a gcc sqrt function bug?

The following program cannot compile in gcc. But it compiles OK with g++ and MSC++ with .c extension.

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  double t = 10;开发者_运维问答
  double t2 = 200;

  printf("%lf\n", sqrt(t*t2));

  return 0;
}

My system is CentOS, the version info.

> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The error info:

> gcc test.c
/tmp/ccyY3Hiw.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x55): undefined reference to `sqrt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is this a bug?

Any one can do a test for me?


Have you linked the math library?

gcc -lm test.c -o test 


Add the math library with flag -lm

> gcc test.c -lm


Try gcc -lm test.c -o test

For gcc, you need to tell it to link the math library in, by adding -lm to your gcc call.


Everybody has been saying this, but I will too. You have to "tell" gcc to link to the math library. When you compile, instead of saying gcc test.c, you have to say gcc -lm test.c. I wish that I could just #include math.h and not have to do anything else.


The thing is, gcc -lm test.c -o test won't work because gcc will treat the -lm as a compiler and not a linker option. You need to put the -lm at the end of the command instead, i.e. gcc -o test test.c -lm
