Hi,

my name is Sven Hader from the Technical University of Chemnitz in Germany.
Developing a larger C++ application (using Linux v2.0.12, GNU CC v2.7.2 and
ld cynus-2.6) I encountered the following problem:


test program 'test.cc':

  #include <string.h>

  main()
  {
    char *c = strchr("hello",'e');
  }


(1) Compiling this program using 'gcc test.cc' produced the linker error 
    message

      'undefined reference to strchr(char *, int)' .

(2) Compiling this program using 'gcc -O2 test.cc' worked without problems.

(3) Renaming the program to 'test.c' and compiling using 'gcc test.c' worked 
    as well.

So my problem is: Why doesn't case (1) work while the others do ?

I would be very grateful to you for answering the above question or giving me
the name/adress of someone who could.

Bye.   Sven
