Hi , I am trying to use the Boost Interposes, specifically the message queue. When Im doing cross compiling boost libraries on Cronus mips board, I am getting below error undefined reference to `__sync_val_compare_and_swap_4' Upon analysis we found that in boost/interprocess/details/atomic.hpp, was throwing this error. I found the solution. I replaced this returned statement ( __sync_val_compare_and_swap_4 ) and included assembly language code in atomic.hpp. (volatile boost::uint32_t *mem, boost::uint32_t with, boost::uint32_t cmp) { /* return __sync_val_compare_and_swap(const_cast<boost::uint32_t *>(mem), cmp, with);*/ boost::uint32_t result; asm volatile(".set\tpush\n\t" ".set\tnoreorder\n\t" ".set\tnomacro\n\t" "1:\n\t" "ll\t%[result],0(%[mem])\n\t" "bne\t%[result],%[with],2f\n\t" "move\t%[result],$0\n\t" // delay slot "move\t%[result],%[mem]\n\t" "sc\t%[result],0(%[mem])\n\t" "beq\t%[result],$0,1b\n\t" "nop\n\t" // delay slot "2:\n\t" ".set\tpop" : [result] "=&r" (result) : [mem] "r" (mem), [cmp] "r" (cmp), [with] "r"(with) : "memory"); return result; } After this I was able to execute the message queue program successfully on the mips platform. Can someone confirm if this is the right solution?
