Hello together, I'm a new user of the Crypto++ library and just downloaded it about a week ago. I got the library integrated into our project and it's working fine. Thank's to everyone who contributed to this great work. I'm working on a Win7 64 bit and with Visual Studio 2015.
However I'm a little irritated, because I get LNK4221 error in project cryptlib even for the original solution cryptest which is shipped with the code: > strciphr.obj : warning LNK4221: This object file does not define any > previously undefined public symbols, so it will not be used by any link > operation that consumes this library [c:\cryptopp\cryptlib.vcxproj] > I get this warnings for object files strciphr.obj, simple.obj, polynomi.obj and algebra.obj. Looking into these files, I figured that these files consist of definitions / implementations for member functions of template classes. What's the point here? From my understanding templates should in general either be in a header file or be have an explicit instansiation inside the cpp. https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/templates#templates-defn-vs-decl also discusses this topic, mentioning that my understanding contains some "simplification". So maybe I miss a relevant point here. simple.cpp does not contain anything at all. oO What's the point of theses files, do I need them at all? Can/Should I disable these warnings? What would be the best way to archive this? And shouldn't this solution be applied to the public project and not only locally in my project? I also found this discussion, which mentions LNK4221: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cryptopp-users/Rn1EOAHnfOk/9rHtbelL2kwJ However it did not help me regarding my uncertainess... Regards, Jan PS: I also get the warning C4456 for declaration of variable "block" in aria.cpp in lines 151 and 156. Do I get the intention of the code wrong, or would it be enought to just rename these variables to something like "blockTemp"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to "Crypto++ Users".
