Undefined reference to __cxa_guard_acquire and __cxa_guard_release

[jonblack]

When I compile the JsonParserExample I get the following error:

build-mega-atmega2560/example.ino.o: In function `ArduinoJson::JsonArray::invalid()':
example.ino:(.text._ZN11ArduinoJson9JsonArray7invalidEv[ArduinoJson::JsonArray::invalid()]+0xc): undefined reference to `__cxa_guard_acquire'

I remember a similar problem with the Ethernet library a while back and found the issue for it (esp8266/Arduino#574). Perhaps that can help.

It turns out this happens because I'm using https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile to compile the project. When I use the IDE, it works fine.

I would be very interested to know if you find a proper workaround so that I could add it to Compatibility Issues.
It's probably a flag missing in the invocation of the linker.

[jonblack]

I figured out the problem. I had the following in my Makefile:

CXXFLAGS_STD += -std=gnu++11

Removing this fixed the problem.

[bblanchon]

I don't like this because it mean you won't be able to use C++11 features in your code.

Can you try to add this flag instead:

-fno-threadsafe-statics
Do not emit the extra code to use the routines specified in the C++ ABI for thread-safe initialization of local statics. You can use this option to reduce code size slightly in code that doesn't need to be thread-safe.

[jonblack]

Apparently Arduino defaults to c++14 and I was appending gnuc++11, so it got totally messed up. Should be fine without it.

[satishIoT]

CXXFLAGS_STD += -std=gnu++11 ; Could you pl give steps where precisely this correction to be made. Im finding very hard to make out.

Hello Satish,

If you use the Arduino IDE, you need to edit the platform.txt of the board you're using:

• The file is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arduino15\packages\<brand>\hardware\<board>\<version>\platform.txt
• The line to change is compiler.cpp.flags

I edited the FAQ, so that it'll be easier to find.

Please confirm this solves your problem.

Regards,
Benoit

Thanks Benoit , for the speedy reply. Will try out and get back to you at once. regards satish

Hi Benoit Located the path for platform.txt for esp8266 module found the following lines . compiler.cpp.flags=-c -Os -g -mlongcalls -mtext-section-literals -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -falign-functions=4 -std=c++11 -MMD -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections Found the line as compiler.cpp.flags=-c -Os -g -mlongcalls -mtext-section-literals -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -falign-functions=4 -std=c++11 -MMD -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections Removed the line: -std=c++11 compiler.cpp.flags=-c -Os -g -mlongcalls -mtext-section-literals -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -falign-functions=4 -MMD -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections Saved the file and opend Arduino 1.6.4 version IDE From examples ArduinoJson took the file JsonParserExample.ino file and recompiled ...

Satish, you should add -fno-threadsafe-statics and keep -std=c++11.

Explanation:

1. -std=c++11 enables support for the new language features introduced in the C++11 standard, like nullptr
2. -fno-threadsafe-statics disables the mutex around initialization of local static variables, which is useless when you program is single threaded.

[satishIoT]

Aaha finally done compiling :) . Thank you very much had understood totally wrong .

Just to clarify the cause (for me). I was appending -std=gnu++11 to CXXFLAGS_STD. Because it defaults to -std=gnu++14, I had two standards defined which of course isn't gonna work.
