[LLVMdev] Symbol not found in opt when using own pass

[James Stanier]

Unfortunately I'm now at home and not my desk, but I'm already using the opt
tool which resides in the /Release/bin/ directory, so I don't think this is
the case.

The problem seems to explicitly occur when creating objects of header files
that aren't within the llvm or std library. I created a junk header file
called Rubbish.h with minimal content (a private integer and a get/set
method), and when I tried to create an object of that type:

   Rubbish r;

I got the exact same error as previously posted, no matter where in the .cpp
file I wrote it. This makes me think that, somehow, it can't find symbols
for any of my own #include header files, no matter what they happen to be. I
ran this by some people in my lab who couldn't seem to work it out either.

My project lies within /lib/Transforms/VSDGConstruct, next to the Hello
example. All of my .h and .cpp files are in there. Is there some possibility
that the header files should be elsewhere?

I am rather confused...
