问题
When linking my project in the release mode I am getting the following warning:
myProject-libs/release/libboost_regex-mt-s-1.50.0.a(cpp_regex_traits.o): duplicate section `.data$_ZZN5boost16cpp_regex_traitsIcE21get_catalog_name_instEvE6s_name[boost::cpp_regex_traits<char>::get_catalog_name_inst()::s_name]' has different size
I suspect that the cause could be that the boost library is compiled with different options than I use for my project, but I don't know how to find the difference (boost didn't output these options during the build).
In order to compile the boost for win32 on Ubuntu 12.04 I used this procedure:
tar jxf boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_50_0
./bootstrap.sh
echo "using gcc : 4.6 : i686-w64-mingw32-g++ : <rc>i686-w64-mingw32-windres <archiver>i686-w64-mingw32-ar ;" > user-config.jam
./bjam toolset=gcc target-os=windows --address-model=32 variant=release threading=multi threadapi=win32 link=static runtime-link=static --prefix=/opt/boost_1_50_0-release-static-windows-32 --user-config=user-config.jam -j 10 --without-mpi --without-python -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 --layout=tagged install
In order to compile files in my project I use something like
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -march=corei7 -mfpmath=sse -m32 -Wall -fmessage-length=0 -I"/opt/boost_1_50_0-release-static-windows-32/include" -std=c++0x -O3 -g0 -DNDEBUG -I"myProject/src/cpp" -c -o myProject/build/release/src/cpp/myproject.o myproject/src/cpp/myproject.cpp
The tests I have indicate that the regexps run fine but still I would like to resolve the warning.
EDIT
I found that additional options to the boost compiler can be added using a cxxflags= argument of bjam.
Example: bjam cxxflags='-fPIC' ....
Maybe making sure to pass the same arguments as I do to the project could resolve the problem (particularly the arguments related to optimizations as suggested in the linked question).
回答1:
Your compilers were compiled with different options :) Compiling the library on Linux and the program on Windows result in a situation where there is an identically named .data segment, but they aren't the same size. That could theoretically be interesting, inasmuch as a data segment is writable, but in practice, it shouldn't matter. Unless there is evidence to suggest this causes a problem of which I'm not aware, you can safely suppress that warning; I don't know how you'd make it go away, though.
回答2:
I recently encountered this problem (i.e. linker warning "duplicate section has different size") when trying to compile boost for Windows using mingw.
The issue I had was that I compiled my application with -std=c++14 but when compiling boost I didn't specifically provide a dialect flag (which defaulted to -std=c++98 for g++ 5.3.0). Adding the dialect flag -std=c++14 when compiling boost solved the problem for me. See this answer for an explaination on how to set cxxflags when compiling boost.
I believe my solution might have worked for you (your application was compiled with -std=c++0x but boost was not provided any dialect flag). Although I am 6 years too late, I'll leave my answer here for others who happen to stumble-upon this issue.
