Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.2.5-11.5 Severity: normal In /usr/include/alloca.h we find
-------------------------------------------------------- extern void *alloca (size_t __size) __THROW; #ifdef __GNUC__ # define alloca(size) __builtin_alloca (size) #endif /* GCC. */ -------------------------------------------------------- Things work fine with gcc, but they don't with anything else - the alloca referred to in the extern void* doesn't seem to exist in the libraries. In particular, I tried TCC (package tcc) and I used it to compile lwc version 0.5, available at http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~sxanth/lwc/lwc-0.5.tar.bz2 (I replaced gcc with tcc in the Makefile) and the result was tcc -O2 main.c objdir/*.o -o objdir/lwc tcc: undefined symbol 'alloca' and also I tried doing this last step with gcc, but with similar results: gcc -O2 main.c objdir/*.o -o objdir/lwc objdir/dcl.o: In function `add_this': objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x1152): undefined reference to `alloca' objdir/dcl.o: In function `mark_function_def': objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x2702): undefined reference to `alloca' objdir/dcl.o: In function `pdcl_function': objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x2871): undefined reference to `alloca' objdir/dcl.o: In function `send_virtual': objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x29f4): undefined reference to `alloca' objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x2ab8): undefined reference to `alloca' objdir/dcl.o(.text+0x32f4): more undefined references to `alloca' follow collect2: ld returned 1 exit status but it worked fine with gcc-3.0 in the Makefile instead of tcc.
