e2 studio undefined reference to 'posix_memalign'

Question

I need some help to solve this error. I am new to use e2 studio of Renesas. I started to import and build a project, which used for GR-Peach board. Then I got this error:

My toolchain version is 8.3.1.20190703. And the file definition is stdlib.h in directory C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2019-q3-update\arm-none-eabi\include

#if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200112
int posix_memalign (void **, size_t, size_t) __nonnull((1))
        __result_use_check;
#endif

I also tried changing -std=gnu99 and using aligned_alloc instead for posix_memalign but they not worked.

// definition in stdlib.h
/*
 * If we're in a mode greater than C99, expose C11 functions.
 */
#if __ISO_C_VISIBLE >= 2011
void *  aligned_alloc(size_t, size_t) __malloc_like __alloc_align(1)
        __alloc_size(2) __result_use_check;
int at_quick_exit(void (*)(void));
_Noreturn void
    quick_exit(int);
#endif /* __ISO_C_VISIBLE >= 2011 */

If possible, it is better to include the error as text, rather than a screenshot, as text is searchable — Greenonline

[UPDATE] The error log as below

[SOLVE] Origin source code

        void* p;
        if (posix_memalign(&p, 256, size) == 0) {
            return p;
        }
        return NULL;

Replace to memalign

        void* p;
        p = memalign(256, size);
        return p;

For details

    inline void* operator new(size_t size) {
        void* p;
#if !defined (__CC_ARM) && (!defined (_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L))
        p = memalign(256, size);
        return p;
#else
        if (posix_memalign(&p, 256, size) == 0) {
            return p;
        }
        return NULL;
#endif
    }

After changing, I got this error: undefined reference to `__wrap__memalign_r'

Then followed this

https://os.mbed.com/questions/82888/Exporting-problem-with-SW4STM32/

to solve the problem.

For E2 Studio right click to project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > Cross ARM C++ Linker > Miscellaneous > Linker flags (-Xlinker [option])

Linker flags (-Xlinker [option])

--wrap=_malloc_r
--wrap=_free_r
--wrap=_realloc_r
--wrap=_memalign_r
--wrap=_calloc_r

adding '_' symbol before the flags

--wrap=__malloc_r
--wrap=__free_r
--wrap=__realloc_r
--wrap=__memalign_r
--wrap=__calloc_r

[RESEARCH]

After comparing stdlib.h between older version 4.9 (4.9 2015q3) and current version 8 (8 2019-q3-update). I thought that posix_memalign maybe not supported anymore

In version 8

arm-none-eabi/include/stdlib.h (not support posix_memalign)

#if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200112
int posix_memalign (void **, size_t, size_t) __nonnull((1))
        __result_use_check;
#endif

arm-none-eabi/include/sys/features.h

#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE     200809L

In version 4.9

arm-none-eabi/include/stdlib.h (support posix_memalign)

#ifdef __rtems__
int _EXFUN(posix_memalign,(void **, size_t, size_t));
#endif

The GNU page says

9.637 posix_memalign

Gnulib module: —
