The development system is:
MacBook Pro Intel i9
MacOS Big Sur 11.4
gcc version 11.1.0 (Homebrew GCC 11.1.0_1)
clang version 12.0.0
I'm having trouble compiling some examples from the book 'Boost C ++
Application Development Cookbook’.
The problem occurs only with g ++, with clang there is no error.
Mistakes only occur when linking to -lboost_program_options, -lboost_system and
-lboost_filesystem, with any other library (eg -lboost_chrono) everything is
fine.
Furthermore, it should be noted that by linking with -lboost_system and
-lboost_filesystem no compilation / linking errors are obtained but we get a
SEGMENTATION FAULT (ONLY when compiling with g++, compiling with Clang the
program run fine), instead linking with -lboost_program_options results in
linking errors.
This is the example:
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>
#include <iostream>
namespace opt = boost::program_options;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// Constructing an options describing variable and giving it a
// textual description "All options"
opt::options_description desc("All options");
// When we are adding options, first parameter is a name
// to be used in command line. Second parameter is a type
// of that option, wrapped in value<> class. Third parameter
// must be a short description of that option.
desc.add_options()
("apples", opt::value<int>(), "how many apples do you have")
("oranges", opt::value<int>(), "how many oranges do you have")
("help", "produce help message")
;
// Variable to store our command line arguments
opt::variables_map vm;
// Parsing and storing arguments
opt::store(opt::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm);
// Must be called after all the parsing and storing
opt::notify(vm);
if (vm.count("help")) {
std::cout << desc << "\n";
return 1;
}
std::cout << "Fruits count: "
<< vm["apples"].as<int>() + vm["oranges"].as<int>()
<< std::endl;
}
and these are the errors:
