Building error 'undefined reference to..'

[agumon9]

Hi!

 

I am having a problem with not being able to build any code that contains any usage of SCV functions.

 

This is a simple code that I am trying to build and run:

#include <scv.h>

int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
// Int data type
int data = 100;
// Get the bitwidth of the data
int bitwidth = scv_get_extensions(data).get_bitwidth();
cout << "Width of data is "<< bitwidth << endl;
cout << "Value in data is ";
// Get the value in data and print to stdio
scv_get_extensions(data).print();
return 0;
}

but it has a ton of errors, mostly repeating themselves.

This is a first couple of them:

I am using Eclipse with Cygwin.

Hello,

 

the error lies probably in the order you pass the libraries systemc and scv to the compiler/linker. Instead of specifying first "-lsystemc" and then "-lscv":

 

g++ -L"C:/systemc-2.3.1/lib-cygwin" -o "proba.exe"  ./apb_transaction.o   -lsystemc -lscv

 

you should specify first "-lscv" and then "-lsystemc":

 

g++ -L"C:/systemc-2.3.1/lib-cygwin" -o "proba.exe"  ./apb_transaction.o   -lscv -lsystemc

 

The reason is that the SCV library references functions and datatypes of the SystemC library. Therefore, the linker has to resolve symbols of the SCV library and then resolve the remaining symbols to the SystemC library, which stem from your program and the SCV library.

 

Best regards,

Thank you so much! I have been struggling with this for a while! It makes sense but I didn't think of it. It works perfectly!

Hi: Related question, but a different platform.

On linux (x86_64):

1. I've built systemC-2.3.2 with CXXFLAGS=' -std=c++11 '
2. I've built scv_2.0.1 with CXXFLAGS=' -std=c++11  --with-systemc=${myPath}/build/systemc-2.3.2
3. I have main.cpp that compiles.

when I attempt to link: I get:

I can see the symbols defined in ../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libscv.so using the nm tool.

What am I missing....?

Thanks!

Hello @pmeyeratdatest,

This line indicates the different command line parameters for the creation of the object files.

17 hours ago, pmeyeratdatest said:

../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libscv.so: undefined reference to `sc_core::sc_api_version_2_3_2_cxx199711L<&sc_core::SC_DISABLE_VIRTUAL_BIND_UNDEFINED_>::sc_api_version_2_3_2_cxx199711L(sc_core::sc_writer_policy)'

Also, why are the library specified on the command line twice?(i.e. [-lscv and -lsystemc] and [../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libscv.a and ../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libsystemc.a]

Can try this command, and let us know if the message changes

g++-4.8  -g -Wall -ggdb -std=c++11 -O0  -D GCC48  -Wall     ./main.o -o testCMD -L../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64 ../../CPP-NumericalMethods/libNumericalMethods.a ../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libscv.a ../build/systemc-2.3.2/lib-linux64/libsystemc.a -lscv -lsystemc -lpthread -lm

Hope this helps.

I can get the same errors if I only run with the shared objects.  I have tried creating a static library only with the .a files, but this introduces more linking errors.

What I am wondering is:

Have I correctly built the respective systemC (2.3.2) and SCV (2.0.1) libraries?   (i.e. inclusion of std=c++11, optimizations, etc.)

Are there other compiler options I should be running with when building main and linking?  (-fPIC ???, etc).

Peter

[AmeyaVS]

Hello @pmeyeratdatest,

Can you specify the C++ Standard flag to the compilation command line parameters.

# E.g.:

g++ -std=c++11 <your_project_sources.cpp> -c <other_compiler_flags>

Since It does not have any effect at link time.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi:

 

The .configure files between systemC and scv behave very differently.  To get this to work, I had to do the following:

export CXX='g++ -std=c++11'
export CC='gcc -std=c++11'

 ./configure --libexecdir ${rootPath}/lib --with-systemc=${rootPath}/build/systemc-2.3.3
