I have a multi-threaded CoreServices C++ tool project built for OS 10.5. I
want/need to use lgamma_r in one of my functions. Therefore, as stated in
math.h, I added the precompiler flag


-D_REENTRANT

to the Build options.

The relevant code fragment, viz.,

double pdf(double x, double lambda) {
int   *signgam;
double logpdf = x*log(lambda) - lambda - lgamma_r(x + 1, signgam);
...
}

builds successfully with ppc architecture but *fails* when the i386
architecture is added. [I need the latter for a universal binary.] The
build results confirm that the i386 compile is what fails.


Math.h mentions lgamma_r in just one block and says nothing special about
i386.

On my system, math.h doesn't mention lgamma_r or, in fact, anything useful other than including an architecture specific version of math.h. If you look at the i386 version of math.h in /usr/include/ architecture.i386, you'll notice that lgamma_r is not defined there which is probably where your error comes from.


Incidentally, if you use your code exactly as specified in your mail, then I'm amazed if you don't often see bus errors or equivalent - you're passing an unitialised pointer to lgamma_r.




Did I do something wrong?  Is there another flag that must be set?

TIA.
