gSystem->Load() Vs. R__LOAD_LIBRARY with ACLiC

I have a library libABC.so which I want to use in a script which I run like so:
root -x myscript.cxx+
In my .rootlogon.C, I have
gSystem->Load("libABC.so");
Everything works as expect.

But now, I don’t want to modify .rootlogon.C. Instead I want to use R__LOAD_LIBRARY inside the myscript.cxx like so:

#include "ABC.h"
R__LOAD_LIBRARY(libABC.so)

This fails to link the library. How can I get same effect as having gSystem->Load("libABC.so") in rootlogon.C?

Create a rootmap file for libABC.so, see e.g. Rootmap generation with rootcling (v6.00.00)

This is not a root-based library. There is no LinkDef. I am just using the library inside an ACLiC compiled script.

I just want to tell root (inside the script to be compiled) to load the library without explicitly putting gSystem->Load("libABC.so") in my rootlogon.C

EDIT:

That is, how do tell root to load the library before it compiles it? I thought that was why R__LOAD_LIBRARY exists?

Example:

Using fmt (compiled with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES=ON).

#include <iostream>

#include <fmt/core.h>
#include <fmt/ostream.h>
R__LOAD_LIBRARY(libfmt.so)

void fmt_test() {
  fmt::print(std::cout, "{:>5.3f}, {:>5.3f}\n", 1.0,2.0);
}

Then running

root -x fmt_test.cxx++

Gives many undefined symbol errors.

Adding gSystem->Load("libfmt.so"); to my $HOME/.rootlogon.C (which I want to avoid doing!) and everything works just fine (even without R__LOAD_LIBRARY).

Is this a bug in R__LOAD_LIBRARY?

Note that you can have a “rootlogon.C” file in your “current directory” (i.e. where you work with “myscript.cxx” and/or “fmt_test.cxx”).

Out of curiosity … have you tried to put R__LOAD_LIBRARY(libfmt) as the very first line of your “fmt_test.cxx” macro (i.e. before any #include)?

Yes I have. Still no go. These don’t work either:

R__LOAD_LIBRARY(libfmt) 
R__LOAD_LIBRARY(libfmt.so)
R__LOAD_LIBRARY($HOME/lib/libfmt.so)
R__LOAD_LIBRARY(/home/whit/lib/libfmt.so)

The whole point is to avoid the rootlogon.C files. Actually it would be neat if they could just be embedded at the top of root scripts. For example, something like this:

#ifdef __ROOTLOGON__
{
gSystem->Load("libfmt.so");
}
#endif

#include <iostream>

#include <fmt/core.h>
#include <fmt/ostream.h>

void fmt_test() {
  fmt::print(std::cout, "{:>5.3f}, {:>5.3f}\n", 1.0,2.0);
}

EDIT:

A possible work-around is

root -e "gSystem->Load(\"libfmt.so\");" -x test_fmt.cxx++

which I don’t like but it works because TRint processes the input list in order.

@Axel … Well, I played with this, too.

Without the “rootlogon.C” file (i.e. without prior gSystem->Load("libfmt");) …

… the cling JIT-ed code works fine:

[...]$ root -q -l fmt_test.cxx

… but ACLiC fails (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / x86_64, gcc 4.8.4, ROOT 6.14/00):

Aha! Thank you, now I see my mistake :blush:. I was still using ACLiC (i.e. postfixed “+” or “++” commands) because that is what was needed in the past. But R__LOAD_LIBRARY is cling macro, and now that all the clinks (cling-kinks) have been worked out I can stop my old-timer habits and do things the easy way. :smile:

Thanks for your help!

Actually, I also expected ACLiC (via “rootcling” / “rootcint”, which are automatically executed) to respect “R__LOAD_LIBRARY”, “R__ADD_INCLUDE_PATH” and “R__ADD_LIBRARY_PATH” macros. Apparently, it is not the case in the current ROOT (e.g. 6.14/08 and 6.16/00).

This topic was automatically closed 14 days after the last reply. New replies are no longer allowed.

@pcanal - should we extend ACLiC to link R__LOAD_LIBRARY'ed libraries?

This has always been the plan. It requires to update rootlcing to ‘understand’ R__LOAD_LIBRARY and to pass the information down when --lib-list-prefix is used (by ACLiC).
