undefined reference to `memcpy'?

Edit: Solved.
Edit: Not Solved, I was in debug mode.:

Hi all, I am not sure why this error is displayed.
I have memcpy in my program as below.

Code: Select all

extern "C" void* memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t len);

This error happens in the following code, using the struct.

Code: Select all

template<QWORD Size> struct QuickCopy
{
	BYTE Data[Size];

	static FIL void Copy(QWORD Destination, QWORD Source);
	static FIL void Copy(void* Destination, void* Source);
};

If I switch the commented lines below it works fine.

Code: Select all

template<QWORD Size> void QuickCopy<Size>::Copy(QWORD Destination, QWORD Source)
{
	//memcpy((void*)Destination, (void*)Source, Size);
	*(QuickCopy<Size>*)Destination = *(QuickCopy<Size>*)Source;
}
template<QWORD Size> void QuickCopy<Size>::Copy(void* Destination, void* Source)
{
	//memcpy((void*)Destination, (void*)Source, Size);
	*(QuickCopy<Size>*)Destination = *(QuickCopy<Size>*)Source;
}

For some reason when optimization is full it cannot find memcpy.

This works.

Code: Select all

QuickCopy<2048>::Copy(1, 0x12345687);

But this does not

Code: Select all

QuickCopy<(QWORD)sizeof(TestCode)>::Copy((QWORD)Account->Code, (QWORD)&TestCode[0]);

It has something to do with the

Code: Select all

sizeof(TestCode)

I am now, cheers that worked. Oops, sorry I was in debug mode, not working, the correct command line is:

Code: Select all

$ x86_64-elf-g++ -c DatabaseServer.cpp -o DatabaseServer.o -fno-builtin -fno-builtin-function -fno-use-cxa-atexit -ffast-math -fno-exceptions -mcmodel=large -fno-rtti -ffreestanding -mno-red-zone -Ofast -Wall -Wextra -nostdlib -m64 -std=c++11 -msse3 -msse2 -mmmx -msse -mno-3dnow -fstrength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns -funroll-loops

A simple explanation : in c++ assignments are done through copy constructors or operators= .
By default, the compiler will cook some memory copy method.
You should implement yours . Given the size of your template, you could copy your data 8byte per 8 byte, 4 byte per 4 byte.. depending if you use uint64..uint8 copy

GCC requires the freestanding environment provide memcpy, memmove, memset and memcmp.

i.e. GCC may emit calls to those functions even when they're not explicitly called by the source code.
