VLA parameters not accepted by g++?

0 votes
380 views

Reading the gcc 5.1 manual it seems that VLA parameters must be accepted by g++. For example the following is fine when compiled with gcc --std=gnu11

float sum (int M, float x[M]) {
 return x[0] + x[1];
}

int main (void) {
 float xs[2] = {1, 2};
 float acc = sum (2, xs);
 return 0;
}

But it is rejected by g++ --std=gnu++11. Is this possible at all with g++?

No, I don't think so, G++ only supports some kinds of VLA.

You have to use float x[] or float* x in C++.

Template meta programming code compiles on MSVC but not on G++

This code compiles on MSVC but not on G++ :

template
class B
{
public:
 static void SomeMethod()
 {
 A::SomeMethod();
 }
};

class A
{
public:
 static void SomeMethod();
};

void test()
{
 B::SomeMethod();
}

The error with g++ is :

test.cpp: In static member function "static void B::SomeMethod()":
test.cpp:7:3: error: "A" has not been declared

Is there is a option to indicate to g++ to evaluate the template functions only when a specialization is called, and not before ?

g++ fails with error

I have a c++ shared object that I am compiling using the following command.
g++ -g -Wall -c -o cpplib.o cpplib.cpp

And I am creating the shared object using the following command.
g++ -shared -o libcpplib.so cpplib.o

(I am aware that I can do this one single command, these are two separate invocations because I had the project setup on eclipse and that's how eclipse cdt does it.).

My host runs a RedHat 6.x x86_64 OS.

The compilation fails with the following error.

$ g++ -g -Wall -fPIC -c -o cpplib.o cpplib.cpp
$ g++ -shared -fPIC -o libcpplib.so cpplib.o
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/libstdc++.a(ios_init.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `pthread_cancel' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/libstdc++.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am certain that I haven't used the 'pthread_cancel' function in my code. Please help me.

G++ refuses to template class code, ms compiler is happy

I'm not a c++/template guru and i can't decide if this is really a valid code or i have encountered a gcc bug:

template  struct A {
 void *p;
};
template  struct B : A {
 void *foo() { return p; }
};

g++ says "error: 'p' was not declared in this scope". microsoft's compiler is happy with the same code.

Can anyone help?

How to disable GCC optimization

GCC is stripping the object file when nothing from the file is being used anywhere in the executable (even -o0 does nor help). We have to disable this feature of linker g++. could any one please help us to resolve this issue??

Linking multiple languages

If I compile c++ code, I am supposed to use g++. This automatically does some magic that calling just Gcc would not do. The same with Fortran code and gfortran. So my question is which frontend should I use to link if I have object files from both c++ as well as Fortran, c, and maybe another language still?
