__cxa_pure_virtual

[Sinisa Milivojevic]

Hi!

Sorry for bothering you.

Please CC: a reply to me as I am not a member of the list.

Is there a way of compiling a C++ file, which does not contain any
references to STL classes, so that resultant object file will have no
references to the above symbol, defined in pure.cc of libstdc++.

This is a problem in 3.0[1,2]

I have tried using gcc for CXX, setting -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions, but
still libstdc++ has to be linked in , due to the above symbol.

Any solution or work-around ??


Many thanks in advance.

Other than by providing definitions of all your abstract functions, no.

You can also link with libsupc++, which contains just the C++ runtime
support routines without the std lib stuff. Or you could define that
symbol explicitly to the linker
	--defsym __cxa_pure_virtual=0
(or, if invoked via gcc)
	-Wl,--defsym -Wl __cxa_pure_virtual=0

Thanks. Exactly what I needed. 

I guess I can find libsupc++ on ftp.gnu.org ???

I will try other recommandations too.

Thanks again.

It's part of GCC 3.0.  If you compiled a C++ compiler, then it should be
possible to only type

    g++ -o a.out ......  -lsupc++

while linking.

It's created as part of the libstdc++ built procedure.

Thank you, I found it out myself pretty fast !!

Small explanation.  We (from MySQL) do not like linking in any code
which has any form of C++ exceptions, as we found out too many
problems with our multi-threaded server on high load on many different
platforms. 

Therefore, I have resolved the above symbol in the manner suggested by
Nathan (thanks again). 

Then I had to resolve missing new / delete operators, which I did by
writting my own set of operators, without any use of exceptions or any
other symbol defined in libsupc++.

So far, all works just fine, thank you !!
