Subject: Problem linking with publib library and g++
I have a linking problem when I try to include functions from the
publib library in a C++ program. This worked before I upgraded
to the new releases (see below).
An easy example:
#include <publib.h>
main()
{
char *x = "This is a string with spaces ";
char y[256];
strcpy(y, x);
strtrim(y);
strmtrim(y);
printf ("%s-\n%s-\n", x, y);
}
When I try to compile this as C++:
linda:~/cprogs$ g++ main.c -lpub
/tmp/cca132571.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cca132571.o(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `strtrim(char *)'
/tmp/cca132571.o(.text+0x3a): undefined reference to `strmtrim(char *)'
but as C, it's fine:
linda:~/cprogs$ gcc main.c -lpub
linda:~/cprogs$
I can't work out what has changed and why this no longer works.
System: Pentium Pro
Kernel: 2.0.30
Debian: 1.3 from unstable
gcc: 2.7.2.2-4
binutils: 2.8.1-1
publib-dev: 0.26-1
libc6: 2.0.3-4

Even if I include the library directly on the command line, it doesn't
work:
linda:~/cprogs$ g++ main.c /usr/lib/libpub.a
/tmp/cca122331.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cca122331.o(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `strtrim(char *)'
/tmp/cca122331.o(.text+0x3a): undefined reference to `strmtrim(char *)'
but again, gcc finds it:
linda:~/cprogs$ gcc main.c /usr/lib/libpub.a
linda:~/cprogs$
so it must be something different about the ways that gcc and g++ expect
to find things in libraries???
Since the original message, I have tried loading the source of publib
and recompiling it; this made no difference (there was no reason why
it should, but I'm clutching at straws now...)
