  • 1.  linking gobject-2.0 with run-time link (-brtl) results in load-time error

    Posted Wed September 09, 2020 11:13 AM

    When I want to link libgobject-2.0 (glib2-2.56.1-2.ppc) with -brtl link option I get this error on load-time:

    ./out

    (process:8323300): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 16:28:46.774: cannot register existing fundamental type 'gchar' (as 'gchar')
    **
    GLib-GObject:ERROR:gvaluetypes.c:455:_g_value_types_init: assertion failed: (type == G_TYPE_CHAR)Resources lost(coredump)
    Compilation and linkage is done with (xlC or xlC_r or g++): 
    xlC_r -D__AIX -g -q64 -Wl,-b64 -Wl,-brtl -bl:_lmap -qlanglvl=nullptr -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/freew are/include -L/opt/freeware/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib -lm -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 - lglib-2.0 -lpcre2-8 CairoReportBase.C InvoiceReport.C InvoiceReportBase.C PangoHelper.C StandardReportBase.C main.C -o out
    or 
    g++ -D__AIX -g -maix64 -Wl,-b64 -Wl,-brtl -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/opt/freeware/include -lm -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -L/opt/freeware/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib -lpcre2-8 CairoReportBase.C InvoiceReport.C InvoiceReportBase.C PangoHelper.C StandardReportBase.C main.C -o out_gnu

    Without -brtl the load-time error does not occur.
    With -brtl set and defining /opt/freeware/lib/libgobject-2.0.a directly instead of -lgobject-2.0 the load-time error does not occur, too.

    But the object in archive /opt/freeware/lib/libgobject-2.0.a and the object in /opt/freeware/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 seems to be the same (checked with sum and dump).​

    The program above is only a prototype and will be linked to many more libraries from us (self made libraries) at the end and we want to use the -brtl option to keep the program size small. Defining /opt/freeware/lib/libgobject-2.0.a at linkage would be possibly a workaround.

    But why does it not work to link libgobject-2.0.so with run-time linking (-brtl) enabled?

  • 2.  RE: linking gobject-2.0 with run-time link (-brtl) results in load-time error

    Posted Wed September 09, 2020 01:08 PM
    There is a packaging issue with glib2 rpm . It should only ship archives (.a) containing the .so libraries. 
    It should not ship .so libraries as such. We will fix this. In the meanwhile , suggest you to remove the all .so files delivered by glib2 rpm.

    The root cause of the problem here is when we use "-brtl" flag, "libraries ending with .so has more priority than .a and so the code links to .so. But other libraries like libcairo, libpangocairo  links to libglib-2.0.a(libgobject-2.0.a) . I see your application links to these libraries which already would have loaded libglib-2.0.a ,libgobject-2.0.a and tries to load libglib-2.0.so (libgobject-2.0.so). So there is a module initialization failure.

    After removing all .so files from glib2 I have no troubles so far.

    Thanks!
