[Tclxml-users] Use of the Xerces C++ compiler

[Kevin S. <Kev...@te...>]

All,

I would like to implement a simple interface to the Xerces C++ parser in TCL
(specifically dealing with the generation of an XML file from a DOM structure).

I am working on HP-UX 11, and used the aCC compiler to build the Xerces C++
parser shared library.

I have built a stub TCL package shared library (with only a package init and a
single simple command). This stub makes no reference to the Xerces code.

I am using tclsh 8.3 compiled using an ansi C compiler on HP-UX 11.

If I link my stub TCL package shared library using aCC (the C++ compiler) and
include the Init and the TCL command implementation function in an extern "C"
block, and DONT link the Xerces shared library in during the link phase, then my
stub shared library loads successfully.

However, if I link the Xerces shared library in during the link phase without
changing the object, then I get the following errors on TCL load:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __ZStaticCtorTable_Start (data)  from
/usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __ZStaticCtorTable_End (data)  from
/usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __StaticCtorTable_Start (data)  from
/usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __StaticCtorTable_End (data)  from
/usr/lib/libCsup.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved module for symbol: __shlinit (code)  from
/usr/lib/libstream.2
couldn't load file "../lib/libxmlgenxerces.sl": unresolved symbol name

(where "../lib/libxmlgenxerces.sl" is my stubb TCL package library)

Does anyone have any ideas ?
