how to compile C code with pthread and lpq

598 views Asked by At

I have been trying to compile a very simple code that contains postgres, pthread and mutexes. now when I do it with pthread alone every thing is fine, same when I do it with postgress alone! but when I try to compile the complete code I'm running into stupid probems!

gcc -o pleaseWork uploadData.c -I/usr/include/postgresql -lpthread -lpq 

I get :

/tmp/ccitU5mG.o: In function `increaseQueryNum':
uploadData.c:(.text+0x5): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol `counterMutex' defined in COMMON section in /tmp/ccitU5mG.o

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

when I run :

gcc -o omido  -I/usr/include/postgresql -lpq  -lpthread uploadData.c

I get :

/tmp/ccdXHrz3.o: In function `main':
uploadData.c:(.text+0x5df): undefined reference to `PQconnectdb'
uploadData.c:(.text+0x5f5): undefined reference to `PQstatus'

uploadData.c:(.text+0x6fe): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
uploadData.c:(.text+0x727): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

the closest thing I have got to a compilation was (in terms of number of errors) :

 gcc -o pleaseWork  -I/usr/include/postgresql  -pthread  -lpthread -lpq uploadData.c

which results in :

/tmp/ccg6RbUk.o: In function `main':
uploadData.c:(.text+0x5df): undefined reference to `PQconnectdb'
uploadData.c:(.text+0x5f5): undefined reference to `PQstatus'
uploadData.c:(.text+0x613): undefined reference to `PQfinish'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

i don't know if it helps but here's the same command with -v:

no luck so far :( does any body know what is wrong here?

here is a simplified version of my code :

    increaseStackNum();

}

    decreaseStackNum();

    for( i = 0 ; i <12; i++ ){

        return -1;

    pthread_create(&p2,NULL,reader,&FilesCount);

This code failed to build as-is for me, due to errors such as:

uploadData.c:25:(.text+0x5): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol `counterMutex' defined in COMMON section in /tmp/ccfzQ53S.o
uploadData.c:27:(.text+0x21): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol `counterMutex' defined in COMMON section in /tmp/ccfzQ53S.o

I solved that by reducing the stack array by a few orders of magnitude. Your linker errors could be related, as I had no trouble linking the example after making that change.

You should compile your code with -Wall. There are several critical bugs, such as a non-void function that doesn't return a value, being used as input to pthread_create.

The first errors:

Since it would incur testing I am only pointing towards ideas that came immediately into my mind. I looked into header files and recognized a "typedef" for an "union". Therefore, you have to provide a proper type of that union. In order to lock all the mutexes you have to point towards any valid data.

Second errors:

"-lpq" must be provided. It points towards addresses of library functions. Therefore reinstallation of the development library should solve it.

Testing:

gcc -o pleaseWork uploadData.c -lpthread -lpq

I was currently trying to compile my examples by means of a similar command. It succeeded. Therefore, it seems to be an installation task.
