Question:

I am learning boost asio now. When I try to compile its example code on ubuntu18.04 with CMake, I use the clang toolset. I got a link error.

undefined reference to symbol '_ZNSt3__15mutex4lockEv'

But if I try to use the clang++ command to compile it instead, it goes well.

clang++ -std=c++2a -stdlib=libc++ -v -fcoroutines-ts -lpthread test.cpp -o test

test.cpp file:

#include <boost/asio/co_spawn.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/detached.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/io_context.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/ip/tcp.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/signal_set.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/write.hpp>
#include <cstdio>
using boost::asio::awaitable;
using boost::asio::co_spawn;
using boost::asio::detached;
using boost::asio::use_awaitable;
using boost::asio::ip::tcp;
namespace this_coro = boost::asio::this_coro;

awaitable<void> echo(tcp::socket socket) {
  try {
    char data[1024];
    for (;;) {
      std::size_t n = co_await socket.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data),
                                                      use_awaitable);
      co_await async_write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(data, n), use_awaitable);
    }
  } catch (std::exception &e) {
    std::printf("echo Exception: %s\n", e.what());
  }
}

awaitable<void> listener() {
  auto executor = co_await this_coro::executor;
  tcp::acceptor acceptor(executor, {tcp::v4(), 55555});
  for (;;) {
    tcp::socket socket = co_await acceptor.async_accept(use_awaitable);
    co_spawn(
        executor,
        [socket = std::move(socket)]() mutable {
          return echo(std::move(socket));
        },
        detached);
  }
}

int main() {
  try {
    boost::asio::io_context io_context(1);

    boost::asio::signal_set signals(io_context, SIGINT, SIGTERM);
    signals.async_wait([&](auto, auto) { io_context.stop(); });

    co_spawn(io_context, listener, detached);

    io_context.run();
  } catch (std::exception &e) {
    std::printf("Exception: %s\n", e.what());
  }
}

Not sure in it, I think the reason of the error is in CMakeLists.txt:

add_compile_options("-std=c++2a" "-stdlib=libc++" "-v" "-fcoroutines-ts")

-stdlib=libc++ is not a compiler option, it is a linker option, so it is not used, you can see it in the compile result. Update this line with two lines below:

add_compile_options("-std=c++2a" "-v" "-fcoroutines-ts")
add_link_options("-stdlib=libc++")

I hope it will help.

  • Sorry for that. I just found the answer at night and I did not see you answer. I have delete my answer. – l0n0l May 31 '20 at 10:26
