Description

This is the original issue found is reproduced with the following program:

richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ cat tabs.cc
#include <stdlib.h>
void tabs(int64_t foo)
{
    int64_t bar = abs(foo);
}
richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ /opt/gcc-4.8.1/bin/g++ -c tabs.cc
tabs.cc: In function ‘void tabs(int64_t)’:
tabs.cc:4:23: error: call of overloaded ‘abs(int64_t&)’ is ambiguous
  int64_t bar = abs(foo);
                       ^
tabs.cc:4:23: note: candidates are:
In file included from /usr/include/stdlib.h:37:0,
                 from tabs.cc:1:
/usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h:165:16: note: long int std::abs(long int)
  inline long   abs(long _l) { return labs(_l); }
                ^
/usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h:119:12: note: int std::abs(int)
 extern int abs(int);
            ^
richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ /opt/gcc-4.8.1/bin/g++ -m64 -c tabs.cc

There is (on i386) a first issue of a problematic definition when uint64_t (here long long) is used.

Then, by simply copying the .cc to a .c and trying again with gcc

richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ cp tabs.cc tabs.c
richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ /opt/gcc-4.8.1/bin/gcc -c tabs.c
tabs.c:2:11: error: unknown type name ‘int64_t’
 void tabs(int64_t foo)
           ^
richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ 
richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ /opt/gcc-4.8.1/bin/gcc -m64 -c tabs.c
tabs.c:2:11: error: unknown type name ‘int64_t’
 void tabs(int64_t foo)
           ^

Here the ball is completely dropped.

outputting via '-E -dD -o <file>' indicates what is determined by the compiler.

Clang gives informative output as well:

richard@omnis:/home/richard/src$ clang++ -m32 -c tabs.cc

The output when using `-E -dD |egrep 'STDC|LP|LONGLONG|INT64|int64'` is interesting.
Is there also a gcc compiler issue in not defining int64_t that could explain the clang difference with 'c'?

I believe this is relatively recent.
Just tried on oi_151a9 with gcc44:

It appears that the 'long long' defs are missing for a number of functions.

For example, the following gets over the initial issue stated:

So the solution may not be so rudimentary...

Updated by Richard PALO over 8 years ago

So far, the most portable "workaround " found seems to be
resorting to c++ includes cstdlib + cmath as in the following:

#include <stdlib.h>

#if defined(__sun) && defined(__cplusplus)
#include        <cstdlib>
#include        <cmath>
#endif

void tabs(int64_t foo)
{
        int64_t bar = abs(foo);
}

This pulls in:

# 173 "/opt/gcc-4.8.1/include/c++/4.8.1/cstdlib" 3
  inline long long
  abs(long long __x) { return __builtin_llabs (__x); }

That's enough from me now, hopefully the math masters have a durable solution
that works for both i386 and x86_64 out of the box.

This looks from a distance like the kind of thing that fix-includes may affect. If you're going to do comparitive testing, you should make certain that you're always using our headers, only.

That would involve deleting or moving aside the include-fixed directories of the various compilers.

Updated by Richard PALO over 8 years ago

PM: clang doesn't use gnu-c's fix-includes as far as I know. Also, I very quickly checked /opt/gcc-4.8.1/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.8.1/include-fixed (as well as the others used) to see if something might have come up...

just for completeness, adding #include <stdint.h> fixes the build on 3.4.3.
I needed the same for FreeBSD, that is why the test program is updated as follows:

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int64_t tabs(int64_t foo)
{
    return    abs(foo);
}

Can anybody answer this?:

 Marc Glisse 2014-11-09 11:55:02 UTC

long long (or int64_t) is not part of C++03, so solaris headers don't provide the overload. 
We complete the set of overloads in c* headers, but there is a well known bug that we don't
provide wrappers for the *.h headers. It would be interesting to see how Oracle is updating
the solaris headers for C++11.

except this isn't quite right since iso/stdlib_c99.h defines already llabs() correctly, but
scoping rules would prevent the abs() overload from working since stdlib_iso.h is included
prior to stdlib_{c99,c11}.h

Perhaps it is possible to legally rearrange things?
