Boost error, trouble compiling xtime.hpp - boost

I've been working on a C++ project using Boost, and between compiles, I must have upgraded something in boost without meaning to or something, because now Boost dependencies won't compile:

Any ideas? I tried changing TIME_UTC to TIME_UTC_ as this was recommended to me on another site, but that didn't seem to help.

EDIT: To make it clear, the code is failing on an import of boost/thread.hpp

For those running into the same issue and struggling to find the solution here.
Derived from noodlebox' link (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6940):
You can edit /usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp (or whereever your xtime.hpp lies)
and change all occurrences of TIME_UTC to TIME_UTC_ - Probably around lines 23 and 71.
i.e. sed -i 's/TIME_UTC/TIME_UTC_/g' /usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp

If you're getting syntax errors when using Boost, you may need to compile your code with -std=c++11.
The TIME_UTC issue you might have read about is a side effect of using c++11. TIME_UTC is now defined as a macro in c++11, so you will need to either replace all instances of TIME_UTC with TIME_UTC_, or just use a newer (1.50.0+) version of Boost where this has been fixed already.
See: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6940

Since you do not show your code, we can only guess. My guess is that you define TIME_UTC macro somewhere in your code. This macro messes-up xtime.hpp header.

clang-tidy 4.0 clang-analyzer-alpha.unix.PthreadLock check

Even after I thought that this check was missing, I am now suddenly getting the output of clang-analyzer-alpha.unix.PthreadLock check from the clang-tidy 4.0 tool. Here is a toned down use case of my code which I am trying to modernize by using clang-tidy tool.
I have enabled all the checks using -checks=* argument.
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/once.hpp>
void foo2()
{
boost:mutex mymutex;
boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mymutex);
int* x = NULL; // This is intentional. This triggers the clang-tidy checks. If I remove this lines, I wont get the clang-tidy warnings/errors/recommendations.
}
int main() {
foo2();
return 0;
}
When clang-tidy is ran over this code,it produces following warnings.
path/boost/include/boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp:149:23: warning: This lock has already been acquired [clang-analyzer-alpha.unix.PthreadLock]

nullptr
Suppressed 33125 warnings (33125 in non-user code).
Use -header-filter=.* to display errors from all non-system headers. Use -system-headers to display errors from system headers as well.
Why does clang-tidy think that this lock has already been taken? Two functions are totally apart and the lock inside foo2 has no relation to lock in the boost headers. Is this an incorrect warning ? If not then what should I do about it?

Runtime error : Segmentation fault with libtommath and libtomcrypt

I am trying to run sample rsa/dsa code using libtomcrypt.
I have installed LibTomMath first as make install, as a result following files are created.
/usr/lib/libtommath.a
/usr/include/tommath.h
After that I installed libtomcrypt with LibTomMath as external library
CFLAGS="-DLTM_DESC -DUSE_LTM -I/usr/include" EXTRALIBS="/usr/lib/libtommath.a " make install
As a result following file is created
/usr/lib/libtomcrypt.a
I am not getting any error while running following command
CFLAGS="-DLTM_DESC -DUSE_LTM -I/usr/include" EXTRALIBS="/usr/lib/libtommath.a " make test
I have gone through this document libtomcrypt_installation and libtomcrypt_resolved to successfully compile using
gcc -DLTM_DESC rsa_make_key_example.c -o rsa -ltomcrypt
or
gcc rsa_make_key_example.c -o rsa -ltomcrypt
no compile error. However when I try to run, I got following error.
./rsa
LTC_ARGCHK 'ltc_mp.name != NULL' failure on line 34 of file src/pk/rsa/rsa_make_key.c
Aborted
Here is my sample rsa code
#include <tomcrypt.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
# ifdef USE_LTM
ltc_mp = ltm_desc;
# elif defined (USE_TFM)
ltc_mp = tfm_desc;
# endif
rsa_key key;
int err;
register_prng(&sprng_desc);
if ((err = rsa_make_key(NULL, find_prng("sprng"), 1024/8, 65537,&key)) != CRYPT_OK) {
printf("make_key error: %s\n", error_to_string(err));
return -1;
}
/* use the key ... */
return 0;
}
Here is my sample dsa code
#include <tomcrypt.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
# ifdef USE_LTM
ltc_mp = ltm_desc;
# elif defined (USE_TFM)
ltc_mp = tfm_desc;
# endif
int err;
register_prng(&sprng_desc);
dsa_key key;
if ((err = dsa_make_key(NULL, find_prng("sprng"), 20, 128,&key)) != CRYPT_OK) {
printf("make_key error: %s\n", error_to_string(err));
return -1;
}
/* use the key ... */
return 0;
}
Here is how I have compiled it successfully,
gcc dsa_make_key_example.c -o dsa -ltomcrypt
When I try to run the code , I am getting following error .
./dsa
segmentation fault
EDIT 1:
I investigated further and found the reason for segmentation fault
#ifdef LTC_MPI
#include <stdarg.h>
int ltc_init_multi(void **a, ...)
{
...
...
if (mp_init(cur) != CRYPT_OK) ---> This line causes segmentation fault
Where am I making mistakes ? How to resolve this problem to run these programs successfully?
I am using linux , gcc. Any help/link will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
It's been a year or so since this was asked, but I have some component of an answer, and a workaround.
The reason mp_init fails is that the "math_descriptor" is uninitialized. mp_init is a defined as
#define mp_init(a) ltc_mp.init(a)
where ltc_mp is a global struct (of type ltc_math_descriptor) that holds pointers to the math routines.
There are several implementations of the math routines available, and a user can choose which they want. For whatever reason, there does not seem to be a default math implementation chosen for certain builds of libtomcrypt. Thus, the init member of ltc_mp is null, and we get the SIGSEGV.
Here is a manual workaround:
You can make your desired ltc_math_descriptor struct available to your main() routine by #defineing one of
LTM_DESC -- built-in math lib
TFM_DESC -- an external fast math package
GMP_DESC -- presumably a GNU MultiPrecision implementation?
Before #include <tomcrypt.h> (or by using -D on the command-line).
Whichever you choose, a corresponding object will be declared:
extern const ltc_math_descriptor ltm_desc;
extern const ltc_math_descriptor tfm_desc;
extern const ltc_math_descriptor gmp_desc;
To use it, manually copy it to the global math descriptor:
E.g., in my case, for the local math imlpementation,
ltc_mp = ltm_desc;
Now libtomcrypt works.

C++ shared library symbols versioning

I'm trying to create library with two versions of the same function using
__asm__(".symver ......
approach
library.h
#ifndef CTEST_H
#define CTEST_H
int first(int x);
int second(int x);
#endif
library.cpp
#include "simple.h"
#include <stdio.h>
__asm__(".symver first_1_0,first#LIBSIMPLE_1.0");
int first_1_0(int x)
{
printf("lib: %s\n", __FUNCTION__);
return x + 1;
}
__asm__(".symver first_2_0,first##LIBSIMPLE_2.0");
int first_2_0(int x)
{
int y;
printf("lib: %d\n", y);
printf("lib: %s\n", __FUNCTION__);
return (x + 1) * 1000;
}
int second(int x)
{
printf("lib: %s\n", __FUNCTION__);
return x + 2;
}
And here is the version scripf file
LIBSIMPLE_1.0{
global:
first; second;
local:
*;
};
LIBSIMPLE_2.0{
global:
first;
local:
*;
};
When build library using gcc, everything works well, and i am able to link to a library binary. Using nm tool i see that both first() and second() function symbols are exported.
Now, when i try to use g++, non of the symbols are exported.
So i tried to use extern "C" directive to wrap both declarations
extern "C" {
int first(int x);
int second(int x);
}
nm shows that second() function symbol is exported, but first() still remain unexported, and mangled.
What is here i am missing to make this to work? Or it is impossible with the c++ compiler to achieve this?
I don't know why, with 'extern "C"', 'first' was not exported - suspect there is something else interfering.
Otherwise C++ name mangling is certainly a pain here. The 'asm' directives (AFAIK) require the mangled names for C++ functions, not the simple 'C' name. So 'int first(int)' would need to be referenced as (e.g.) '_Z5firsti' instead of just 'first'. This is, of course, a real pain as far as portability goes...
The linker map file is more forgiving as its supported 'extern "C++" {...}' blocks to list C++ symbols in their as-written form - 'int first(int)'.
This whole process is a maintainance nightmare. What I'd really like would be a function attribute which could be used to specify the alias and version...
Just to add a reminder that C++11 now supports inline namespaces which can be used to provide symbol versioning in C++.

clang pass variables by reference

I am compiling the following code using clang 3.4.2 ..
#include <stdio.h>
void haa(int& j){
j=1;
}
int main(){
printf("hello\n");
}
This gives the following error:
hello.c:3:13: error: expected ')'
void haa(int& j){
^
hello.c:3:9: note: to match this '('
void haa(int& j){
^
hello.c:3:13: error: parameter name omitted
void haa(int& j){
^
hello.c:4:2: error: use of undeclared identifier 'j'
j=1;
^
3 errors generated.
Compiling the same with gcc gives no errors or warnings...
Can someone explain why this is happening?
The issue is that pass by reference (with references and not pointers) is not a c but a c++ feature.
You need to compile the code with a c++ compiler such as g++ or clang++. Changing the file extension to .cpp also works, as this tells the compiler to treat it as a c++.

gcc "not inlined" warning

Does gcc's inline __attribute__((__always_inline__)) generate warning, when compiler can't inline function?
Because VS does http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z8y1yy88.aspx:
If the compiler cannot inline a function declared with __forceinline,
it generates a level 1 warning.
You need -Winline to get warnings about non-inlined functions.
If you want to verify this you can try taking the address of an inline function (which prevents it from being inlined) and then you should see a warning.
#include <stdio.h>
static inline __attribute__ ((always_inline)) int add(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
int main(void)
{
printf("%d\n", add(21, 21));
printf("%p\n", add);
return 0;
}
EDIT
I've been trying to produce a warning with the above code and other examples without success - it seems that the behaviour of current versions of gcc and clang may have changed in this area. I'll delete this answer if I can't code up with a better example that generates a warning.
