__eh_alloc

[Paulo Cortes]

Hi

I am compiling some ugly code, and I got a linker error,
about an unknown function called __eh_alloc. Somebody knows where
is defined and what it does?. I looked for it in almost every
include place in my linux system, but I couldn't found it. Thanks
in advance.

It's the Canadian version of alloc, which is only found in Canadian
versions of Linux. Try looking on ftp.ca.linux.org for a Canadian
glibc, eh?

It certainly isn't part of the C language. If you think it is part of
Linux, ask in a Linux newsgroup.

Sounds like he is compiling some C++ that uses exception handling.
This requires run-time support in libgcc.a, which might be missing.
Maybe the compiler is misconfigured or something.

By the way, that was an intentional allusion to the DECStation. :)

__eh_alloc's a cool scene! Dig it!

It isn't a standard function. Maybe it's part of the RTL of your
compiler, and you have forgotten to link part of this in. Or maybe it
is from an external library you don't have or have forgotten to link
in. Who knows?
