Linking issue

Hi,

I built xerces-c and xalan-c using aCC compiler successfully.

Now I am trying to build my application which links against these two libraries using aCC. However I am getting the following linker error.

I am not sure why this is coming since I am used aCC to compile both the libraries and my application. And only xalan-c seems to give this linking error. Can somebody please suggest what could be the problem.

Where is this function and this constructor suppose to be defined?  Which object and shlib?

Leave this off "-L/usr/lib", it will be added by default.

Re: Unsats during link

Thanks Dennis for your response.

I did some more analysis. First to answer your question these two are part of xalanc library. I can see a file DOMStringHelper.hpp which has the following code:

XALAN_PLATFORMSUPPORT_EXPORT_FUNCTION(void)
OutputString(
#if defined(XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE)
            ostream&                theStream,
#else
            std::ostream&           theStream,
#endif
            const XalanDOMChar*     theString,
            MemoryManager&          theMemoryManager);

And XSLTResultTarget.hpp,

#if defined(XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE)
    typedef ostream         StreamType;
#else
    typedef std::ostream    StreamType;
#endif

    XSLTResultTarget(StreamType*    theStream,
                    MemoryManager& theManager XALAN_DEFAULT_CONSTRUCTOR_MEMMGR);

Further, I checked that during xalan-c build it executes aCC something like:

aCC +O2 -DNDEBUG     +Z -DHPUX -D_THREAD_SAFE +W849,930 -mt  -Wc,-koenig_lookup,on -Wc,-ansi_for_scope,on -DXALAN_INMEM_MSG_LOADER

In other words, -AA parameter is not being used (which we are using in the build of our product). I presume when aCC is executed without -AA command line argument, it sets XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE and that is causing problems, since now I am compiling with -AA and it is picking different signature of function and constructor than what is in the xalan-c library.

At this point I am not sure what to do about this. Any suggestions? Porting either is not an option at this stage, since it would involve big efforts. Any workaround?

Further while doing a searcb from strings command output I can see the following:

$strings libxalan-c.sl.111.0 libxalanMsg.sl.111.0 | egrep 'xalanc_1_11.*OutputString'
$ strings libxalan-c.sl.111.0 libxalanMsg.sl.111.0 | egrep 'xalanc_1_11.*XSLTResultTarget.*XSLTResultTarget'

I am not sure what I can deduce from above since there is no matching string for OutputString search.

 

To give background, same code compiles on Linux/AIX/Solaris where xalan-c is built using g++. On HP-UX we earlier were using xalan-c built on a machine which was version 11.00 using gcc-3.4.6, and it was working fine. We explicitly ported Makefile to work with g++ since xalan-c by default supports aCC build only on HP-UX.

Now we have moved to HP-UX 11.23 build machine and there xalan-c build is failing with the ported Makefile and giving core during build, really not sure why. The compiler on this machine is gcc-4.5.4. This is what happens:

../../../bin/MsgCreator

When I run it from command line by setting SHLIB_PATH I get rid of Unresolved symbol issue from xerces library (which is a prerequisite for xalan-c), but I still get a core dump, so can't really proceed with the xalan-c build:

SHLIB_PATH=/home/tuser/build/3rdParty/HP-UX/lib

Sorry if I have confused you guys. Just wanted to find your opinion as to how to proceed.

Re: Unsats during link

>I can see a file DOMStringHelper.hpp which has the following code:

 

You need to mention you're using aCC3 for PA-RISC.

You need to find a .cpp that contains the definition, unless it is inline.

Is there a DOMStringHelper.cpp and XSLTResultTarget.cpp?

 

>I presume when aCC is executed without -AA command line argument, it sets XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE

 

You'll need to check your code to see if it does that.

 

>since now I am compiling with -AA and it is picking different signature of function and constructor than what is in the xalan-c library.

 

Yes, the mangled symbol will be different.

 

>Porting either is not an option at this stage, since it would involve big efforts.

 

You can't mix an application using -AA with one using -AP.

 

>while doing a search from strings command output I can see the following:

$ strings libxalan-c.sl.111.0 libxalanMsg.sl.111.0 | egrep 'xalanc_1_11.*OutputString'
$ strings libxalan-c.sl.111.0 libxalanMsg.sl.111.0 | egrep 'xalanc_1_11.*XSLTResultTarget.*XSLTResultTarget'

 

The proper command is "nm -pxAN objects... | c++filt -o"

Have you used gdb to figure out why you are getting signal 6?

Re: Unsats during link

Thanks Dennis. I should have mentioned the compiler version.

I did some further analysis and found that it was indeed the case that not using -AA with aCC would cause the XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE to be defined and it was the cause behind all the problems. So I tried my luck and built both xerces and xalan with -AA against the default of it being otherwise, and with a few changes that I had to do in the code, now everything works. Thanks again for your help.
