Hi All,
I'm trying to compile my code with clang (3.1) + libc++ . However I still need to link in libstdc++ for the exceptions support (__cxa_begin_catch, __cxa_end_catch etc). So I added -lstdc++ to the end of the compilation flags, I can see clang gets the flag but when it actually invokes the linker (/usr/bin/ld) it doesnt pass the lib and so the linker fails. Here is how clang is invoked:
clang++ -pthread -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -I/local/mnt/workspace/libcxx/x86_64-centos-linux-clang-libcxx/include -I/local/mnt/workspace/libcxx/x86_64-centos-linux-clang-libcxx/addinclude -fPIC -o tests/area_test tests/area_test.o -L/local/mnt/workspace/libcxx/x86_64-centos-linux-clang-libcxx/lib src/.libs/libhogl.a -lffi -ldl -lrt -L/local/mnt/workspace/boost/lib/x86_64-centos-linux-clang-libcxx -lboost_unit_test_framework -lc++ -lstdc++ -pthread -v
And here is how clang invokes the linker:
clang version 3.1 (branches/release_31)

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
TIA,
