Undefined Symbol ___gxx_personality_v0 on link

Question

I've been getting this undefined symbol building with this command line: ``` $ gcc test.cpp Undefined symbols: "___gxx_personality_v0", referenced from: etc... ``` test.cpp is simple and should build fine. What is the deal?

Accepted Answer

Use

```
g++ test.cpp
```

instead, since this is c++ code.

Or, if you really want to use `gcc`, add `-lstdc++` to the command line, like so:

```
gcc test.cpp -lstdc++
```

Running `md5` against the `a.out` produced under each scenario shows that it's the same output.

But, yeah, `g++` probably makes your world a simpler place.
