Q: I get compiler errors when I try to compile programs using GTIRB. How can I make them go away?
A: GTIRB requires C++17, including the C++17 standard library. If your compiler does not use C++17 by default, you will need to explicitly specify it when compiling programs that use GTIRB.
For example:
g++ --std=c++17 my_gtirb_program.cpp -lgtirb -o my_gtirb_program
Q: I get linker errors when I try to compile and link programs using GTIRB. How can I make them go away?
A: This isn't GTIRB specific, but if you place the -lgtirb on your
compilation line before the source file the linker will sometimes
throw away the symbols from the GTIRB library which it doesn't think
it needs (and if it hasn't read your source yet it won't think it
needs much). So if for example,
g++ --std=c++17 -lgtirb my_gtirb_program.cpp
doesn't work for you, then try this instead.
g++ --std=c++17 my_gtirb_program.cpp -lgtirb
