libcxaguard

[anuj_goyal]

I am experimenting with the Intel compiler

$ ldd myexec
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00202000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x002ed000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x0074a000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00e14000)
libcxaguard.so.5 => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x009c0000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00685000)


what is libcxaguard being used for? how can I get this paritcular shared object statically linked into myexec? or is this library allowed to be redistributed with myexec?

[/opt/intel_cc_80/lib]$ nm libcxaguard.so.5

Linking with options such as
icc -static-libcxa
or
icc -i-static

should set up static link of libcxaguard. The effect of those options varies among the compilers for the 3 architectures.

If you have a license which permits distribution of your exec, the dynamic libraries which it requires may be distributed with it.

Hi,

To add to Tim's comment, the file /opt/intel_cc_80/licenses/credist.txt contains the list of files that may be redistributed.
