[This response addresses your other thread as well:
ld -Bsharable broken in CURRENT ?]
Hi Martin,
If you really want to directly use ld to build a shared C++ image,
then you will need to do additional study because a lot of things
changed between gcc 2 (used longjump-based EH) and gcc 3 (dwarf-region
based EH, requires more environment support). From gcc 3.2.2
documentation as installed on CURRENT (regarding the *only* supported
way to make a C++ shared library): "However, if a library or main
executable is supposed to throw or catch exceptions, you must link it
using the G++ or GCJ driver, as appropriate for the languages used in
the program, or using the option @option{-shared-libgcc} [to the gcc
driver], such that it is linked with the shared @file{libgcc}."
Now, FreeBSD might have guaranteed other ways in the past, but from
the gcc side of things, this is the only supported way to make a C++
shared image with gcc3 on modern ELF platforms:
foo.so: foo.o
${CXX} -shared -o foo.so foo.o
Regards,
Loren
