C++ std routines

**Mario F.** · 07-22-2006

I don't know siavoshkc.
From all I know, the lib is there just for our convenience. Because it is precompiled we do have it added to our project at link-time. But this is just for convenience. It could be plain code added to our project at compile time.

I was waiting on someone more informed to say something else.

**siavoshkc** · 07-22-2006

Right, we can add plain code to our project. But we don't have the plain code of cin.get(). It is in DLLs and libs. I am sure about this.

I have a research project for you and Mario that should prove educational. Go and find out what the difference is between template and non-template libraries in terms of linking with a single source file. In other words, barring compiler tricks with the header, find out whether the vector library is resolved at compile-time or link-time in this code:

Code:

#include <vector>

int main()
{
  vector<int> v;

  for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
    v.push_back ( i );
}

Once you have that answer, go and find out how some compilers implement and load standard headers and see if your previous result still applies. Finally, and this is where the project is relevant, determine if the vector library can be replaced with the iostream library to the same effect and you'll have your answer.

Enjoy!

I don't know why this article is going so complex. When we use a function or object that we have only its declaration in a header file and not its definition. Compiler also doesn't have its definition. Compiler generates an .obj file that has external references in it. In this time we have some obj files that are passed to the linker. Linker sees the external references and searches through all libs an objs to find the symbols needed. Now we have three conditions:
1> Linker finds only one object with that name and puts it in our obj
2> Linker can't find such object. Unresolved External Symbol error is the result.
3> Linker finds more than one object with that name. An error again, Duplicate definition.

After this if no error was generated during linking phase, linker makes an exe or DLL file. Ready to execute.
Linking to DLLs are also done by linker.
Some macros or functions maybe defined in headers, so its to compiler to make them work not the linker.

Prelude, what should I do exactly?

**siavoshkc** · 07-22-2006

I tested vector. Resolved in link time.

**CornedBee** · 07-22-2006

Compiler? Settings? In most scenarios, your test results are probably wrong.

What Prelude is alluding to is right in its way, but still not specific enough. This is something that might differ from compiler to compiler, even from standard library to standard library. In addition VC++ has a weird setup that blurs the line between compiler and linker, so the answer might not make sense anyway.

**siavoshkc** · 07-22-2006

Test results are wrong?
I disabled linker and watched the output text and see the unresolved references that one of them was a vector related object.

What can be wrong with it?

**CornedBee** · 07-23-2006

Can you show me what you did? I'd be interested in your procedure and results.

By wrong, I mean that I don't think your results would be the same for most compilers.

**siavoshkc** · 07-23-2006

I copied an pasted Prelude code into my IDE and compiled it. What did you expect? An error. So I added using namespace std;
I disabled incremental linking.
First I set an option VERBOSE for linker and show include for compiler. Linker outputed all its operations in IDE output window. Take look at it:

No linker errors involving vector. That code was instantiated from templates and available in the object files. Your interpretation was quite simply wrong.

Of course, you have other errors. std::vector seems to be implemented in terms of the non-template class _Container_base, which is missing its implementation. The specialization of basic_string with <char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > seems to be in the library as well, and thus is missing its implementation.
But no errors involving std::vector itself.

I feel there is a point that I can't understand how can vector resolved by compiler when it doesn't have its source code?
I commented two lines of the program that were using vector

Code:

#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
 // vector<int> v;

  for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ );
   // v.push_back ( i );
}

And recompiled it. There were only three link errors

Code:

ConTest.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_Shutdown
ConTest.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_InitBase
LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mainCRTStartup

So all the other errors are because of using vector.

It does. That's the point. Look into your compiler's files, particularly <vector>.
I don't have VS 2005, but in 2003, my vector file contains the complete implementation of std::vector, which in turn derives from std::_Vector_val, which is also completely contained.

You'll probably find that in your file, it is implemented in terms of _Container_base or whatever it's called. That's not the case here.

The unresolved externals come from functions your vector implementation uses, not from the implementation itself.

**siavoshkc** · 07-24-2006

If vector is implemented in the header, with no doubt it is resolved by compiler.

**siavoshkc** · 07-27-2006

I traced the execution of a code using std::cout, it was implemented in header files and some asm files.

**CornedBee** · 07-27-2006

Still, don't forget that these results are compiler-specific, or even standard library-specific. The C++ standard specifies a feature called external templates, which would allow template implementations to reside in source files instead of headers.
Due to the complexity of the feature, though, no compiler I'm aware of fully implements it. But if one did, it could use a standard library where the linker resolves std::vector.
