I built a C++ static library using WatCom IDE. It compiles without error, but running WLIB on it produces the msg:
Warning! Library contains no external symbols My WatCom compiler host is windows, & target is DOS.
If I convert the Library to an .exe program, by adding a main(), it executes fine, So there seems to be something I'm missing in the IDE settings for building a .lib.
I am porting an application from Linux to Windows. Since it is a GTK app most of the stuff works; I have to touch a little here and there. One problem though I cannot find the solution as it seems. The application uses a plugin system for easy expandable functionality. The interface to the plugin is very simple: an init function, a worker function, and a deinit function. The plugins shall have access to the main applicationsymbols (functions global variables). I cannot find a working (and feasible) way under Windows to make the linking work. I always get "undefined reference" errors for symbols which exist in the application. I am using MinGW 4.6.2. I made a stripped down demo application to be able to better (and faster) test the principle. I am using the dlfcn-win32 project from Ramiro Polla [URL]... for the dynamic loading stuff and it works like a charm.
Here is the project:
plugintest.tar.gz
plugintest.zip
It tried a number of commandline options to the linker for the application (--export-all-symbols, --export-dynamic, -rdynamic (apparently not supported in MinGW)) as well as for the shared objects (--allow-shlib-undefined, --enable-auto-import, --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc).
As you can see in the provided makefile under Linux it is just "-shared" for the .so. Under Mac OS X (Darwin) it is "-bundle -bundle_loader <app name>".
Either it is a different configuration / environment or I must have overlooked something. How to do this and if it is even possible in Windows?
Here is a .zip archive of the dlfcn stuff with modified makefile, which works on the cmd.exe command prompt; MSYS is not required. Just adjust the MinGW installation path in config.mak and type 'make" and 'make install'. dlfcn-win32-r19.zip
I have a program where I want to export the .lib file in a "Lib" folder, and the .dll file in the "bin" folder. How can I choose where the lib file and .dll file go?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem is my edit distance values are stored in a 2d array of ints and exported to a .csv and the ones at the end are rather LARGE.
The the edit distance max should be around 2000 but i am getting values of 1-100million, the weird thing is that I have checked back through my function and tested various parts of it and still dont understand where it is going wrong i thought it could be my memcpy and memmove parts but i have had no luck.
I'm building a cross-platform library which links to some other 3rd party libraries at run time (i.e. on Windows, the other libs will be available as DLLs whereas on Linux / OS-X etc they'd be shared objects, which are similar). For the sake of argument, one of those libraries is called "jack".
Obviously, our app can't guarantee which version of the other libs will be on the user's system (or even that they'll be installed at all). So our code is littered with statements like this:-
Code:
if (!jack_port_type_get_buffer_size) {
warning << _("This version of JACK is old - you should upgrade to a newer version") << endmsg;
} else {
some_var = jack_port_type_get_buffer_size();
}
We link to the latest version of jack, where that symbol is declared like so:-
Code:
size_t jack_port_type_get_buffer_size();
One problem is that it doesn't even seem to be an exported symbol (although that wouldn't affect the other platform builds). But apart from that, our customer might have an old copy of jack installed or even no copy! We seem to be making the assumption that if our customer has an up-to-date version, jack_port_type_get_buffer_size will be set to a valid address - but in all other case it'll be magically set to zero (there's nothing in our code that sets it to zero).
I've been reading about libraries; How to make them, how to use them, the different types of libraries, etc..
When using a shared library, does the program require that library to be installed on the computer after the program has been compiled into an .exe?
Ie.. if somebody downloaded a "Helloworld.exe" that I had compiled on my computer using a shared library (that wasn't part of a standard operating system), would they also need that shared library on their computer for the program to run without errors?
and for Static Libraries, when I compile a program using a static library, does it include in the final binary only the functions of the library that are actually used, or does the compiler add in the entire library?
I'm using Code Blocks but for some reason it doesn't process alt symbols. You know... alt symbols are like this: ☺♫↓☻♪♥↕. Code Blocks says that they're "invalid characters". Is there any attatchments or mods so Code Blocks can process them or will changing the settings?

It seems that it's just missing a space (and therefore a setw and setfill), but I found 2 problems:
1. The space needs to not apply to the first line.
2. I can't get it to make a space before each row without making a space between each column.
My current code is:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
int rows;
[Code] ....
I have tried putting in << setws and << setfills of various values but it seems to always apply to between each column as well as at the start of each row- what do I do?
I need a function to check if the inputted string contains a colon. It has to be in an if loop as the condition.

I'm working on a program in C++ that is supposed to read in a file, store the content of the file into a 2D array, assign characters to each of the numbers in the array and store in a char array, and print both of these arrays. It's then supposed to go through the initial array and make sure that each number doesn't differ in value from it's neighboring numbers by more than 1, correct these errors by replacing these numbers with the value of the average of their neighbors, assign characters to this corrected array as it did before, and print both arrays.
The character assignments go as follows:
0=blank
1=.
2=,
3=_
4=!
5=+
6=*
7=#
8=$
9=&
I have the code written that opens the file and loads the array, but where to go from there. To me the obvious, although probably not best, way to do the assignments is to go through the array with a for loop and use a series of if statements to check for the value of the number at each index and assign the appropriate symbol.
Here is the code I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int size = 100, i, j;
prog >> size;
int **numArray = new int* [size];
[code].....
The breakpoints I am setting are not caught by the IDE. Any how I can recover that.
I used to know I can delete the sdf file and rebuild. Just to make sure...
So I need to make a program that prints a triangle of symbols in a certain direction.

How to do that. It's rare that I post without figuring anything out, but I'm just simply not sure. I have a program that prints a triangle in a similar direction, so maybe if I could get some hints as to what to do with that (HINTS, not direct source code) .
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {

Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>
int main() {
char pin [] = {1,2,3,4};
printf("%s",pin);
getchar();
}
the above code displays random symbols as opposed to 1234
for example having input "12345556asf87" we get "123456asf". I need to do this task with getchar and putchar, and the with strings. My programs aren't working
stream:
char c = 0, c_ = 0;
char flag = 0;

I need to find 2 similar words in one sentence and i need to find how much symbols are between these two words. I can't figure out the algorithm.
For example sentence would be-
This is nice table and nice chair.
Similar words are- nice
Symbols between them are 11 or 8(dont know if space is count as symbol)
int main()
char text[200],*dist;
printf("Enter one sentence
");
gets(text);
Maybe first of all would be
dist=strtok(text, " ,.!?");
while(dist!=0)
{
printf("%s
", dist);
dist=strtok(NULL, " ,.!?");
}
and it wil output each word and maybe then can search for similar words if there would be 2 strings then i would use strstr but i dont know how to do with one string.
I'm building two DLLs - let's call them DLL_A and DLL_B. DLL_A builds as a standalone entity but DLL_B needs to link to the lib file for DLL_A (i.e. it imports some functionality from DLL_A). While linking DLL_B I see lots of errors taking the following form (bear in mind that port.cpp and port.h are source files in DLL_B:-
DLL_A.lib(DLL_A.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: bool __this call

already defined in port.obj
I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly but to me, it seems to be saying that some STL components are somehow getting exported from DLL_A (std::vector maybe?? Or std::string??) and that they conflict with similar objects already in port.obj. Sure enough, when I used dumpbin /EXPORTS on DLL_A there did seem to be some evidence that that was true. So my next step was to examine the source code for port.obj. Of course, strictly speaking I should be examining some code from DLL_A but it has hundreds of source modules so I figured that I should start by identifying whatever it is in DLL_B that's throwing up the conflict (since I at least know which module the conflict is in!).
When I examined the source files for port.obj, std::string seems to get used quite often - but fortunately I could only find one occurrence of std::vector.
In port.h it occurs here:-
Code:
class DLL_B_API Port : public boost::noncopyable {
public:
// c'tors + d'tors
int get_connections (std::vector<std::string> &) const;
// rest of class
In port.cpp it occurs here:-
Code:
int Port::get_connections (std::vector<std::string> & c) const {
if (!port_engine.available()) {
c.insert (c.end(), _connections.begin(), _connections.end());
return c.size();
}
return port_engine.get_connections (_port_handle, c);
}
Is there anything in there that would be causing the above linker error? It's entirely possible that I'm looking in the wrong place but I suppose I've got to start somewhere....
I just found a possible clue in one of the header files for DLL_A, where I found this class declaration:-
Code:
namespace PBD {
class DLL_A_API Searchpath : public std::vector<std::string> {
// Whatever...
};
}
Might that be causing std::vector<std::string> to get exported?
