pragma in 3.2.x

[Scott A. Smith]

Greetings,

I get lots of "undefined reference" errors when linking to my static
libraries under GCC-3.2. I think I have isolated the problem, it stems from
#pragma interface in my headers. Here is a simple example:

======= PSet.cc

#include "PSet.h"
int PSet::Psize() { return size(); }

======= PSet.h

#include <list>

//#ifdef __GNUG__
//#pragma interface
//#endif

class PSet : public std::list<double> {
  public:
  int PSet::Psize();
  };

======= test.cc

#include <iostream>
#include "PSet.h"                               // Include our derived list

int main()
  {
  std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
  std::cout << "\n\tHello World";
  PSet ps;
  std::cout << "\n\tSize is " << ps.Psize();
  std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
  }

=========================

If I build a static library containing class PSet with the following:

g++ -c -I. PSet.cc
ar r libpset.a PSet.o
ranlib libpset.a

and then compile/link/run the "test.cc" program with this

g++ test.cc -I. -L. -lpset
./a.exe

Everything works fine, BUT if I uncomment the three lines in PSet.h that
use "pragma interface" I get the following error:

C:\DOCUME~1\sosi\LOCALS~1\Temp/cce2aaaa.o(.ctors+0x0):test.cc: undefined
reference to `_GLOBAL__I_main'
C:\DOCUME~1\sosi\LOCALS~1\Temp/cce2aaaa.o(.dtors+0x0):test.cc: undefined
reference to `_GLOBAL__D_main'

This occurs under the latest MinGW (MSYS rxvt shell) where

gcc -v

Can someone tell me what has changed with GCC-3.x that is causing this? Are
pragmas no longer supported? Does this have to do with template
instantiation? If so, how can I insure things are instantiated? Do I need
some
"external-templates" flag when I invoke the compiler? My project builds and
links fine under GCC-2.9.x just
fine, but I get many "undefined reference" errors when linking to its static
library when everything is compiled under GCC-3.2.x (also on Linux and
OSX.2)

Any help appreciated,
Scott
