I am running the following version of Clang on a Mac OS X 10.12.5 host, installed via Xcode 8.3.3:
$ clang -v
Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)
I have some code that uses the
aligned_alloc()
C11 function to allocate an aligned chunk of memory.I am compiling my binary with the
-std=c11
flag:...
clang -g -Wall -Wextra -mavx -std=c11 -D__USE_POSIX -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDINT_MACROS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -O2 -c my_binary.c -o my_binary.o; \
clang -g -Wall -Wextra -mavx -std=c11 -D__USE_POSIX -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDINT_MACROS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -O2 my_binary.o -o my_binary -lm; \
...
I am including
stdlib.h
and adding POSIX flags. From my_binary.h
:...
#ifndef _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L
#endif /* getline() support */
#ifndef _XOPEN_SOURCE
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600
#endif
#include <stdlib.h>
...
I get the following compilation warning:
my_binary.c:245:15: warning: implicit declaration of function 'aligned_alloc' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] s->data = aligned_alloc(32, s->n * sizeof(*s->data));
Which follows with this error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_aligned_alloc", referenced from:
_bs_initialize_signal_avx in my_binary.o
_bs_copy_signal_avx in my_binary.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [build] Error 1
What am I doing incorrectly with Clang, such that compilation ignores the
std
C11 flag? Or does the version of Clang shipped with Xcode 8.3.3 not support aligned_alloc()?As a positive control, I am able to compile without errors on a CentOS 7 (Linux) host with gcc 5.3.0 and glibc 2.22.
