Exceptions across shared libraries (gcc 3.3.3)

Hi,
I am facing a weird issue:
We are using a shared library (libcarob) that can throw exceptions.
Everything goes well under most platforms, but under suse (SLES 9, gcc
3.3.3), we get a segfault anytime we try to throw an exception out of
carob.
The weird thing is that when linking statically carob to the libstdc++,

the problem disappears. Google showed nothing convincing, so I try
other
channels...
If anyone has a clue for it, g++ flags or whatever, I am ready to try
the hell to fix this
Thanks,
Gilles.

You'll want to post in a group for g++ and/or your troublesome
platform. Standard C++ knows nothing of static vs. dynamic linking, so
that is off-topic here

I realize this is the php group, but I have a question that recurses back to my php install. My objective is a pure 64 bit shared object installation of php 5.0 on UltraSparc Solaris 9 compiled with the Sun Compiler version 8. My problem is that EVERYTHING builds great EXCEPT that the 6b distribution of JPEG will NOT build a shared object, thus gd cannot include support for JPEG, thus php loses that functionality.

I have been researching how exceptions and dynamic_cast work to determine if I will use either feature for a game-console application. I have a few pre-concieved notions and questions that I was hoping some people here could validate/answer. PRECONCEIVED NOTION #1: Common implementations of dynamic_cast<> (VC++, GCC) rely on the presence of type_info objects. The use of strcmp() instead of type_info pointer-equivalence in common...

Hi, We have an application framework library that gets statically linked to any applications we produce. (Windows apps, but I don't think that matters here). The framework is based heavily on the STL and the API uses many STL constructs. Because of the static linking, and the fact that both app and framework are built by the same compiler, we don't have any problems.

It's my hope to ask some specific questions with scenario examples and that some of you might offer a little guidance or general suggestions. 1) string...

First of all, sorry for duplicating this post. I put it up in the alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ mistakenly. I'm investigating a problem whereby exceptions thrown from functions in a Shared Library which was dynamically loaded (dlopen) are not properly caught by the caller. Specifically, when compiling with G++ version 4.0, the RTTI data associated with the exception types is not being properly aligned between the Shared Library and its...

HI I am new to SWIG & Python and right now i am in the process of wrapping some "C" functionalities present in a static library for python. I do have my C file "name.c" which just contains some helper functions. I tried to link my object files (e.g name.o & name_wrap.o) with the static libraries (whose functionalities need to be wrapped) to form a shared library that can be imported from Python. While doing so i cannot be able to access...

Hi I hope you'll see this cross-post (c/c++) as appropriate. I also admit immediately that the question *may* turn out to be compiler-/os-specific, in which case I apologize. But I wonder if there's an underlying truth. We are writing a (cross-platform) 'framework' application (in C++, as it happens) that allows users to author 'plugins' (as shared library modules). Since the lifetime of plugins is expected to be long, and the

I'm working with a group that's been doing C++ coding for quite a long time, now, and in that environment we've pretty much worked out development practices that serve us well. We've been doing more and more, over the last few years, in C# and ASP.NET. Some web apps, some background services. In our C++ code base, we have a fair number of statically-linked libraries that contain code we share between projects. At this point, in our...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
