Undefined symbol linker error using curses library and insure++
mall...@hotmail.com
I'm having a "Unresolved symbol" linker problem when trying to build a
simple program using the curses library with insure++ from Parasoft:
============================================
#include <curses.h>
main()
{
initscr();
addstr("Hello World!\n");
refresh();
endwin();
return 0;
}
============================================
Location of curses library:
prompt> ls -al /usr/lib/libcurses.a
/usr/lib/libxcurses.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a
prompt> ls -al /usr/lib/libxcurses.a
/usr/lib/libxcurses.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a
============================================
prompt> insure xlc -bloadmap:ttt -o test test.c -lcurses

Driver: error executing "Run "-Zoicompiler /usr/vacpp/bin/xlc"
-bloadmap:ttt -o test test.c

prompt> insure xlC -bloadmap:ttt -o test test.C -lcurses (test.C is
identical to test.c)
(Gives me the same error)
============================================
============================================
*** But if I compile without insure++ it works: xlc -o test test.c
-lcurses,
xlC -o test test.C -lcurses (both work fine, is it a problem with
insure++?)
============================================
============================================
The funny thing is term_errno, term_parm_err... and the rest
are defined and contained in libxcurses.a:
prompt> nm -A -g /usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a | grep term_errno
/usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a[shr42.o]: term_errno D 512 2
/usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a[shr4.o]: term_errno D 12 2
prompt> nm -A -g /usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a | grep term_parm_err
/usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a[shr42.o]: term_parm_err B 74960 1024
/usr/ccs/lib/libxcurses.a[shr4.o]: term_parm_err B 31592 1024

============================================
It seems that <curses.h> include <term.h> which has these as "extern"
variables:
extern short term_errno;
extern char term_parm_err[], *term_err_strings[], *Def_term;

What I'm I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated, thank you. :)

This is the wrong forum for that question ...
You'll be better off asking Parasoft tech support.
However, I've been able to reproduce the problem.
Solution: add the line below to /opt/parasoft/lib.aix5/.psrc:
Insure++.compile.avoidexterndecls *

Nothing. It's really a mis-feature of the system headers. Explanation here:
