Problem with LZO - c++

So I am trying to use LZO in my application. Here is how I have included it:
#include "lzoconf.h"
#include "lzodefs.h"
#include "lzo1x.h"
/* portability layer */
static const char *progname = NULL;
#define WANT_LZO_MALLOC 1
#define WANT_XMALLOC 1
#include "portab.h"
Then in the application I do:
if (lzo_init() != LZO_E_OK)
{
printf("internal error - lzo_init() failed !!!\n");
printf("(this usually indicates a compiler bug - try recompiling\nwithout optimizations, and enable '-DLZO_DEBUG' for diagnostics)\n");
return 4;
}
It compiles ok. No errors or warnings during compilation.
When I try to run my application though, there are two errors:
/home/richard/client/src/portab.h:145: undefined reference to `__lzo_align_gap'
Which points at this line in portab.h:
if (__lzo_align_gap(p, (lzo_uint) sizeof(lzo_align_t)) != 0)
{
printf("%s: C library problem: malloc() returned mis-aligned pointer!\n", progname);
exit(1);
}
return p;
And in my application:
/home/richard/client/src/main.cc:108: undefined reference to `__lzo_init_v2'
Which points to:
if (lzo_init() != LZO_E_OK)
{
printf("internal error - lzo_init() failed !!!\n");
printf("(this usually indicates a compiler bug - try recompiling\nwithout optimizations, and enable '-DLZO_DEBUG' for diagnostics)\n");
return 4;
}
I have all the header files inside my source directory:
config.h
lzo1x.h
lzoconf.h
lzodefs.h
miniacc.h
portab.h
portab_a.h
What am I doing wrong?
I am compiling my application in Ubuntu 10.10 in Anjuta ide.

Headers is not enough, you need to link to the libraries. Have you read the documentation?

Cannot write an array in a Ubuntu device using C++ (Debug Assertion Failed. Expression (stream !=NULL))

I am working on Windows and I am trying to write an array into a Ubuntu device using C++ in Visual Studio 2019. Here's a sample of my code:
int Run_WriteCalibTable(char *pcIPAddress, int iNumArgs, float *fArgs, int *iAnsSize, char *sAns)
...
...
...
char pcFolderName[256];
char pcFileName[256];
sprintf(pcFolderName, "%s\\%s",pcSavePath, pcUUTSerialNumber);
sprintf(pcFileName, "%s\\calib_rfclock.conf",pcFolderName);
// WRITE TABLE ON PC
FILE *pFileW;
pFileW = fopen(pcFileName,"wb");
fwrite(&CalibTable, sizeof(char), CalibTable.hdr.v1.u32Len, pFileW);
fclose(pFileW);
}
return 0;
However, I keep having this pop-up from Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library that says:
Debug Assertion Failed:
Program:...
File: f:\dd\vctools\crt_bld\sefl_x86\crt\src\fwrite.c
Line: 77
Expression: (stream != NULL)
...
I found this thread and I tried logging in as root on my Ubuntu device. I also tried:
mount -o remount,rw /path/to/parent/directory
chmod 777 /path/to/parent/directory
And I can also create/edit manualy any file in the directory I'm trying to write into with my code, but I get the same error when running it.
Anyone knows what could cause this? I think it could be on the Windows side, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks a lot in advance.
You never check that opening the file succeeds - and it most likely fails, which is why you get the debug pop-up. Your use of \ as directory delimiters may be the only reason why it fails, but you should check to be sure.
I suggest that you use std::filesystem::path (C++17) to build your paths. That makes it easy to create paths in a portable way. You could also make use of a C++ standard std::ofstream to create the file. That way you don't need to close it afterwards. It closes automatically when it goes out of scope.
Example:
#include <cerrno>
#include <cstring>
#include <filesystem>
#include <fstream>
int Run_WriteCalibTable(char *pcIPAddress, int iNumArgs, float *fArgs,
int *iAnsSize, char *sAns)
{
...
// Build std::filesystem::paths:
auto pcFolderName = std::filesystem::path(pcSavePath) / pcUUTSerialNumber;
auto pcFileName = pcFolderName / "calib_rfclock.conf";
// only try to write to the file if opening the file succeeds:
if(std::ofstream pFileW(pcFileName, std::ios::binary); pFileW) {
// Successfully opened the file, now write to it:
pFileW.write(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(&CalibTable),
CalibTable.hdr.v1.u32Len);
} else {
// Opening the file failed, print the reason:
std::cerr << pcFileName << ": " << std::strerror(errno) << std::endl;
}
...
}

C/C++ Threading in Linux (Raspbian) using VS2019 on Windows 10 -pthread - Can't compile

I'm trying to do my first bit of threading but no matter what I've tried I can't get this to compile.
I've gone back to trying to compile some demo code and I'm getting the same problem as in my program.
If I run a simple print hello world it compiles and deploys the program fine and I can simply navigate to and run it directly on the Pi4.
Threading demo code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
pthread_t tid[2];
void* doSomeThing(void* arg)
{
unsigned long i = 0;
pthread_t id = pthread_self();
if (pthread_equal(id, tid[0]))
{
printf("\n First thread processing\n");
}
else
{
printf("\n Second thread processing\n");
}
for (i = 0; i < (0xFFFFFFFF); i++);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
int i = 0;
int err;
while (i < 2)
{
err = pthread_create(&(tid[i]), NULL, &doSomeThing, NULL);
if (err != 0)
printf("\ncan't create thread :[%s]", strerror(err));
else
printf("\n Thread created successfully\n");
i++;
}
sleep(5);
return 0;
}
When I compile I get
Error /home/pi/projects/cpp_raspbian_thread_101/obj/x64/Debug/main.o: in function `main':
Error undefined reference to `pthread_create'
Error ld returned 1 exit status
To resolve this I've tried to add -pthread or -lpthread to
Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Command Line > Addiitional Options
That does nothing, I'm not really sure if this is the correct place to put this.
I'm building in VS2019 so I'm not building from the command line, I don't know where to add this argument.
I have also tried installing pthreads in NuGet but that doesn't help.
Other software like VSCode seem to have files that could add this to but I'm lost in VS2019
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT:
Thanks for responses
OK so as #Eljay suggested I'm trying to use std::thread (again) but have the same problem.
// thread example
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
void foo()
{
// do stuff...
}
int main()
{
std::thread first(foo);
return 0;
}

So I'm back to the pthread_create problem again
OK both code examples now compile and run.
As I originally thought, I needed to add -pthread somewhere in VS2019 and I was putting it in the wrong section.
Go to
Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Command Line
Add -pthread to Additional Options box and Apply.
I hope that saves someone else the 3 days it took me to sort it!

Undefined reference to 'getcwd' and 'mkdir' when building Google test project

even if I have been strictly following the tutorials from this post, I can't get my google test demo program to compile.
I'm using Eclipse on Windows 10 x64, and the ARM GCC embedded toolchain to compile my code, since I will eventually need to run unit tests on embedded devices.
My problem is that when I try to Build the project I get those errors :
c:/program files (x86)/gnu tools arm embedded/9 2019-q4-major/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/9.2.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: ./contrib/gtest/gtest-all.o: in function `testing::internal::FilePath::GetCurrentDir()':

C:\Users\Hugo\eclipse\eclipse-workspace\test_gtest\Debug/../contrib/gtest/gtest-all.cc:9823: undefined reference to `mkdir'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [makefile:61: test_gtest.elf] Error 1
It comes more precisely from those lines of code in the gtest_all.cc file:
For the undefined reference to 'getcwd'
FilePath FilePath::GetCurrentDir() {
#if GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_MOBILE || GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_PHONE || \
GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_RT || GTEST_OS_ESP8266 || GTEST_OS_ESP32
// These platforms do not have a current directory, so we just return
// something reasonable.
return FilePath(kCurrentDirectoryString);
#elif GTEST_OS_WINDOWS
char cwd[GTEST_PATH_MAX_ + 1] = { '\0' };
return FilePath(_getcwd(cwd, sizeof(cwd)) == nullptr ? "" : cwd);
#else
char cwd[GTEST_PATH_MAX_ + 1] = { '\0' };
char* result = getcwd(cwd, sizeof(cwd));
# if GTEST_OS_NACL
// getcwd will likely fail in NaCl due to the sandbox, so return something
// reasonable. The user may have provided a shim implementation for getcwd,
// however, so fallback only when failure is detected.
return FilePath(result == nullptr ? kCurrentDirectoryString : cwd);
# endif // GTEST_OS_NACL
return FilePath(result == nullptr ? "" : cwd);
#endif // GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_MOBILE
}
For the undefined reference to 'mkdir' :
bool FilePath::CreateFolder() const {
#if GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_MOBILE
FilePath removed_sep(this->RemoveTrailingPathSeparator());
LPCWSTR unicode = String::AnsiToUtf16(removed_sep.c_str());
int result = CreateDirectory(unicode, nullptr) ? 0 : -1;
delete [] unicode;
#elif GTEST_OS_WINDOWS
int result = _mkdir(pathname_.c_str());
#elif GTEST_OS_ESP8266
// do nothing
int result = 0;
#else
int result = mkdir(pathname_.c_str(), 0777);
#endif // GTEST_OS_WINDOWS_MOBILE
if (result == -1) {
return this->DirectoryExists(); // An error is OK if the directory exists.
}
return true; // No error.
}
I have checked that unistd.h was included. I've been searching a lot but can't seem to find any similar error as mine. The closest I could find has been solved by people using CMake to compile it, but I'm not using CMake at all here.
AFAIK, getcwd() and mkdir() is platform dependent.
It seem there have been similar issue with other library:
https://github.com/purduesigbots/pros/issues/176
As above link, you can try to define stub for missing symbols.
In my working platform, getcwd() and mkdir() even get removed from the header.
In such case, you can edit gtest directly, for example:
FilePath FilePath::GetCurrentDir() {
#if GTEST_OS_CUSTOM_PLATFORM
return kCurrentDirectoryString;

clang-tidy fails bugprone check

I'm experimenting with clang-tidy using the following file:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i=2; int j=1;
if (argc = 5) { return 2; }
while (i<argc) { j++; }
return 0;
}
I aim to detect the infinite loop with:
$ clang-tidy -checks=bugprone-infinite-loop main.c
but all that clang-tidy finds is the = instead of == thing:
Error while trying to load a compilation database:
Could not auto-detect compilation database for file "main.c"
No compilation database found in /home/oren or any parent directory
fixed-compilation-database: Error while opening fixed database: No such file or directory
json-compilation-database: Error while opening JSON database: No such file or directory
Running without flags.
1 warning generated.
/home/oren/main.c:6:11: warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [clang-diagnostic-parentheses]
if (argc = 5) { return 2; }
~~~~ ^ ~
( == )
/home/oren/main.c:6:11: note: place parentheses around the assignment to silence this warning
/home/oren/main.c:6:11: note: use '==' to turn this assignment into an equality comparison
You are using a feature from a yet unreleased version of LLVM (10.0.0).
On my system (windows) your file works as expected:
>clang-tidy10 -checks=bugprone-infinite-loop infloop.c --
1 warning generated.
\infloop.c:6:5: warning: this loop is infinite; none of its con
dition variables (i, argc) are updated in the loop body [bugprone-infinite-loop]
while (i<argc) { j++; }
^
The only modification I did on the file is removing the unecessary #include. I also added -- (double dash) to the command to get rid of missing compilation database errors. I am using a prebuilt binary from https://llvm.org/builds/
My best guess here is that you are using an older build of clang-tidy where this is not detected. For reference my version is 10.0.0-e20a1e486e1, you can see yours by running:
>clang-tidy --version
I'd also check if you are actually running the check(s) you are expected to run via:
$ clang-tidy -checks=bugprone-infinite-loop main.c --list-checks
P.S. The warning message you got at first was clang-diagnostic based, this has nothing to do with clang-tidy but rather with clang compilation

Success compiling but no display, setting bkcolor

#include <graphics.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT,gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\TURBOC3\\");
setbkcolor(CYAN);
getch();
closegraph();
}
The compiling was successful and tried running it, but the result was I see no display for my code It's just a blink of screen and gone back to the console.
you need to point initgraph to bgi subfolder of turboc3
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\TURBOC3\\BGI");
Yes your code may compile successfully but your code is having a runtime problem. Just add these line first below the line you initialized your graphics.
int errorcode = graphresult();
if (errorcode != grOk) { /* an error occurred */
printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
printf("Press any key to halt:");
getch();
exit(1); /* terminate with an error code(requires process.h) */
}
Through these lines runtime problems of graphics can be detected. Its just a safety method for avoid errors and system crash. Well these lines will tell you that they cannot find the file VGAEGA.bgi file. That's generally the default drivers of graphics.
The reason the file is not found is your path c:\\TURBOC3\\. see this post for avoiding the errors.
