LLVM bitcode does not find function - function

I went forward and compiled an existing c code via llvm-gcc -emit-llvm -c to llvm bitcode. The c program consisted of four modules which I built to one big bitcode each via llvm-ld. Then I tried to merge these 4 bitcode files to one via llvm-ld GE.bc GA.bc SD.bc SH.bc -o prog which works without complaint.
Trying to execute the bitcode though it complains:
LLVM ERROR: Program used external function 'myFunction' which could not be resolved!
The thing is myFunction should be defined in SD.bc and used also in GA.bc.
But it's not to find in SD.bc - does llvm-ld skip all definitions that are not used!?
My OS is Linux and I use llvm version 2.6.

As a note llvm is on version 2.9 with 3.0 approaching. You should really upgrade.

Perl to mysql connectivity on Windows 10

I have a process that works in the production environment, that I need to get working on my local Windows 10 environment. It is a Perl script that calls mySql stored procedures.
I have installed ActivePerl 5.26.3 (64-Bit) from Active State. When I attempt to execute the script I get an error:
Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm (you may need to install the DBD::mysql module)...
So, I went to https://metacpan.org/release/DBD-mysql and found instructions that indicated I needed to do the following:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install DBD::mysql
But, when I type the first command I get a message stating:
It looks like you don't have a C compiler and make utility installed. Trying to install dmake and the MinGW gcc compiler using the Perl Package Manager. This may take several minutes....
Then it goes thru what appears to be a successful installation. So I type in the second command. It scrolls by for a while, but ends with:
Failed during this command
DVEEDEN/DBD-mysql-4.050.tar.gz: writemakefile NO 'C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe MakeFile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site' returned status 512
Not sure how to proceed.
For ActivePerl, use their package manager PPM.
Or, use Strawberry Perl for a more unixy experience. It comes with all the stuff to compile and install modules.
No matter which Perl you use, on Windows or elsewhere, modules typically need to be compiled the same. Mixing compilers (such as Visual Studio and gcc) or options can lead to incompatible binaries. The same might happen across Perl versions too. That means to use the same Perl (and compilation method) for everything in your project).
The cpan utility doesn't figure out those things for you. It does whatever it's configured to do.
For what it's worth, the cpan method to install modules can be simpler:
$ cpan DBD::mysql

Octave and warning "ARPACK library found, but does not seem to work properly; disabling eigs function"

Situation
I work with Ubuntu 14.04. I am building GNU Octave 4.2.1 from source with GNU 6.3.0. This version of Octave is quite new, but I see the issue arising also when trying to compile older Octave releases (down to 3.8.1).
I configure the build of Octave with
${sourcedir}/configure --prefix=/opt/octave/4.2.1 \
--with-java-homedir=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java \
--with-java-libdir=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server
Issue
The compilation is successful but the undesired warning shows up
configure: WARNING: ARPACK library found, but does not seem to work properly; disabling eigs function
I would rather like to have the eigs() function in place.
Information
I have built ARPACK-ng myself with the same compiler. All tests in the test suite (make check) are passed. The environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH point to the ARPACK library directory as intended. The configure file of Octave recognizes that location correctly, as seen before.
Besides, I get the same message if I compile Octave in another computer where ARPACK is installed natively (libarpack2 and libarpack2-dev version 3.1.5-2). It does not change a thing if I also install the related extra libraries libarpack++2c2a and libarpack++2-dev using the package repository. So the issue appears to be independent of the origin of the ARPACK files.
The part of the configure.ac file of Octave that throws this error is
### Check for ARPACK library.
save_LIBS="$LIBS"
LIBS="$LAPACK_LIBS $BLAS_LIBS $FLIBS $LIBS"
OCTAVE_CHECK_LIB([arpack], ARPACK,
[ARPACK not found. The eigs function will be disabled.],
[],
[dseupd],
[Fortran 77], [don't use the ARPACK library, disable eigs function],
[warn_arpack=
OCTAVE_CHECK_LIB_ARPACK_OK(
[AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ARPACK, 1, [Define to 1 if ARPACK is available.])],
[warn_arpack="ARPACK library found, but does not seem to work properly; disabling eigs function"])])
LIBS="$save_LIBS"
The farthest I go in tracing back the issue is that the subroutine OCTAVE_CHECK_LIB_ARPACK_OK issuing the warning lives in the file ${octave_source}/m4/acinclude.m4. It is written in m4 language, which I don't know
Question
Is it possible to understand why ARPACK 'does not seem to work properly'?
Is there any workaround for this?
Is this a false alarm or a bug?

can't find any solution for running f2py correctly on my windows 7 machine

Can someone pinpoint where I'm doing wrong, PLEASE? I'm so exhausted. I installed MinGW 4.7, python2.7.8, numpy 1.7.1 and scipy0.13.2 to an Anaconda (32bit) environment in Windows7.
Also, for user enviroment variables, I set
C_INCLUDE_PATH:
D:\Anaconda2\envs\arc103\MinGW\i686-w64-mingw32\include
Path (User variable):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS code\bin;D:\Anaconda2\Library\bin;D:\Anaconda2\envs\arc103\MinGW\bin
Tying the following commands in Anaconda Prompt
"f2py -c --help-fcompiler" outputs "... Fortran compilers found:
--fcompiler=gnu95 GNU Fortran 95 compiler (4.7.0) ...."
"f2py -c --help-compiler" outputs
"List of available compilers: ...", not specifically compilers found though.
Running "f2py -c fib1.f -m fib1" according to "NumPy v1.12.dev0 Manual" gives me lots of error as below:

Sorry for the mess. I have spent almost a few months finding out the fix, but it's too hard for me and all gone to no avail. It would be hugely appreciated if you can help me out. Thanks.
Since this is a couple month old, I am not sure if these tips will still help, but I found when building a Fortran to Python module on Win 10, that only compiling for 32bit worked, and you need to use a signature file, i.e. something along the lines of:
f2py.py -c cuncsd.pyf cuncsd.f
Instead of using the i686-w64-mingw32 toolchain I used a straight mingw32 one (to reduce the risk that I accidentally end up with anything 64bit).
I also found that you need to install a special Visual Studio for Python instance as described here:
Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 3.4
If you are using Python 2.7 this VSC version should do the trick for you, only newer version (3.5, 3.6) are left out at this time.
For reference here is my complete f2py invocation on the console that I ended up using (neither python nor f2py were on the execution PATH):
python C:\Python34\Scripts\f2py.py -c cuncsd.pyf --opt="-frecursive -fmax-stack-var-size=66560" cuncsd.f -llapack -lrefblas -ltmglib
This particular module depends on 32 bit LAPCK shared libraries that I compiled previously, and we found it even works on XP systems.
I later went back and tried to compile this for 64 bit, but eventually gave up, when I always encountered ld errors. I think going forward for Windows 10 it will be much easier to use the embedded Ubuntu to execute and extend Python.

How to compile using uclibc?

Hi all I have installed buildroot toolchain and am able to compile simple "Hello World" program which runs on uClibc based chroot. However I am confused how to do so for programs that use ./configure as how to ask it to use the uclibc based toolchain and not the glibc based toolchain present in my system.
My OS is Fedora and it is i386 based machine.I want to compile programs using uClibc for the same platform.
buildroot contains the package directory where there are numerous examples how to do it
Just set CC=PATH_TO_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC_GCC etc.
And you don't need to use chroot:
xxx/buildrootxxx/output/host/bin/xxxxx-gcc works fine, it would search the headers and libs in its own directory (like xxx/buildrootxxx/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/*)

MySQL++ Application error at launch

I compiled MySQL++ with no issues. When I launched some of the executables (resetdb.exe and simple1.exe) they suggest to run to test if the installation has been successful, the first error I got was that libmysql.dll was missing.
Adding its path to the PATH environment variable did not fix the problem, even after launching a new command prompt; I had to copy the DLL in the directory where MySQL++ executables are.
Now the DLL is found, but I get this error:
simple1.exe - Application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
Click OK to close the application.
even launching from the command line, I get no more information than these.
Thank you for any help!
MySQL 5.5 -
MySQL++ 3.0.9 -
Windows 7 64 bits -
MINGW32 -
GCC 4.4.0
0xC000007B is a Windows error that means the executable is corrupted. It could refer either to simple1.exe or to one of the DLLs it's linking against.
Some reasons this could happen:
You're mixing toolchains in an incompatible way. In your case, you may have built simple1.exe using pieces built by MinGW GCC and pieces built by Visual C++. MinGW should be compatible with any pure C DLL built by Visual C++, including the MySQL C API DLL. However, you may have other pieces interfering. MinGW isn't compatible with VC++ at the C++ level, but then, it shouldn't have linked at all if this were your problem.
You didn't follow the MySQL C API import library build steps in README-MinGW.txt. You either missed a step, or skipped it entirely and are trying to use the import library that shipped with MySQL.
In your previous gyrations, you ended up with a corrupt object file, which got linked in. Try saying make clean all at the top level of MySQL++ to force a complete rebuild.
You're mixing versions of MySQL or MySQL++. If you have more than one version of each on the system, make sure you're consistent in their use. That is, build the C API import library from the same DLL you run the programs against, use exrun.bat to run the examples to ensure you're using the just-built version of the MySQL++ DLL instead of another you have in your PATH, etc.
Additionally, I note that you're using an older version of MySQL++. If you were on Linux, I could understand that as some distributions still ship with 3.0.9. But since you have to build MySQL++ from source with MinGW, I don't see why you're not using 3.1.0. Did you get a binary build from somewhere?
As for your PATH problem, did you restart the MinGW shell after doing this? PATH updates don't affect running programs; they keep the value they saw when they started.
