Hello again,

I'm having similar problems again, this time when building kdevplatform. I get:


Built target kdev_starter_automoc
Building CXX object
kdevplatform/util/kdev_starter/CMakeFiles/kdev_starter.dir/main.o
Linking CXX executable kdev_starter
CMakeFiles/kdev_starter.dir/main.o: In function
`QList<QString>::detach_helper()':
/home/edulix/proyectos/kde4/qt4/include/QtCore/qlist.h:604: undefined
reference to `QListData::detach3()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [kdevplatform/util/kdev_starter/kdev_starter] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kdevplatform/util/kdev_starter/CMakeFiles/kdev_starter.dir/all]
Error 2

I recently removed all my installation and did a --refresh-build as I
already commented here. So this is what I've seen:

1. First, looking at the code in
/home/edulix/proyectos/kde4/qt4/include/QtCore/qlist.h at line 604,
there is:

template <typename T>
Q_OUTOFLINE_TEMPLATE void QList<T>::detach_helper()
{
    Node *n = reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.begin());
    QListData::Data *x = p.detach3(); // <<<<<<<<<< LINE 604 HERE
    QT_TRY {
        node_copy(reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.begin()),
reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.end()), n);
    } QT_CATCH(...) {
        qFree(d);
        d = x;
        QT_RETHROW;
    }

    if (!x->ref.deref())
        free(x);
}

2. Changing detach3() with detach2() (which is being deprecated for QT
5 but that's nothing to worry for now :P) magically works and
generates correctly the kdeveplatform binary kdev_helper, which seems
in turn to be linking to the correct libQtCore:

        libpcre.so.3 => /lib/libpcre.so.3 (0x00007f2c55200000)

3. So I started inspecting the code in qlist.cpp, and I found that in
the code, detach3 is as defined as detach2:


edulix@edulix-laptop:~/proyectos/kde4/src/qt-copy/src/corelib/tools$
grep -C 2 "*QListData::detach" qlist.cpp
#  error "Remove QListData::detach(), it is only required for binary
compatibility for 4.0.x to 4.2.x"
#endif
QListData::Data *QListData::detach()
{
    Data *x = static_cast<Data *>(qMalloc(DataHeaderSize + d->alloc *
sizeof(void *)));
--
#  error "Remove QListData::detach2(), it is only required for binary
compatibility for 4.3.x to 4.5.x"
#endif
QListData::Data *QListData::detach2()
{
    Data *x = d;
--
 *  \internal
 */
QListData::Data *QListData::detach3()
{
    Data *x = d;


4. And indeed, inspecting the library that was shown to be linked by
kdev_starter (/home/edulix/proyectos/kde4/qt4/lib/libQtCore.so.4), the
symbol was there, at least in the debug version which I asume that has
the same symbols as the other versions as they were built at the same
time:


edulix@edulix-laptop:~/proyectos/kde4/src/qt-copy/src/corelib/tools$ l

So.. what's happening? Well something is wrong :P
