GCC (GNU project C and C++ compiler)

When you invoke GCC, it normally does preprocessing, compilation, assembly and linking. The “overall options” allow you to stop this process at an intermediate stage. For example, the -c option says not to run the linker. Then the output consists of object files output by the assembler.

Other options are passed on to one stage of processing. Some options control the preprocessor and others the compiler itself. Yet other options control the assembler and linker; most of these are not documented here, since you rarely need to use any of them.

Most of the command-line options that you can use with GCC are useful for C programs; when an option is only useful with another language (usually C++), the explanation says so explicitly. If the description for a particular option does not mention a source language, you can use that option with all supported languages.

The gcc program accepts options and file names as operands. Many options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter options may not be grouped: -dv is very different from -d -v.

You can mix options and other arguments. For the most part, the order you use doesn’t matter. Order does matter when you use several options of the same kind; for example, if you specify -L more than once, the directories are searched in the order specified. Also, the placement of the -l option is significant.

Many options have long names starting with -f or with -W---for example, -fmove-loop-invariants, -Wformat and so on. Most of these have both positive and negative forms; the negative form of -ffoo is -fno-foo. This manual documents only one of these two forms, whichever one is not the default.

C++ Standards Support in GCC

GCC supports different dialects of C++, corresponding to the multiple published ISO standards. Which standard it implements can be selected using the -std= command-line option.

CentOS

Often people want the most recent version of gcc, and devtoolset is being kept up-to-date, so maybe you want devtoolset-N where N={4,5,6,7...}, check yum for the latest available on your system. Updated the cmds below for N=7.

Developer Toolset 6

devtoolset-6 - Developer Toolset is designed for developers working on CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform. It provides current versions of the GNU Compiler Collection, GNU Debugger, and other development, debugging, and performance monitoring tools.

# 1. Install a package with repository for your system:
# On CentOS, install package centos-release-scl available in CentOS repository:
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl

# 2. Install the collection:
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-6

# 3. Start using software collections:
$ scl enable devtoolset-6 bash

At this point you should be able to use gcc and other tools just as a normal application. See examples bellow:

$ gcc hello.c
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-6-valgrind
$ valgrind ./a.out
$ gdb ./a.out

In order to view the individual components included in this collection, including additional development tools, you can run:

$ sudo yum list devtoolset-6\*

Developer Toolset Software Collections as Docker Formatted Containers

On CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 you can pull the images with the following commands:

$ docker pull registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/devtoolset-6-perftools-rhel7
$ docker pull registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/devtoolset-6-toolchain-rhel7
$ docker pull centos/devtoolset-6-perftools-centos7
$ docker pull centos/devtoolset-6-toolchain-centos7

For more on the docker images follow the link to public source repository: https://github.com/sclorg/devtoolset-container

设置使用gcc7的步骤：

注意： When I open a new terminal, it is still v4.8.5. You need to scl enable devtoolset-7 bash every time you open a new shell, or add it to your *rc.

# enable gcc7

sudo yum install centos-release-scl
sudo yum install devtoolset-7-gcc*

# sudo yum list devtoolset-7\*

Basic

gcc的基本用法

使用gcc编译器时，必须给出一系列必要的调用参数和文件名称。不同参数的先后顺序对执行结果没有影响，只有在使用同类参数时的先后顺序才需要考虑。如果使用了多个 -L 的参数来定义库目录，gcc会根据多个 -L 参数的先后顺序来执行相应的库目录。因为很多gcc参数都由多个字母组成，所以gcc参数不支持单字母的组合，Linux中常被叫短参数（short options），如 -dr 与 -d -r 的含义不一样。gcc编译器的调用参数大约有100多个，其中多数参数我们可能根本就用不到，这里只介绍其中最基本、最常用的参数。

gcc最基本的用法是：gcc [options] [filenames]

其中，options就是编译器所需要的参数，filenames给出相关的文件名称，最常用的有以下参数：

  • -c

只编译，不链接成为可执行文件。编译器只是由输入的 .c 等源代码文件生成 .o 为后缀的目标文件，通常用于编译不包含主程序的子程序文件。

  • -o output_filename 

确定输出文件的名称为output_filename。同时这个名称不能和源文件同名。如果不给出这个选项，gcc就给出默认的可执行文件 a.out。

  • -g

产生符号调试工具（GNU的 gdb）所必要的符号信息。想要对源代码进行调试，就必须加入这个选项。

  • -O

对程序进行优化编译、链接。采用这个选项，整个源代码会在编译、链接过程中进行优化处理，这样产生的可执行文件的执行效率可以提高，但是编译、链接的速度就相应地要慢一些，而且对执行文件的调试会产生一定的影响，造成一些执行效果与对应源文件代码不一致等一些令人“困惑”的情况。因此，一般在编译输出软件发行版时使用此选项。

  • -O2

比 -O 更好的优化编译、链接。当然整个编译链接过程会更慢。

  • -Idirname

将 dirname 所指出的目录加入到程序头文件目录列表中，是在预编译过程中使用的参数。

说明：C程序中的头文件包含两种情况：

#include <stdio.h>
#include "stdio.h"

其中，使用尖括号（<>），预处理程序 cpp 在系统默认包含文件目录（如/usr/include）中搜索相应的文件；使用双引号，预处理程序 cpp 首先在当前目录中搜寻头文件，如果没有找到，就到指定的 dirname 目录中去寻找。在程序设计中，如果需要的这种包含文件分别分布在不同的目录中，就需要逐个使用 -I 选项给出搜索路径。

  • -Ldirname

将dirname所指出的目录加入到程序函数库文件的目录列表中，是在链接过程中使用的参数。在默认状态下，链接程序 ld 在系统默认路径中（如 /usr/lib）寻找所需要的库文件。这个选项告诉链接程序，首先到 -L 指定的目录中去寻找，然后到系统默认路径中寻找；如果函数库存放在多个目录下，就需要依次使用这个选项，给出相应的存放目录。

  • -lname

链接时装载名为 libname.a 的函数库。该函数库位于系统默认的目录或者由 -L 选项确定的目录下。例如，-lm 表示链接名为 libm.a 的数学函数库。

例子：假定有一个程序名为 test.c 的C语言源代码文件，要生成一个可执行文件。

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello world/n");
    return 0;
}

最简单的办法：gcc test.c -o test

首先，gcc需要调用预处理程序 cpp，由它负责展开在源文件中定义的宏，并向其中插入#include语句所包含的内容；接着，gcc调用 ccl 和 as，将处理后的源代码编译成目标代码；最后，gcc调用链接程序 ld，把生成的目标代码链接成一个可执行程序。因此，默认情况下，预编译、编译链接一次完成。

编译过程的分步执行：

为了更好地理解gcc的工作过程，我们可以让在gcc工作的4个阶段中的任何一个阶段中停止下来。相关的参数有：

  • -E

预编译后停下来，生成后缀为 .i 的预编译文件。

  • -c

编译后停下来，生成后缀为 .o 的目标文件。

  • -S

汇编后停下来，生成后缀为 .s 的汇编源文件。

第一步：进行预编译，使用 -E 参数

gcc -E test.c -o test.i

查看 test.i 文件中的内容，会发现 stdio.h 的内容确实都插到文件里去了，而其他应当被预处理的宏定义也都做了相应的处理。

第二步：将 test.i 编译为目标代码，使用 -c 参数

gcc -c test.c -o test.o

第三步：生成汇编源文件

gcc -S test.c -o test.s

第四步：将生成的目标文件链接成可执行文件

gcc test.o - o test

对于稍微复杂的情况，比如有多个源代码文件、需要链接库或有其他比较特别的要求，就要给定适当的调用选项参数。

例子：整个源代码程序由两个文件 testmain.c 和 testsub.c 组成，程序中使用了系统提供的数学库（所有与浮点相关的数学运算都必须使用数学库）。

gcc testmain.c testsub.c -lm -o test

其中，-lm 表示链接系统的数学库 libm.a 。

说明：在编译一个包含许多源文件的工程时，若只用一条gcc命令来完成编译是非常浪费时间的。假如项目中有100个源文件需要编译，并且每个源文件中都包含一万行代码，如果像上面那样仅用一条gcc命令来完成编译工作，那么gcc需要将每个源文件都重新编译一遍，然后再全部链接起来。很显然，这样浪费的时间相当多，尤其是当用户只是修改了其中某个文件的时候，完全没有必要将每个文件都重新编译一遍，因为很多已经生成的目标文件是不会发生改变的。要解决这个问题，需要借助像make这样的工具。

警告提示功能选项

gcc包含完整的出错检查和警告提示功能，它们可以帮助Linux程序员写出更加专业的代码。

  • -pedantic 选项

当gcc在编译不符合ANSI/ISO C 语言标准的源代码时，将产生相应的警告信息。

#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
    long long int var = 1;
    printf("It is not standard C code!/n");
}

它有以下问题：

  1. main 函数的返回值被声明为 void，但实际上应该是 int。
  2. 使用了 GNU 语法扩展，即使用 long long 来声明64位整数，不符合 ANSI/ISO C 语言标准。
  3. main 函数在终止前没有调用 return 语句。
  • -Wall 选项

除了 -pedantic 之外，gcc 还有一些其他编译选项，也能够产生有用的警告信息。这些选项大多以 -W 开头。其中最有价值的当数 -Wall 了，使用它能够使 gcc 产生尽可能多的警告信息。

gcc 给出的警告信息虽然从严格意义上说不能算作错误，但却和可能成为错误来源。一个优秀的程序员应该尽量避免产生警告信息，使自己的代码始终保持简洁、优美和健壮的特性。

建议：gcc 给出的警告信息是很有价值的，它们不仅可以帮助程序员写出更加健壮的程序，而且还是跟踪和调试程序的有力工具。建议在用 gcc 编译源代码时始终带上 -Wall 选项，并把它逐渐培养成一种习惯，这对找出常见的隐式编程错误很有帮助。

  • -Werror 选项

在处理警告方面，另一个常用的编译选项是 -Werror。它要求 gcc 将所有的警告当成错误进行处理，这在使用自动编译工具（如 Make 等）时非常有用。如果编译时带上 -Werror 选项，那么 gcc 会在所有产生警告的地方停止编译，迫使程序员对自己的代码进行修改。只有当相应的警告信息消除时，才可能将编译过程继续朝前推进。

  • -Wcast-align 选项

当源程序中地址不需要对齐的指针指向一个地址需要对齐的变量地址时，则产生一个警告。例如，char * 指向一个 int * 地址，而通常在机器中 int 变量类型是需要地址能被2或4整除的对齐地址。

  • 其他常用选项
    • -v      输出 gcc 工作的详细过程
    • --target-help       显示目前所用的gcc支持CPU类型
    • -Q                  显示编译过程的统计数据和每一个函数名

库操作选项

在Linux下开发软件时，完全不使用第三方函数库的情况是比较少见的，通常来讲都需要借助一个或多个函数库的支持才能够完成相应的功能。从程序员的角度看，函数库实际上就是一些头文件（.h）和库文件（.so 或 .a）的集合。虽然Linux下的大多数函数都默认将头文件放到 /usr/include/ 目录下，而库文件则放到 /usr/lib/ 目录下，但并不是所有的情况都是这样。正因如此，gcc 在编译时必须有自己的办法来查找所需要的头文件和库文件。常用的方法有：

  • -I

可以向 gcc 的头文件搜索路径中添加新的目录。

  • -L

如果使用了不在标准位置的库文件，那么可以通过 -L 选项向 gcc 的库文件搜索路径中添加新的目录。

  • -l

Linux下的库文件在命名时有一个约定，就是应该以 lib 这3个字母开头，由于所有的库文件都遵循了同样的规范，因此在用 -l 选项指定链接的库文件名时可以省去 lib 这3个字母。例如，gcc 在对 -lfoo 进行处理时，会自动去链接名为 libfoo.so 的文件。

  • -static

Linux下的库文件分为两大类，分别是：动态链接库（通常以 .so 结尾）和静态链接库（通常以 .a 结尾）。两者的差别仅在程序执行时所需的代码是在运行时动态加载的，还是在编译时静态加载的。默认情况下，gcc 在链接时优先使用动态链接库，只有当动态链接库不存在时才考虑使用静态链接库。如果需要的话，可以在编译时加上 -static 选项，强制使用静态链接库。

  • -shared

生成一个共享的目标文件，它能够与其他的目标一起链接生成一个可执行的文件。

调试选项

对于Linux程序员来讲，gdb（GNU Debugger）通过与 gcc 的配合使用，为基于Linux的软件开发提供了一个完善的调试环境。常用的有：

  • -g 和 -ggdb

默认情况下，gcc 在编译时不会将调试符号插入到生成的二进制代码中，因为这样会增加可执行文件的大小。如果需要在编译时生成调试符号信息，可以使用 gcc 的 -g 或 -ggdb 选项。

gcc 在产生调试符号时，同样采用了分级的思路，开发人员可以通过在 -g 选项后附加数字1、2、3指定在代码中加入调试信息的多少。默认的级别是2（-g2），此时产生的调试信息包括：扩展的符号表、行号、局部或外部变量信息。级别3（-g3）包含级别2中的所有调试信息以及源代码中定义的宏。级别1（-g1）不包含局部变量和与行号有关的调试信息，因此只能够用于回溯跟踪和堆栈转储。

回溯追踪：指的是监视程序在运行过程中函数调用历史。

堆栈转储：则是一种以原始的十六进制格式保存程序执行环境的方法。

注意：使用任何一个调试选项都会使最终生成的二进制文件的大小急剧增加，同时增加程序在执行时的开销，因此，调试选项通常仅在软件的开发和调试阶段使用。

  • -p 和 -pg

会将剖析（Profiling）信息加入到最终生成的二进制代码中。剖析信息对于找出程序的性能瓶颈很有帮助，是协助Linux程序员开发出高性能程序的有力工具。

  • -save-temps

保存编译过程中生成的一些列中间文件。

# gcc test.c -o test -save-temps

除了生成执行文件test之外，还保存了test.i 和 test.s 中间文件，供用户查询调试。

交叉编译选项

通常情况下使用 gcc 编译的目标代码都与使用的机器是一致的，但 gcc 也支持交叉编译的功能，能够编译其他不同CPU的目标代码。使用 gcc 开发嵌入式系统，我们几乎都是以通用的PC机（X86）平台来做宿主机，通过 gcc 的交叉编译功能对其他嵌入式CPU的开发任务。

Specifying Attributes of Variables (attribute)

The keyword __attribute__ allows you to specify special attributes of variables or structure fields. This keyword is followed by an attribute specification inside double parentheses(双括号). Ten attributes are currently defined for variables: aligned, mode, nocommon, packed, section, transparent_union, unused, deprecated, vector_size, and weak.

section (“section-name”)

Normally, the compiler places the objects it generates in sections like data and bss. Sometimes, however, you need additional sections, or you need certain particular variables to appear in special sections, for example to map to special hardware. The section attribute specifies that a variable (or function) lives in a particular section.

示例：

#include <iostream>
#include "mydefine.h"

int main()
{
  BIN_INFO(DESC_VER("gerry"));
}

// mydefine.h
#pragma once

#ifndef MY_VER
#define MY_VER ""
#endif

#define DESC_VER(info) MY_VER "(" info ")"

#ifndef MY_DATE
#define MY_DATE __DATE__ " " __TIME__
#endif

#define ___me(a, b) __me_ ##a ## b

Pragmas

关于编译器 pragmas 的用法：

GCC supports several types of pragmas, primarily in order to compile code originally written for other compilers. Note that in general we do not recommend the use of pragmas; See Function Attributes, for further explanation.

The GNU C preprocessor recognizes several pragmas in addition to the compiler pragmas documented here. Refer to the CPP manual for more information.

• AArch64 Pragmas • ARM Pragmas • M32C Pragmas • PRU Pragmas • RS/6000 and PowerPC Pragmas • S/390 Pragmas • Darwin Pragmas • Solaris Pragmas • Symbol-Renaming Pragmas • Structure-Layout Pragmas • Weak Pragmas • Diagnostic Pragmas • Visibility Pragmas • Push/Pop Macro Pragmas • Function Specific Option Pragmas • Loop-Specific Pragmas

Diagnostic Pragmas

示例代码：https://wandbox.org/permlink/U4CUnRy09abxOSHy

#include <iostream>
#include <stdint.h>

int main()
{
#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__clang__) && !defined(__apple_build_version__)
#  if (__GNUC__ * 100 + __GNUC_MINOR__ * 10) >= 460
#    pragma GCC diagnostic push
#  endif
#  pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wsign-compare"
#  pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-parameter"
#  pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wtype-limits"
#elif defined(__clang__) || defined(__apple_build_version__)
#  pragma clang diagnostic push
#  pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wsign-conversion"
#  pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-parameter"
#  pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wtype-limits"
#endif

  auto a = (uint32_t(0) < -1);
  std::cout << std::boolalpha <<  a << std::endl;

#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__clang__) && !defined(__apple_build_version__)
#  if (__GNUC__ * 100 + __GNUC_MINOR__ * 10) >= 460

ABI Policy and Guidelines

The C++ Interface

The C++ Standard Library has many include files, types defined in those include files, specific named functions, and other behavior. The text of these behaviors, as written in source include files, is called the Application Programing Interface, or API.

Furthermore, C++ source that is compiled into object files is transformed by the compiler: it arranges objects with specific alignment and in a particular layout, mangling names according to a well-defined algorithm, has specific arrangements for the support of virtual functions, etc. These details are defined as the compiler Application Binary Interface, or ABI. From GCC version 3 onwards the GNU C++ compiler uses an industry-standard C++ ABI, the Itanium C++ ABI.

The GNU C++ compiler, g++, has a compiler command line option to switch between various different C++ ABIs. This explicit version switch is the flag -fabi-version. In addition, some g++ command line options may change the ABI as a side-effect of use. Such flags include -fpack-struct and -fno-exceptions, but include others: see the complete list in the GCC manual under the heading Options for Code Generation Conventions.

The configure options used when building a specific libstdc++ version may also impact the resulting library ABI. The available configure options, and their impact on the library ABI, are documented here.

Putting all of these ideas together results in the C++ Standard Library ABI, which is the compilation of a given library API by a given compiler ABI. In a nutshell: library API + compiler ABI = library ABI

The library ABI is mostly of interest for end-users who have unresolved symbols and are linking dynamically to the C++ Standard library, and who thus must be careful to compile their application with a compiler that is compatible with the available C++ Standard library binary. In this case, compatible is defined with the equation above: given an application compiled with a given compiler ABI and library API, it will work correctly with a Standard C++ Library created with the same constraints.

To use a specific version of the C++ ABI, one must use a corresponding GNU C++ toolchain (i.e., g++ and libstdc++) that implements the C++ ABI in question.

Versioning

The C++ interface has evolved throughout the history of the GNU C++ toolchain. With each release, various details have been changed so as to give distinct versions to the C++ interface.

Goals

Extending existing, stable ABIs. Versioning gives subsequent releases of library binaries the ability to add new symbols and add functionality, all the while retaining compatibility with the previous releases in the series. Thus, program binaries linked with the initial release of a library binary will still run correctly if the library binary is replaced by carefully-managed subsequent library binaries. This is called forward compatibility(向前兼容).

The reverse (backwards compatibility(向后兼容)) is not true. It is not possible to take program binaries linked with the latest version of a library binary in a release series (with additional symbols added), substitute in the initial release of the library binary, and remain link compatible.

Allows multiple, incompatible ABIs to coexist at the same time.

History

How can this complexity be managed? What does C++ versioning mean? Because library and compiler changes often make binaries compiled with one version of the GNU tools incompatible with binaries compiled with other (either newer or older) versions of the same GNU tools, specific techniques are used to make managing this complexity easier.

The following techniques are used:

  • Release versioning on the libgcc_s.so binary.

This is implemented via file names and the ELF DT_SONAME mechanism (at least on ELF systems). It is versioned as follows:

GCC 3.x: libgcc_s.so.1
GCC 4.x: libgcc_s.so.1
...
  • Symbol versioning on the libgcc_s.so binary.

It is versioned with the following labels and version definitions, where the version definition is the maximum for a particular release. Labels are cumulative. If a particular release is not listed, it has the same version labels as the preceding release.

This corresponds to the mapfile: gcc/libgcc-std.ver

GCC 3.0.0: GCC_3.0
GCC 3.3.0: GCC_3.3
...
GCC 4.8.0: GCC_4.8.0
  • Release versioning on the libstdc++.so binary, implemented in the same way as the libgcc_s.so binary above. Listed is the filename: DT_SONAME can be deduced from the filename by removing the last two period-delimited numbers. For example, filename libstdc++.so.5.0.4 corresponds to a DT_SONAME of libstdc++.so.5. Binaries with equivalent DT_SONAMEs are forward-compatibile: in the table below, releases incompatible with the previous one are explicitly noted. If a particular release is not listed, its libstdc++.so binary has the same filename and DT_SONAME as the preceding release.

It is versioned as follows:

GCC 3.0.0: libstdc++.so.3.0.0
GCC 3.0.1: libstdc++.so.3.0.1
...
GCC 4.8.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.18
GCC 4.8.3: libstdc++.so.6.0.19
GCC 4.9.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.20
GCC 5.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.21
...
GCC 10.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.28
GCC 11.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.29
  • Symbol versioning on the libstdc++.so binary.

mapfile: libstdc++-v3/config/abi/pre/gnu.ver

GCC 4.8.0: GLIBCXX_3.4.18, CXXABI_1.3.7
GCC 4.8.3: GLIBCXX_3.4.19, CXXABI_1.3.7
GCC 4.9.0: GLIBCXX_3.4.20, CXXABI_1.3.8
GCC 5.1.0: GLIBCXX_3.4.21, CXXABI_1.3.9
...
GCC 10.1.0: GLIBCXX_3.4.28, CXXABI_1.3.12
GCC 11.1.0: GLIBCXX_3.4.29, CXXABI_1.3.13

Testing

Single ABI Testing

Testing for GNU C++ ABI changes is composed of two distinct areas: testing the C++ compiler (g++) for compiler changes, and testing the C++ library (libstdc++) for library changes.

Multiple ABI Testing

A “C” application, dynamically linked to two shared libraries, liba, libb. The dependent library liba is a C++ shared library compiled with GCC 3.3, and uses io, exceptions, locale, etc. The dependent library libb is a C++ shared library compiled with GCC 3.4, and also uses io, exceptions, locale, etc.

As above, libone is constructed as follows:

gcc-3.4.0/bin/g++ -fPIC -DPIC -c a.cc
gcc-3.4.0/bin/g++ -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,libone.so.1 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,defs a.o -o libone.so.1.0.0

ln -s libone.so.1.0.0 libone.so

gcc-3.4.0/bin/g++ -c a.cc

ar cru libone.a a.o

And, libtwo is constructed as follows:

gcc-3.3.3/bin/g++ -fPIC -DPIC -c b.cc
gcc-3.3.3/bin/g++ -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,libtwo.so.1 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,defs b.o -o libtwo.so.1.0.0

ln -s libtwo.so.1.0.0 libtwo.so

gcc-3.3.3/bin/g++ -c b.cc
ar cru libtwo.a b.o

with the resulting libraries looking like:

%ldd libone.so.1.0.0
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x40016000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x400fa000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /mnt/hd/bld/gcc/gcc/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4011c000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40125000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00355000)

%ldd libtwo.so.1.0.0
	libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40027000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x400e1000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /mnt/hd/bld/gcc/gcc/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40103000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4010c000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00355000)

Then, the “C” compiler is used to compile a source file that uses functions from each library.

gcc test.c -g -O2 -L. -lone -ltwo /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Which gives the expected:

%ldd a.out
	libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x00764000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x40015000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0036d000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x004a8000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /mnt/hd/bld/gcc/gcc/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x400e5000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00355000)

This resulting binary, when executed, will be able to safely use code from both liba, and the dependent libstdc++.so.6, and libb, with the dependent libstdc++.so.5.

Troubleshooting

How to compile 32-bit program on 64-bit gcc in C and C++

Now in order to compile with 32-bit gcc, just add a flag -m32 in the command line of compling the ‘C’ language program. For instance, to compile a file of geek.c through Linux terminal, you must write the following commnad with -m32 flag.

gcc -m32 geek.c -o geek

How to check whether a program is compiled with 32-bit after adding a “-m32” flag?

// C program to demonstrate difference
// in output in 32-bit and 64-bit gcc
// File name: geek.c
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    printf("Size = %lu", sizeof(size_t));
}

Input: gcc -m64 geek.c -o out Output: ./out Size = 8

Input: gcc -m32 geek.c -o out Output: ./out Size = 4

refer: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/compile-32-bit-program-64-bit-gcc-c-c/

How can I hide “defined but not used” warnings in GCC?

The GCC compiler flags that control unused warnings include:

-Wunused-function
-Wunused-label
-Wunused-parameter
-Wunused-value
-Wunused-variable
-Wunused (=all of the above)

Each of these has a corresponding negative form with “no-“ inserted after the W which turns off the warning (in case it was turned on by -Wall, for example). Thus, in your case you should use

-Wno-unused-function

GCC和Clang混合编译兼容性问题

  • The compilers are compatible, but their default standard libraries are not. (clang和gcc编译器是兼容的，另外还要看它们使用的c++库是否兼容，其中，libstdc++和libc++是不兼容的)
  • On GNU/Linux you are probably using clang + libstdc++, so it is compatible with GCC + libstdc++, because it uses the same definition of std::string from libstdc++.
  • On Mac OS X you are using clang + libc++, which is not compatible with GCC + libstdc++, they define std::string differently so you get different mangled names.
  • One option is to use -stdlib=libstdc++ when compiling with Clang on Mac OS X, to tell it to use libstdc++, however the version of libstdc++ included with Mac OS X is ancient and doesn’t support any of C++11. Doing that might also mean you can’t link to other native Mac OS X libraries that use the C++ standard library, because they would probably not have been built with -stdlib=libstdc++

std::unordered_map 在不同gcc版本的ABI兼容性问题 (_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI)

In the GCC 5.1 release libstdc++ introduced a new library ABI that includes new implementations of std::string and std::list. These changes were necessary to conform to the 2011 C++ standard which forbids Copy-On-Write strings and requires lists to keep track of their size.

see: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html#libstdcxx

_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI

Defined to the value 1 by default. Configurable via –disable-libstdcxx-dual-abi and/or –with-default-libstdcxx-abi. ABI-changing. When defined to a non-zero value the library headers will use the new C++11-conforming ABI introduced in GCC 5, rather than the older ABI introduced in GCC 3.4. This changes the definition of several class templates, including std:string, std::list and some locale facets. For more details see Dual ABI.

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_macros.html

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <unordered_map>

int main()
{
    printf("__GNUC__(%d)\n", __GNUC__);
    printf("sizeof(std::unordered_map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = %lu\n", sizeof(std::unordered_map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) );
    printf("sizeof(std::map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = %lu\n", sizeof(std::map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) );
    printf("sizeof(std::string) = %lu\n", sizeof(std::string) );
    printf("sizeof(std::list<uint64_t>) = %lu\n", sizeof(std::list<uint64_t>) );
}

gcc 8.3.0编译：

sizeof(std::unordered_map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 56
sizeof(std::map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 48
sizeof(std::string) = 32
sizeof(std::list<uint64_t>) = 24

gcc 8.3.0编译：带 -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 选项，可以保证std::string和std::list 与 gcc 4.8.5 ABI兼容。

sizeof(std::unordered_map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 56
sizeof(std::map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 48
sizeof(std::string) = 8
sizeof(std::list<uint64_t>) = 16

gcc 4.8.5编译：

sizeof(std::unordered_map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 48
sizeof(std::map<uint64_t, uint64_t>) = 48
sizeof(std::string) = 8
sizeof(std::list<uint64_t>) = 16

For GCC it is safe to link together any combination of objects A, B, and C. If they are all built with the same version then they are ABI compatible, the standard version (i.e. the -std option) doesn’t make any difference.

Any combination of the following objects will work (although see note below about libstdc++.so version):

For exmaple,

object D compiled with GCC 4.9 and -std=c++03
object E compiled with GCC 5 and -std=c++11
object F compiled with GCC 7 and -std=c++17
  • because C++03 support is stable in all three compiler versions used, and so the C++03 components are compatible between all the objects.
  • C++11 support is stable since GCC 5, but object D doesn’t use any C++11 features, and objects E and F both use versions where C++11 support is stable.
  • C++17 support is not stable in any of the used compiler versions, but only object F uses C++17 features and so there is no compatibility issue with the other two objects (the only features they share come from C++03 or C++11, and the versions used make those parts OK).
  • If you later wanted to compile a fourth object, G, using GCC 8 and -std=c++17 then you would need to recompile F with the same version (or not link to F) because the C++17 symbols in F and G are incompatible.

The only caveat for the compatibility described above between D, E and F is that your program must use the libstdc++.so shared library from GCC 7 (or later). Because object F was compiled with GCC 7, you need to use the shared library from that release, because compiling any part of the program with GCC 7 might introduce dependencies on symbols that are not present in the libstdc++.so from GCC 4.9 or GCC 5. Similarly, if you linked to object G, built with GCC 8, you would need to use the libstdc++.so from GCC 8 to ensure all symbols needed by G are found. The simple rule is to ensure the shared library the program uses at run-time is at least as new as the version used to compile any of the objects.

Another caveat when using GCC, already mentioned in the comments on your question, is that since GCC 5 there are two implementations of std::string available in libstdc++. The two implementations are not link-compatible (they have different mangled names, so can’t be linked together) but can co-exist in the same binary (they have different mangled names, so don’t conflict if one object uses std::string and the other uses std::__cxx11::string). If your objects use std::string then usually they should all be compiled with the same string implementation. Compile with -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 to select the original gcc4-compatible implementation, or -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 to select the new cxx11 implementation (don’t be fooled by the name, it can be used in C++03 too, it’s called cxx11 because it conforms to the C++11 requirements). Which implementation is the default depends on how GCC was configured, but the default can always be overridden at compile-time with the macro.

Glibc vs GCC vs binutils compatibility

Is there a sort of official documentation about version compatibility between binutils, glibc and GCC?

glibc documents the min required version of binutils & gcc in its INSTALL file.

glibc-2.23 states:

Recommended Tools for Compilation
GCC 4.7 or newer
GNU 'binutils' 2.22 or later

typically if you want to go newer than those, glibc will generally work with the version of gcc that was in development at the time of the release. e.g. glibc-2.23 was released 18 Feb 2016 and gcc-6 was under development at that time, so glibc-2.23 will work with gcc-4.7 through gcc-6.

so find the version of gcc you want, then find its release date, then look at the glibc releases from around the same time.

all that said, using an old version of glibc is a terrible idea. it will be full of known security vulnerabilities (include remotely exploitable ones). the latest glibc-2.23 release for example fixed CVE-2015-7547 which affects any application doing DNS network resolution and affects versions starting with glibc-2.9. remember: this is not the only bug lurking.

Program Instrumentation Options (程序插桩选项)

GCC supports a number of command-line options that control adding run-time instrumentation to the code it normally generates.

For example, one purpose of instrumentation is collect profiling statistics for use in finding program hot spots, code coverage analysis, or profile-guided optimizations. Another class of program instrumentation is adding run-time checking to detect programming errors like invalid pointer dereferences or out-of-bounds array accesses, as well as deliberately hostile attacks such as stack smashing or C++ vtable hijacking. There is also a general hook which can be used to implement other forms of tracing or function-level instrumentation for debug or program analysis purposes.

-p

Generate extra code to write profile information suitable for the analysis program prof. You must use this option when compiling the source files you want data about, and you must also use it when linking.

-pg

Generate extra code to write profile information suitable for the analysis program gprof. You must use this option when compiling the source files you want data about, and you must also use it when linking.

–coverage (代码覆盖率分析)

This option is used to compile and link code instrumented for coverage analysis. The option is a synonym for -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage (when compiling) and -lgcov (when linking).

-fsanitize=address

Enable AddressSanitizer, a fast memory error detector. Memory access instructions are instrumented to detect out-of-bounds and use-after-free bugs. The option enables -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope. See https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer for more details.

The run-time behavior can be influenced using the ASAN_OPTIONS environment variable. When set to help=1, the available options are shown at startup of the instrumented program. See https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerFlags#run-time-flags for a list of supported options. The option cannot be combined with -fsanitize=thread and/or -fcheck-pointer-bounds.

-fsanitize=leak

Enable LeakSanitizer, a memory leak detector. This option only matters for linking of executables and the executable is linked against a library that overrides malloc and other allocator functions. See https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLeakSanitizer for more details. The run-time behavior can be influenced using the LSAN_OPTIONS environment variable. The option cannot be combined with -fsanitize=thread.

-fsanitize=thread

Enable ThreadSanitizer, a fast data race detector. Memory access instructions are instrumented to detect data race bugs. See https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki#threadsanitizer for more details. The run-time behavior can be influenced using the TSAN_OPTIONS environment variable; see https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/ThreadSanitizerFlags for a list of supported options. The option cannot be combined with -fsanitize=address, -fsanitize=leak and/or -fcheck-pointer-bounds.

Note that sanitized atomic builtins cannot throw exceptions when operating on invalid memory addresses with non-call exceptions (-fnon-call-exceptions).

-fsanitize=undefined

Enable UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, a fast undefined behavior detector. Various computations are instrumented to detect undefined behavior at runtime.

-finstrument-functions (函数插桩)

Generate instrumentation calls for entry and exit to functions. Just after function entry and just before function exit, the following profiling functions are called with the address of the current function and its call site. (On some platforms, __builtin_return_address does not work beyond the current function, so the call site information may not be available to the profiling functions otherwise.)

void __cyg_profile_func_enter (void *this_fn,
                               void *call_site);
void __cyg_profile_func_exit  (void *this_fn,
                               void *call_site);

The first argument is the address of the start of the current function, which may be looked up exactly in the symbol table.

This instrumentation is also done for functions expanded inline in other functions. The profiling calls indicate where, conceptually, the inline function is entered and exited. This means that addressable versions of such functions must be available. If all your uses of a function are expanded inline, this may mean an additional expansion of code size. If you use extern inline in your C code, an addressable version of such functions must be provided. (This is normally the case anyway, but if you get lucky and the optimizer always expands the functions inline, you might have gotten away without providing static copies.)

A function may be given the attribute no_instrument_function, in which case this instrumentation is not done. This can be used, for example, for the profiling functions listed above, high-priority interrupt routines, and any functions from which the profiling functions cannot safely be called (perhaps signal handlers, if the profiling routines generate output or allocate memory).

-finstrument-functions-exclude-file-list=file,file,…

Set the list of functions that are excluded from instrumentation (see the description of -finstrument-functions). If the file that contains a function definition matches with one of file, then that function is not instrumented. The match is done on substrings: if the file parameter is a substring of the file name, it is considered to be a match.

For example:

-finstrument-functions-exclude-file-list=/bits/stl,include/sys

excludes any inline function defined in files whose pathnames contain /bits/stl or include/sys.

-finstrument-functions-exclude-function-list=sym,sym,…

This is similar to -finstrument-functions-exclude-file-list, but this option sets the list of function names to be excluded from instrumentation. The function name to be matched is its user-visible name, such as vector blah(const vector &), not the internal mangled name (e.g., _Z4blahRSt6vectorIiSaIiEE). The match is done on substrings: if the sym parameter is a substring of the function name, it is considered to be a match. For C99 and C++ extended identifiers, the function name must be given in UTF-8, not using universal character names.

测试代码：

#include <stdio.h>

#define DUMP(func, call) printf("%s: func = %p, called by = %p\n", __FUNCTION__, func, call)

void __attribute__((no_instrument_function))
__cyg_profile_func_enter(void *this_func, void *call_site)
{
    DUMP(this_func, call_site);
}

void __attribute__((no_instrument_function))
__cyg_profile_func_exit(void *this_func, void *call_site)
{
    DUMP(this_func, call_site);
}

int do_multi(int a, int b)
{
    return a * b;
}

int do_calc(int a, int b)
{
    return do_multi(a, b);
}

int main()
{
    int a = 4, b = 5;
    printf("result: %d\n", do_calc(a, b));
    return 0;
}

编译：

gcc -finstrument-functions test.c

输出：

__cyg_profile_func_enter: func = 0x400733, called by = 0x7f11bf64bac5
__cyg_profile_func_enter: func = 0x4006e8, called by = 0x40076a
__cyg_profile_func_enter: func = 0x4006a5, called by = 0x400717
__cyg_profile_func_exit: func = 0x4006a5, called by = 0x400717
__cyg_profile_func_exit: func = 0x4006e8, called by = 0x40076a
result: 20
__cyg_profile_func_exit: func = 0x400733, called by = 0x7f11bf64bac5

-fpatchable-function-entry=N[,M]

Generate N NOPs right at the beginning of each function, with the function entry point before the Mth NOP. If M is omitted, it defaults to 0 so the function entry points to the address just at the first NOP. The NOP instructions reserve extra space which can be used to patch in any desired instrumentation at run time, provided that the code segment is writable. The amount of space is controllable indirectly via the number of NOPs; the NOP instruction used corresponds to the instruction emitted by the internal GCC back-end interface gen_nop. This behavior is target-specific and may also depend on the architecture variant and/or other compilation options.
