Dwarf Exception Unwind Info

For 2023 - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

I spent quite a while with one of the delegates on our C and C++ course yesterday looking for the cause of compile / load errors including the text:
Dwarf Exception Unwind Info

The whole thing was very bizarre - from a perfect compile just a minute of two earlier, and with minimal source code changes, the whole thing had gone wild:

  munchkin:cj12 grahamellis$ gcc -o flow2 flow2.cpp

  Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

      "std::ios_base::Init::Init()", referenced from:

            __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in cc23QGz4.o

      "std::ios_base::Init::~Init()", referenced from:

            ___tcf_0 in cc23QGz4.o

  etc

culminating in that dwarf exception message.

Alas - solution turns out to be absurdly simple. I had called up the C compiler rather than the C++ compiler ... but given it C++ code. Change from gcc to g++ and it works perfectly:

  munchkin:cj12 grahamellis$ g++ -o flow2 flow2.cpp

  munchkin:cj12 grahamellis
