I did more testing, and I still don't really understand what's happening. The closest info I have on this is https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25460, but the `g++`call made by libtool still seem pretty much the same:

In this case, you'll get the `-nostdlib` and friends, and get a link failure unless you pass in `-lpthread` on my GCC8. This is regardless of the Libtool version it seems (well, 2.4.6 and 2.4.7). I made such a sample test program: https://github.com/b4n/ltcxxthread --- Insight I'm taking from this: * this only happens with shared libraries (otherwise libtool doesn't play with `-nostdlib` and it seems to work) * because of this, it's tricky to test at configure time whether a workaround is needed or not * seems to either be a libtool or gcc bug (but it *seems* like it's fixed by a newer GCC, not a newer libtool -- or it could be a change in the used threading or stdlib implementations?) In the end, I don't know if this here is OK or not. FWIW, the sample program does *not* seem to link to libpthread, yet it works. If I add `-lpthread` it then does link to it -- obviously. However, Geany links to libpthread anyway through GLib -- at least on GNU/Linux. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3888#issuecomment-2143849479 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
