| Summary | 0000275: hidden symbol pthread_atfork | ||||||||
| Description | On Ubuntu 12.04 (at least) the linker spits out an error message when you try to build most programs in a parallel grade, e.g. hlc.par.gc. /usr/bin/ld: test: hidden symbol `pthread_atfork' in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a(pthread_atfork.oS) is referenced by DSO The solution appears to be to pass -pthread at the link step, either in addition to or replacing -lpthread. Actually we should probably pass -pthread for compilation steps as well. | ||||||||

You should only pass -pthread for C compilers that actually support that option. The (Mercury) compiler should have enough version information about the C compiler available in order to determine this. |

I'm thinking we just need to update configure.ac near line 2962 for $host = *linux*. The compilers in use there seem to all support -pthread (gcc, clang, icc, does lcc even work?). |

Older versions of gcc (e.g. 4.2 etc) only seem to support it for things like IA64, PowerPC and SPARC. (Presumably, it has no effect on other things?) So, it should be ok to enable it for all versions of GCC. It should be ok to always enable it for clang. AFAIK, we don't support icc. If some uses lcc and it doesn't work then we'll do something about that. (Otherwise, I don't care about it for the time being.) Yes, you need to pass -pthread for all compilation steps since on some platforms it apparently affects the preprocessor as well. |
