Std::string linkage problem

ROOT
1

Hello,
I found some linkage problem when I’m trying to execute macro which contains std::string.
Example macro:

#include <string>
void test() {std::string st{"test"};}

And error log:

[ROOT/v6-18-04-40] ~ > root -l
root [0] .x test.C 
root [1] .x test.C 
IncrementalExecutor::executeFunction: symbol '_ZStL19__constant_string_pIcEbPKT_' unresolved while linking [cling interface function]!
You are probably missing the definition of bool std::__constant_string_p<char>(char const*)
Maybe you need to load the corresponding shared library?

Cheers,
Artur.

I do not see this problem on Mac with ROOT master (even without the #include):

% cat ar.C
void ar() {std::string st{"test"};}
% root

On with machine are you running ?

Try to run it twice. Second run causes linkage error.
I executed it on lxplus.

Cheers,

Ah yes I did not noticed you ran it twice, sorry. I see the error now on Mac with the latest ROOT version. It seems a Cling issue therefore our Cling experts @Axel and @vvassilev should know the answer.

Indeed, one of the usual unloading issues :-/ @jalopezg can you add this to your test arsenal?

Hi! Sure; taking note of it! :slight_smile:

About running macros twice not working, see:

Possible workaround: root -l -b -q test.C && root -l -b -q test.C.

Cheers,
Enrico
