I'm having difficulties linking templated functions with multiple
pointer arguments with extern(C++).
a.cpp
-----
template<typename T> void func1(T *b){}
template void func1<int>(int *b);
template<typename T> void func2(const T *a){}
template void func2<int>(const int *a);
template<typename T> void func3(T *b, const T *a){}
template void func3<int>(int *b, const int *a);
template<typename T> void func4(const T *a, T *b){}
template void func4<int>(const int *a, int *b);
void func5(int *b, const int *a){}
void func6(const int *a, int *b){};
-----
main.d
-----
extern (C++)
{
void func1(T)(T *b);
void func2(T)(const T *a);
void func3(T)(T *b, const T *a);
void func4(T)(const T *a, T *b);
void func5(int *b, const int *a);
void func6(const int *a, int *b);
}
void main()
{
int i = 4;
int *pi = &i;
func1(pi);
func2(&i);
func3(pi, &i);
func4(&i, pi);
func5(pi, &i);
func6(&i, pi);
}
-----
Building with:
g++ -c a.cpp
dmd main.d a.o
Throws the error:
/usr/bin/ld: main.o: in function `_Dmain':
main.d:(.text._Dmain[_Dmain]+0x31): undefined reference to `void
func3<int>(int*, int*)'
/usr/bin/ld: main.d:(.text._Dmain[_Dmain]+0x3e): undefined
reference to `void func4<int>(int const*, int const)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: linker exited with status 1
When I inspect the object files, I see the following:
a.o
-----
void func1<int>(int*)
void func2<int>(int const*)
void func3<int>(int*, int const*)
void func4<int>(int const*, int*)
func5(int*, int const*)
func6(int const*, int*)
-----
main.o
-----
void func1<int>(int*)
void func2<int>(int const*)
void func3<int>(int*, int*)
void func4<int>(int const*, int const)
func5(int*, int const*)
func6(int const*, int*)
-----
It appears that func3 and func4 take on different types depending
on other variables being present? Is this expected? Why do they
differ from the non-templated functions func5 and func6
respectively? How should I achieve this instead?
