Suspicious Optimization Behavior - LNK2019 inline virtual destructors

I have following code:

//ivirtualbase.hh
#pragma once
#ifdef _build_dll
#define DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
class IVirtualBase
{
public:
    virtual ~IVirtualBase(){};
    virtual void speak() = 0;
};

//virtualclass.hh
#pragma once
#ifdef _build_dll
#define DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
class IVirtualBase
{
public:
    virtual ~IVirtualBase(){};
    virtual void speak() = 0;
};

//concreteclass.hh
#pragma once
#include "ivirtualbase.hh"
#include "virtualclass.hh"

class DLLEXPORT ConcreteClass : public VirtualClass
{
public:
    ConcreteClass(int nn);
    void speak();
    void eat();
    virtual ~ConcreteClass();
private:
    int n;
};

//concreteclass.cpp
#include "concreteclass.hh"
#include <iostream>
ConcreteClass::ConcreteClass(int nn)
{
    n = nn;
}
void ConcreteClass::eat()
{
    n = n - 1;
    std::cout << "Eating 1 n now is " << n << std::endl;
}
void ConcreteClass::speak()
{
    std::cout << "n is " << n << std::endl;
}
ConcreteClass::~ConcreteClass()
{
    std::cout << "destroyed" << std::endl;
}

This code is compiled in a DLL using the following flags:

Compiler:

/GS /Qopenmp /GA /Qansi-alias /Wall /QxHost /Zc:wchar_t /O1 /Qintel-extensions- /Ob2 
/Fd"x64\Release\vc120.pdb" /D "_MBCS" /D "_build_dll" /D "_WINDLL"

/ManifestFile:"x64\Release\Project1.dll.intermediate.manifest" /OPT:ICF /NOLOGO /TLBID:1 

Library compiles and links without error.

The test program however fails to link

#include "concreteclass.hh"
int main()
{
    ConcreteClass c(10);
    c.speak();
    c.eat();
    return 0;
}

Compiled with:

The error is

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __cdecl IVirtualBase::~IVirtualBase(void)" (??1IVirtualBase@@UEAA@XZ) referenced in function main

Disabling optimization makes the error disappear.

Can you please comment on this behavior?

Thank you

Take a look at you test case, that is review it, again. There is something wrong with declarations for your interface and the base class ( headers ivirtualbase.hh and virtualclass.hh ).

There are compilation errors: ... Error E2238 TestApp.cpp 25: Multiple declaration for 'IVirtualBase' Error E2344 TestApp.cpp 9: Earlier declaration of 'IVirtualBase' ... if I try yo compile your test case as is. You've pasted the header file for interface twice.

Here is the output after I've applied a couple of corrections to your sources: ... n is 10 Eating 1 n now is 9 destroyed ... Is that expected output? PS: I think you need to review two topics of C++ language: Why virtual destructors are needed and Fundamentals of Run Time Binding ( aka Late Binding ) of C++ objects.

Sergey,

thank you for taking the time to look into this. I apologize for misleading example.

I have attached the complete example.

If I use /fast i get the following error:

Hi Sergey,

by changing the code in main.cpp to

#include "concreteclass.hh"
int main()
{
    ConcreteClass* c = new ConcreteClass(10);
    c->speak();
    c->eat();
    delete c;
    return 0;
}

I get the unresolved symbol no matter what

I looked at the assembly generated by vc12 and it calls

call        qword ptr [__imp_??_DConcreteClass@@QEAAXXZ]
;vc12
;public: void __cdecl ConcreteClass::`vbase destructor'(void) __ptr64

Intel generates the following:

call        qword ptr [__imp_??1ConcreteClass@@UEAA@XZ]
;intel
;public: virtual __cdecl ConcreteClass::~ConcreteClass(void) __ptr64
mov         rcx,rdi
call        ??1IVirtualBase@@UEAA@XZ

Attached are the asm files. I did try with /Qms2 but it did not make any difference.

However, by dll-exporting the interfaces, i was able to link the program.

// class DLLEXPORT VirtualClass : public virtual IVirtualBase
// class DLLEXPORT IVirtualBase

Is the DLL export really necessary in this case?

Teodor

Also, removing the virtual inheritance (class VirtualClass : public IVirtualBase) makes the problem disappear.

I attached ASM files with and without virtual inheritance produced both by Intel and Visual Studio

More updates, using /Qinline-dllimport- option resolves the problem.

Can someone please provide more details about what exactly happened?

>>...Can someone please provide more details about what exactly happened? I'm not sure that this is a bug and 'm surprised that you had some troubles. If we introduce a term C++ Compiler Strictness then I would rate: - Microsoft C++ compiler as a Soft C++ compiler, - Intel C++ compiler as a Strict C++ compiler, and - MinGW C++ compiler as a Very Strict C++ compiler. For example, Microsoft C++ compiler compiles the following C++ template construction: ... template < class T, RTint iDataType > class TMatrixSet : public TDataSet< T, iDataType > { public: ... if( m_ptData1D == RTnull ) { ... } ... }; ... but, MinGW C++ compiler fails and the code needs to be changed to: ... template < class T, RTint iDataType > class TMatrixSet : public TDataSet< T, iDataType > { public: ... if( TDataSet< T, iDataType >::m_ptData1D == RTnull ) { ... } ... }; ... since m_ptData1D member is declared in TDataSet template class, and I personally prefer that strict version.

Yes, it is always needed for all exported from a DLL C++ classes. The same applies to all exported from a DLL C functions and external global ( static ) variables.

Sergey,

With the code i have i get the following behavior when using the compilation flags (implementations were removed):

/GR /Wall /Oi /MD /EHa /nologo /Ob2 /c /Qopenmp /Qansi-alias /Qstd=c++11 /Qparallel 
/fast /D"__INTEL_COMPILER=1700" /D_MBCS /D_build_dll /D_WINDLL
class DLLEXPORT ConcreteClass : public VirtualClass
class VirtualClass : public IVirtualBase
class IVirtualBase

code compiles and links without any problem

class DLLEXPORT ConcreteClass : public VirtualClass
class VirtualClass : public virtual IVirtualBase
class IVirtualBase

there is linking error, destructor for IVirtualBase is not found

class DLLEXPORT ConcreteClass : public virtual VirtualClass
class VirtualClass : public virtual IVirtualBase
class IVirtualBase

both base destructors are not found, linking error

I assume that if everything needs to be DLL exported, then i would get the same linking error. The linking error does not appear if optimization is disabled.

As I was mentioning, adding /Qinline-dllimport- to compilation flags leads to correct linking. If, as you mention, the compiler is strict, I would expect to get at least warnings. There are no meaningful warnings in this case (compiled with /Wall /Qeffc++).

I see two options: there is a bug in the optimizer or the code is not correct, however the diagnostics are poor.

Regards,

Teodor

Your test C++ codes are Too fundamental.

I am not sure I follow. If the code is not correct, shouldn't the compiler tell me something?

1. I consider your codes ( from Post #1 ) as correct codes. 2. Intel C++ compiler did Not detect any syntax errors during parsing phase and did Not display any error or warning messages. 3. However, it looks like there is an internal problem with Intel C++ compiler and binary codes are Not generated properly ( related to VTable or something like that / I could be wrong here ). Also, Did you try W5 ( highest Warning Level ) compilation option to show all warning messages? Take into account that Wall compilation option does Not display all warnings. But W5 displays all warnings.

Anyone from Intel care to comment about this?

Thank you

Regarding a Warning 2304: >>D:\temp\intel\test\concreteclass.hh(7): warning #2304: non-explicit constructor with single argument may >>cause implicit type conversion ConcreteClass( int nn ); There is No a default constructor in your ConcreteClass class.

There is No a default constructor in your ConcreteClass class.

I agree, but I fail to see how this is related to the linking error (destructor is missing).

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __cdecl IVirtualBase::~IVirtualBase(void)" (??1IVirtualBase@@UEAA@XZ) referenced in function main

Hi, Teodor

I tried your test case in Post#5 and cannot reproduce the linker issue with icl 17.0.

Here's my output:

I tried both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2015. I don't have Visual Studio 2013 environment though.

Were you using 17.0 Beta compiler or the initial produce release?

Thanks.

Hi, Teodor

I tried Visual Studio 2013 and ICL 17.0 on another system and still cannot reproduce the error.

Thanks.

Hi Yolanda,

I have this error on two systems with two versions of ICL:

Attached are my settings. Please let me know if you need more information.

Teodor
