Linking error with clang

[stwunsch]

Hi!

I get undefined references if i build with the following cmake command:

cmake /path/to/vdt -DDIAG=ON -DDEBUG=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="clang++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="clang

The error:

/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/test_randomPool.dir/test_randomPool.cpp.o: in function `refMath::exp(double)':
/home/stefan/workspace/vdt/include/diagnostic/vdtdiag_helper.h:54: undefined reference to `__exp_finite'

clang-9: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

My setup:

clang 9.0.1 cmake 3.16.4

It fails only if we use -Ofast. Everything is fine with -O3.

This seems very much related: https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/issues/24935

[stwunsch]

These are the symbols, which are undefined:

nm lib/libvdt.so | c++filt | grep finit
                 U __expf_finite
                 U __exp_finite
                 U __logf_finite
                 U __log_finite

Strangely they don't show up if I build with gcc, only with clang (and -Ofast).

Thanks for the ping!
