mingw-4.8.1 atomic issue

Question

I've the following compile error when I try to use the method is_lock_free() of atomic.

struct Simple1 { int i; };
struct Simple2 { int a; int b; };
struct Simple3 { int a; int b; int c; };

int main()
{
    atomic< Counter > counter;
    atomic< Param > param;
    atomic< Simple1 > s1;
    atomic< Simple2 > s2;
    atomic< Simple3 > s3;

    cout
        << "Is s1 lock free? " << boolalpha << s1.is_lock_free() << '\n'
        << "Is s2 lock free? " << boolalpha << s2.is_lock_free() << '\n'
        << "Is s3 lock free? " << boolalpha << s3.is_lock_free() << '\n';
   }

s1.is_lock_free() and s2.is_lock_free() are okay and atomic< builtin >::is_lock_free(), where builtin is a fondamental type, works well.

But for s3 the call of is_lock_free gives a linkage error: undefined reference to __atomic_is_lock_free

Does I need to link some external library? What can I do?

Edit 1

The same issue occur on gcc4.8.1 on Ubuntu 13.04

The comand line option is the following:

g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -std=c++11 -o "atomic_test.o" "atomic_test.cpp" 
g++ -std=c++11 -o hello.exe atomic_test.o

Edit 2

I added -latomic and -lpthread on gcc but I've the same error:

libatomic is present on my system:

$ ldconfig -v | grep atomic

Answer 1

You need to link with libatomic (which is provided by GCC):

g++ -std=c++11 -o hello.exe atomic_test.o -latomic
