Hi, The following piece of code, gives "undefined references" to __real_malloc, __real_free, etc.:
// references.cc #include <cstdlib> void func(int& x) { x = 0; } int main() { int* p = NULL; func(*p); } Compiled with: g++ -fmudflap references.cc -lmudflap /lib64/libmudflap.a(mf-runtime.o): In function `__mfu_check': ../libmudflap/mf-runtime.c:912: undefined reference to `__real_malloc' ../libmudflap/mf-runtime.c:1028: undefined reference to `__real_free' ../lib64/libmudflap.a(mf-runtime.o): In function `__mf_insert_new_object': ../libmudflap/mf-runtime.c:1074: undefined reference to `__real_calloc' ../lib64/libmudflap.a(mf-runtime.o): In function `__mfu_unregister': ../libmudflap/mf-runtime.c:1430: undefined reference to `__real_free' ../libmudflap/mf-runtime.c:1433: undefined reference to `__real_free' etc. My system is Debain 6.0, here is how gcc-4.7.2 was configured: Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/home/bdsatish/foss/installed/gcc --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --disable-multiarch --enable-checking=runtime --enable-libmudflap --enable-libgomp --disable-bootstrap --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-decimal-float --with-system-zlib --disable-libitm --disable-build-poststage1-with-cxx --disable-build-with-cxx --without-cloog --without-ppl --disable-nls --enable-threads --enable-__cxa_atexit Thread model: posix gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) I think this is a bug or regression, I asked in freenode#gcc and hence reporting here instead of gcc-help. Thanks for the understanding. Regards, Satish
