UNIX symbol referencing error - unix

Question

Greetings Everyone.
I'm currently trying to compile a multiple-language program (C, C++ and FORTRAN) using GNU compilers in UNIX (g++, gcc & f77 respectively).
All my sources are compiling into objects with no errors however I encounter a symbol referencing error as they are linked as shown below:

SA.o mersenne.o CFE.o MA_57.o blas.o MA_57_Depend.o Metis.o\

I have read that this is typically the fault of missing libraries. I know the C & FORTRAN code compiles fine seperatly (respective libraries included) as does the C++ code when compiled on its own. This leads me to believe that it is the interface between the two programs that causes the error. Unfortunatly I've little to no experiance debugging this sort of problem and without any clues from the linker its hard to move forward. I'll include the necessary parts of my program that deal with the interface between the two sides of the program.
First the C++ part: SA.h, SA.cpp
SA.h:
class SimAnneal {
...
std::vector<float> DensityArray;
std::vector<float> EnergyArray;
public
double ObjFunction ();
...
}
SA.ccp:
#include <math.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <time.h>
#include <vector>
#include "SA.h"
#include "CFE.h"
#include "randomc.h" //Includes mersenne.cpp
double SimAnneal::ObjFunction ()
{
CFE(&DensityArray[0], &EnergyArray[0]);
// sends pointers of both arrays to CFE.c and modifies EnergyArray as
// shown in CFE.c
double SumStrainEnergy = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < EnergyArray.size(); i++)
{
SumStrainEnergy += EnergyArray[i]; //Effectively sum of array
//engy[] from CFE.c
}
return SumStrainEnergy;
}
Secondly the C/FORTRAN part: CFE.h, CFE.c
CFE.h:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
void CFE(float density[], float energy[]);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
CFE.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "BCs.h"
#include "EMatrix.h"
#include "Numbering.h"
#include "KMatrix.h"
#include "fg_types.h"
#include "Solve.h"
void CFE(float density[], float energy[])
{
...stuff...
float * dens;
dens = density; //pass pointer of array density[0] in SA.cpp to CFE.c
...more stuff....
float * engy;
engy = energy; //pass pointer of array energy[0] in SA.cpp to CFE.c
***Modify engy in some respects****
}
Essentially the ObjFunction in SA.cpp is called in main.cpp, which contains main().
Is there any visible fault?
Is there any way I can ask the linker to announce what causes / where the error occours in the linking?
Any help will be much appriciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Some of those undefined symbols clearly relate to standard C++ classes (i.e. ostream).
You need to ensure that you've got at least the C++ library linked (-lstdc++).
To debug further:
Run f77, g++, etc, in verbose mode (-v) with single language programs and see which libraries the compiler automatically includes in the link phase for each language
For symbols that are in your own code, use nm to look at both the native language declarations and non-native invocations to determine how they mismatch. There are rules about underscore prefixes, etc, which are commonly applied.
(As far as I can remember, but it's 15 years since I last linked C and Fortran, C symbols are always internally prefixed with an underscore, but Fortran symbols are not).

Answer 2

The main problem is that you're doing the linking step with the F77 compiler, which doesn't link in the C++ standard library by default. Like Alnitak said, specify -lg++ explicitly during linking to get it.
Also, if you are calling C++ functions from C code (or from F77 code), make sure you enclose the prototypes of those functions in an extern "C" {} block so that their symbol names show up in the standardized C form, rather than the mangled C++ form (this restricts you from some things, though, such as overloading). See here for more information.

Answer 3

Usually, you should link a program containing any C++ code with the C++ compiler, adding the Fortran and C libraries to the link line. Further, the standard advice is to make the main() program C++, nor Fortran, since the startup sequences for C++ are different. Make the Fortran code into a function that you call from a minimal C++ main.
int main(void) // Assuming no argument handling - probably incorrect
{
return(fortran_main_program());
}
