support complex variables or arithmetic. In C (since 1999), complex arithmetic is supported using a _Complex keyword, and a convenience macro complex (#defined in <complex.h>) which uses it. C++ does not support the _Complex keyword or <complex.h>.
$ cat test.cpp
#include <complex>
int main(void) {
std::complex<double> a = 0;
return 0;
}
In C++, complex is a template, here is the reference std::complex.

For C Complex type: How to work with complex numbers in C?
The Complex.h works differently in C and C++

access the string in one function with operator[] affects the output of the other function in C++

when compile the above function, it will print nothing. While if we comment out "char tmp = num[0]", it will print "===test==="
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void eval(string num)
{
char tmp = num[0];
}
int main()
{
int i;
cout<<"===test==="<<endl;
return 0;
}

But no such problem in my Ubuntu 14.04.
Could anyone give me an explanation? Really weird. Thanks.
===Updates:
and why I got -2 points for this question?
===Updates2:===
problem solved. We have to install all the related components (gcc-core, g++, libgcc, libsupc, libstdc++ ....) of 5.2.0 version
The problem is something I've seen before. You will find you have a warning about entry point. The linker defaults to the first function as the entry point if it can't determine it. Also, note that moving main() to the first function doesn't fix the problem as the entry point is called with different arguments and a different calling convention.
I'm not sure what you did wrong but it would help if you posted your compilation command.
g++ -o test.exe test.cpp
is the correct command to compile it; note that we must invoke it as ./test due to cygwin (current directory is not in PATH by default).

How to link gfortran when I compile?

I use ubuntu 12.04, my Makefile FC:gfortran, but I couldn't compile,
I checked on it, it installed(my gcc upgraded from 4.6.3 to 4.7)
How do I link to it?
I tried pkg-config --cflags --lib gfortran or gtkxxx, it says not in the pkg_config_path
I checked gfortran: COLLECT_GCC=gfortran

You don't need pkg-config to use gfortran; you just need to compile and link with the gfortran executable (and you can also use gfortran to link C code with Fortran code, and you could probably link using gcc with -lgfortran)
BTW, pkg-config accepts the --list-all option; with the command
pkg-config --list-all |grep -i gtk
you can understand that GTK is in fact gtk+-x11-3.0
You should also read the documentation of GFORTRAN; it has a chapter about mixed-language-programming
Of course you need to install the gfortran, gfortran-4.7 and libgfortran-4.7-dev packages

gdb error message: DW_OP_reg, DW_OP_piece, and DW_OP_bit_piece

I'm debugging somebody else's Qt program and ran into the following error message which I don't understand:
DWARF-2 expression error: DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in
conjuction with DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece.
I'm not sure what that means and Google isn't of much help.
Here's the context - sLocation is a QString that was declared a few lines earlier. However, it was created from functions which were inlined, so I'm not sure of its value and am attempting to check before being appended to:
(gdb) printqstring suffix
(QString)0xffffbd80: "sorted"
(gdb) next
1241 sLocation += suffix;
(gdb) printqstring sLocation
Can't take address of "sLocation" which isn't an lvalue.
(gdb) info local
sLocation = <error reading variable sLocation (DWARF-2 expression error:
DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in conjuction with
DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece.)>
Could somebody please explain what that error message means or what could cause it?
The error message means that GDB is reading DWARF2 debug info from the executable, and is rejecting that info as invalid (not following the DWARF2 standard).
The invalid info is likely due to a bug in GCC, fixed in SVN revision 147187:
2009-05-06 Jakub Jelinek <jakub#redhat.com>
* dwarf2out.c (new_reg_loc_descr): Don't ever create DW_OP_regX.
(one_reg_loc_descriptor): Create DW_OP_regX here instead of calling
new_reg_loc_descr.
(loc_by_reference): If loc is DW_OP_regX, change it into DW_OP_bregX 0
instead of appending DW_OP_deref*.
