TM4C123GH6PM: undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()

Janardhan Pejjai1

Part Number: TM4C123GH6PM

Dear Sir,

I am using GCC compiler version 7.2.1 for TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller with TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295 library ,

I need need to be develop C++ programing with C standard C++17 , without #include <iostream> linking ok ; but with #include <iostream> I am getting linking fault given below

I have written small program given below

#include<stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>

#include "Barcode/Point.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{

cout << "Hello World!\n" ;
return 0;

return 0;

}

kindly help me to resolve the issue

Hi,

Talking to some experts, it is suspected the problem may be related to the TivaWare version supporting this version of GCC compiler for building C++ objects. Sorry for lack of guidance. I really don't have a solution for this. Can you try C?

To resolve the linker error about unresolved symbols when using GCC 7.2.1 you need to add stdc++ to the list of libraries:

However, when I tried that with the following simple code for a TM4C123GH6PM:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    cout << "Hello World!\n" ;
	return 0;
}

Then got the following linker error since the program was too big to fit in flash:

The error about insufficient flash space occurred even with the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections GCC compiler options to place functions / data items in their own sections to help the linker remove unused functions / data items.

I.e. appears the TM4C123GH6PM flash is too small to fit the C++ code required for cout / iostream support.
