This code:
void undefined_fcn();
void defined_fcn() {}
struct api_t {
void (*first)();
void (*second)();
};
api_t api = {undefined_fcn, defined_fcn};
defines a global variable api with a pointer to a non-existent function. However, it compiles, and to my surprise, links with absolutely no complaints from GCC, even with all those -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic flags.
This code is part of a shared library. Only when I load the library, at run-time, it finally fails. How do I check, at library link-time, that I did't forget to define any function?
Update: this question mentions the same problem, and the answer is the same: -Wl,--no-undefined. (by the way, I guess this could even be marked as duplicate). However, according to the accepted answer below, you should be careful when using -Wl,--no-undefined.
