We are trying to link a .cpp main file with a C object(.o) and C++
object(.o) using xlC compiler on IBM-AIX.

Please let us know, if anyone has a solution to this problem described
below.

In g++, These files are compiled and linked well in g++.
But when using xlC, 'Undefined symbol' occurred.

There are 4 files.(All files are zipped..)
-> seedx.h, seedx.c, SEED.cpp(main function included), SEED.h

* source file link:
http://jung0465.cafe24.com/zeroboard...=5& filenum=1


Created objects(.o files) using the following command :
xlC -c seedx.c
xlC -c SEED.cpp

Linking the objects(.o files) :
xlC -o SEED seedx.o SEED.o

This is the error :
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .SeedEncRoundKey__FPUlPUc
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .SeedEncrypt__FPUcPUl
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .SeedDecrypt__FPUcPUl

No joy.

You need to declare your C functions inside of an
extern "C" { }
clause. Otherwise, the C++ code presumes that they are C++ functions.
In other words, this is likely a coding error.

NOt sure about these...standard new and delete operators, so they
ought to get resolved.

Without checking the source code, it's difficult to be any
more precise.

The link above results in an empty page.

Are the next 3 functions supposed to have C++ linkage?

Chances are they should have C linkage (especially given that they
are likely defined in seedx.c).

If so, they probably have incorrect prototype in seedx.h. Correct
prototype should look similar to:

#ifdef __cplustplus
extern "C"
#endif
int SeedEncRoundKey(unsigned long *, unsigned char *);

The other 2 are strange: they are 'operator new[](unsigned long)' and
'operator delete(void *)'; they are defined in /usr/lib/libC.a, and
I do not understand how you ended up with them being undefined.
