Hi everyone
I get the error " /usr/bin/ld: .libs/scan_sync_demo: hidden symbol `stat' in /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(stat.oS) is referenced by DSO
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output ",
The immediate cause is my XXX.so reference stat/fstat, but I find stat/fstat is not defined in XXX.so (by ldd âr)ã

undefined symbol: stat (./libobapi.so)
undefined symbol: fstat (./libobapi.so)
It is strange, xxx.so references /lib64/libc.so.6, stat/fstat obviously belong libcãBut later I realize it is wrong,

Where is fstat/stat? I read glibc source(v2.18), find
/* The `stat', `fstat', `lstat' functions have to be handled special since
even while not compiling the library with optimization calls to these
functions in the shared library must reference the `xstat' etc functions.
We have to use macros but we cannot define them in the normal headers
since on user level we must use real functions. */

What does the comment means? I just know stat/fstat is macro from it.
My question is, why does stat/fstat appeared in xxx.so, why not replaced by __xstat/__fxstat in pre_process.
Here is a simple example.
Libfile.cpp
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void func()
{
fstat(0,0);
stat(0, 0);
}

In this example, stat/fstat is defined in libfile.so. donât look like macro. I donât where I went wrong. Before emailing, I search similar questions, but I donât get what I wanted.
What more strange is

Appreciate your reply!
