Hello Christophe,

Awesome! With this beta SDK I managed to compile my program with gcc5, and I ran a few tests with success. I will test it more thoroughly next week. Thanks a lot!
The included binary doesn't seem to work though, just so you know.

Regarding the approach with the gmsh.h_cwrap header, I see two distinct issues:

1. The "multiple-definition" error that may occur at the linking stage
   for programs that have more than one compilation unit (tutorials in
   doc/gmsh/demos/api are not concerned).
   As far as I know this issue can indeed be solved either with the
   -zmuldefs flag, by inlining the functions in gmsh.h_cwrap (that mail
   was from me) or using anonymous namespaces as suggested by Juan
   Sanchez (that I didn't try).

2. The segfault that occurs at execution, due to the infinite recursion
   you mentioned.

But the SDK built with gcc5 made my day! ;-) Thanks again!

Cheers,

Julien

Hello Julien (and the other Linux SDK users),

Could you give this beta SDK build a try? (It's now compiled with gcc5 (to 
match our Windows builds), and does not depend on libgfortran anymore. It's 
still built with an old glibc version, so that we can continue to support older 
distributions.)

Thanks,

Hello Max and Christophe,

I just encountered the same problem with the latest version 4.2.2 of the SDK. 
The regular header works just fine on Ubuntu with GCC 4, but the approach with 
the cwrap and gmshc.h to make it work with GCC 5 still causes a segfault when 
calling gmsh::initialize(). Do you remember what the issue with the cwrap 
header was? Is there a way to fix or bypass that issue?

As stated in the README, until we ship the SDK compiled with a more recent gcc you should 
use "-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0". Or as suggested on the mailing list, you 
could inline the functions in gmsh.h_cwrap or encapsulate them in another namespace. If 
somebody can confirm that inlining allows to solve the issue, we could change 
gmsh.h_cwrap to do the inlining by default.

More detailed explanation : the ABI from gcc5 is *partially* compatible with 
the gcc4 ABI. This means that using gmsh.h_cwrap as-is will lead to infinite 
recursions for e.g gmsh::initialize (which has the same name mangling with the 
2 compilers), as the call to the function defined in gmsh.h_cwrap will call the 
C function, which itself will call back the function in gmsh.h_cwrap (instead 
of the function in the library).

Thanks for any help!

Yes, there was an issue with the cwrap header but the regular header was
fine after all.
Sorry for the trouble!

Hello all,


Sorry for the newbie question. I have some C++ code that has successfully

built and ran using the windows gmsh SDK but which causes a segfault on

ubuntu when trying to call gmsh::initialize(). I have tried the basic gmsh

C++ header and .so files, using the cwrap and gmshc.h version of the gmsh

header file, defining the ABI number for g++ as 0, (and 1 just for kicks),

and finally recompiling the .so from source with the same compiler as the

other code, all to no avail. Is there anything further I can try apart from

wrestling with gdb?



Did you fix the issue ?

Thanks for your time,

Max Orok
