I am new to Julia and have been trying to use ccall to call C functions in
embedded mode but i am unable to even successfully run the example
embedding.c that is in package. The example file define a
function my_c_sqrt and then tries to call it using jl_eval_string("println(
ccall( :my_c_sqrt, Float64, (Float64,), 2.0 ) )");. This doesnt work and if
i trace the issue by printing errors i get ErrorException("ccall: could not
find function my_c_sqrt").
I have tried checking eveything. nm on the executble gives this.
nm ../usr/bin/embedding | grep my
0000000000601d80 t __frame_dummy_init_array_entry
0000000000400f60 t frame_dummy
0000000000400f90 t my_c_sqrt
so the symbol is available.
I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 7.0 (Maipo) nd
hve compiled julia Version 0.4.6 from scratch.
any help would be really appreciated
