c++ vector.push_back error: request for member 'push_back'..., which is of non-class type 'vector(char, allocator(char)) ()()'

I'm using Cygwin with GCC, and ultimately I want to read in a file of characters into a vector of characters, and using this code #include <fstream> #include <vector> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; int main (int argc, char *argv[] ) { vector<char> string1(); string1.push_back('a'); return 0; } generates this c...

C99 strict aliasing rules in C++ (GCC)

As far as I understand, GCC supports all of its C99 features in C++. But how is C99 strict aliasing handled in C++ code? I know that casting with C casts between unrelated types is not strict-aliasing-safe and may generate incorrect code, but what about C++? Since strict aliasing is not part of C++ standard (is that correct?), GCC must ...

Why doesn't GCC produce a warning when assigning a signed literal to an unsigned type?

Several questions on this website reveal pitfalls when mixing signed and unsigned types and most compilers seem to do a good job about generating warnings of this type. However, GCC doesn't seem to care when assigning a signed constant to an unsigned type! Consider the following program: /* foo.c */ #include <stdio.h> int main(void) {...

Building Android NDK Toolchain for x86 Android on Windows via Cygwin

The Android SDK includes the Android NDK, which in turn contains a customised GCC based tool chain for Android on ARM processors; The question is how to build the NDK tool chain to run on Windows to target x86 Android? The tool chain is already setup to build on Windows (cygwin) targeting ARM; There are also existing pre-built (unoffici...

Installing PIL on Cygwin

I've been struggling all morning to get PIL installed on Cygwin. The errors I get are not consistent with common errors I find using Google. Perhaps a linux guru can see an obvious problem in this output: $ python setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_ext building '_imaging' extension gcc -fno-str...

How does GCC compile applications that reference a static library

I've read that the gcc compiler can perform certain optimization when compiling an application that references a static library, for instance - it will "pull" in only that code from the static library that the application depends upon. This helps keep the size of the application's executable to a minimum if portions of the static library...

Foo f = Foo(); // no matching function for call to 'Foo::Foo(Foo)' ... huh?!

class Foo { public: explicit Foo() {} explicit Foo(Foo&) {} }; Foo d = Foo(); error: no matching function for call to 'Foo::Foo(Foo)' I tried changing Foo(Foo&) to Foo(Foo) as the error suggests, which AFAIK is not a valid constructor, and sure enough I get: error: invalid constructor; you probably meant ‘Foo (const F...

compiling a c++ program including mysql

I'm new to gcc, and trying to compile a c++ program which includes mysql.h using the command: g++ -o test test.cpp -L/usr/include/mysql -lmysqlclient -I/usr/include/mysql It works without issue, but I was wondering if someone could explain the arguments to me. I don't like using commands I don't understand. Thanks ...

Compiling a program with a legacy version of gcc

This is probably a very difficult problem to troubleshoot with the information I can practically provide, but I'm hoping someone might be able to at least point me in a possible direction. I'm trying to install HTK (http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/), which, according to this page needs to be installed using gcc 3.4. Their method of implementin...

How to catch unintentional function interpositioning?

Reading through my book Expert C Programming, I came across the chapter on function interpositioning and how it can lead to some serious hard to find bugs if done unintentionally. The example given in the book is the following: my_source.c mktemp() { ... } main() { mktemp(); getwd(); } libc mktemp(){ ... } getwd(){ ...; mktemp...

function argument in register

Is there a way to disable passing function arguments in registers using gcc 3.3.1 for ARM? ...

are runtime linking library globals shared among plugins loaded with dlopen?

I've a C++ program that links at runtime with, lets say, mylib.so. then, the same program uses dlopen()/dlsym() to load a function from myplugin.so, dynamic library that in turn has dependencies to mylib.so. My question is: will the program AND the function in the plugin access the same globals defined in mydlib.so in the same memory ar...

2-byte (UCS-2) wide strings under GCC

Hi all, when porting my Visual C++ project to GCC, I found out that the wchar_t datatype is 4-byte UTF-32 by default. I could override that with a compiler option, but then the whole wcs* (wcslen, wcscmp, etc.) part of RTL is rendered unusable, since it assumes 4-byte wide strings. For now, I've reimplemented 5-6 of these functions fro...

Doubt regarding executable files in linux

I have a program written in C, which is named computeWeight.c and to compile it i use the following code chaitu@ubuntu:~$ gcc -Wall -o computeWeight computeWeight.c //to execute it: chaitu@ubuntu:~$ ./computeWeight Do i have any mechansim where i can directly use as mentioned below, chaitu@ubuntu:~$ computeWeight Should i be changi...

gcc does not resolve extern global variables, with or without -c option

Hello everyone! So i have this issue : i am declaring some extern global variables in my C program. If I don't use the -c option for gcc, i get undefined references errors. But with that -c option, the linking is not done, which means that i don't have an executable generated. So how do I solve this? Here is my makefile (written thanks...

What exactly does GCC -fobjc-direct-dispatch option do?

The GCC manual says: -fobjc-direct-dispatch Allow fast jumps to the message dispatcher. On Darwin this is accomplished via the comm page. Can I assume this flag eliminates dynamic dispatch? How does it work? I believe it should be as fast as a C function call if it is linked directly. ...

Undefined reference to "func" when compiled with GCC

I implement a link list in two files in linklist.h and linklist.c, and I call some functions defined in linklist.h in main function of main.c. linklist.h is included in both linklist.c and main.c. When I compile this program by GCC with Makefile, the error named "undefined reference to xxx" occurs. I think my Makefile is written correctl...
