Hi,

Has anyone had any success using g++ (or GNU ld) to link a mex file? 

System information: Sparc 5, Solaris 2.6, gcc/g++ 2.95.1 with matching
stdc++ library, Matlab 5.3.0... .

Here's why I'm asking:

I'm working on a mex file written in C++. The mex file uses two C++
libraries, one that I've written and also the stdc++ library. I've built
many programs using these, so I'm fairly confident they are OK. However,
my mex file crashes whenever a global C++ object is used and the
exception processing is screwed up - ecxceptions thrown from within
try/catch blocks are not caught. 

I suspect that constructors for global objects, and other setup code, is
not being run by the mex file. I think that if g++ (or GNU ld
appropriately instructed) is used to do the link rather than the
system's linker, this problem would go away.

I searched the help desk on the web and found an item that described
building mex files using g++, but that seemed targeted at g++ 2.7.x
which is fairly different from 2.95.x. In addition, I noticed that the
gxxopts.sh file it showed used the system linker to actually build the
mex file.

Any help would *really* be appreciated!

Thanks,
James
