Package: libstdc++-4.8-dev Version: 4.8.2-15 Severity: important File: libstdc++ Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, -static-libstdc++ does not seem to be working anymore. Consider this following test application: --------------------- #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { std::string s; if (s.empty()) { std::cout << "String is empty!" << std::endl; } return(0); } --------------------- g++ -Wall -o test test.cpp -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ "test" here should not contain any references to libstdc++ symbols as it is being linked statically, however, "objdump -T test" contains the following: 00000000006915c0 u DO .bss 0000000000000020 Base _ZNSbIwSt11char_traitsIwESaIwEE4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE 0000000000691600 u DO .bss 0000000000000020 Base _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE These are both symbols from libstdc++ that should have been staticaly linked, yet they are now undefined, and indeed, this binary will not run on a system without a sufficiently up to date libstdc++ installed. The same problem occurs with: clang++ -Wall -o test test.cpp -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ So the problem seems to be more of an interaction with libstdc++ and the linker than the compiler in question. An older Debian setup I have back when GCC 4.6 was current does not exhibit the problem here. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (800, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11.6-x86_64-linode35 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libstdc++-4.8-dev:amd64 depends on: ii gcc-4.8-base 4.8.2-15 ii libc6-dev 2.17-97 ii libgcc-4.8-dev 4.8.2-15 ii libstdc++6 4.8.2-15 libstdc++-4.8-dev:amd64 recommends no packages.
