• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 0.10.0
• Component/s: C++ - Library

Environment

Ubuntu Linux 16.04 x86_64

Description

1) make standalone clang ndk toolchain (gnustl_static)

2) build boost 1.63 and inject its headers & libs to toolchain's sysroot

3) configure thrift:
./configure --with-sysroot=$toolchains/arm/sysroot --host=arm-linux-androideabi CXX="$toolchains/arm/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-clang++"

4) cd lib/cpp

5) make

GOT ERRORS:

1) rpl_malloc & rpl_realloc symbols are not found during compilation
CAN BE FIXED BY: removing
#define malloc rpl_malloc
and
#define realloc rpl_realloc
from ./src/thrift/config.h

2) ./src/thrift/protocol/TCompactProtocol.tcc:37:3: error: "TCompactProtocol currently only works if a signed right shift is arithmetic"
