Title:
math.h functions not recognized when taken with variables as arguments
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When using gcc 4.6.1 to compile a program with functions from math.h,
the compiler does not recognize the functions and issues the following
error message:
undefined reference to `sqrt'
(with sqrt replaced by other functions when applicable) but only if
the functions are called with variables as their arguments.
The code below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main (){
long double x, y, z;
z = 2;
x = sqrt ((double) z);
y = sqrtl ((long double) z);
printf ("%.30Lg\n%.30Lg\n", (long double) x, (long double) y);
return 0;
}
triggers the bug when compiled with the command-line:
gcc -lm test.c
If I change the argument of the functions, so they read sqrt(2) or
sqrtl(2) the compiler does not complain and the program runs correctly
with the expected precision for each of the functions.
The bug also happens if the compiler is run with either -std=c99,
-std=gnu99 or -ansi in addition to the command-line above.
