STM32CubeIDE to version 1.15.0: (.text._getentropy_r+0xe): warning: _getentropy is not implemented

[EmbeddedSystemsEngineer]

Beside an already solved warning (.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions),

after updating the STM32CubeIDE to version 1.15.0 I am observing the second warning below:

C:\ProgramFiles\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeIDE_1.15.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.12.3.rel1.win32_1.0.100.202403111256\tools\arm-none-eabi\bin\ld.exe: C:/Program Files/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeIDE_1.15.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.12.3.rel1.win32_1.0.100.202403111256/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/12.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/thumb/v7e-m+fp/hard\libc.a(libc_a-getentropyr.o): in function `_getentropy_r':

(.text._getentropy_r+0xe): warning: _getentropy is not implemented and will always fail

 

In those C++ projects I’m retargeting std::cout from iostream to the serial line. But the same problem comes up,
when I’m retargeting printf from cstdio or stdio.

Are there any ideas to solve the problem?

 It is not related to printf or stdio. Add it somewhere with other "syscall" stubs.

int getentropy(void buffer[], size_t length)
{
 buffer = buffer; length = length;
 return -ENOSYS;
}

Hi Pavel A.,

thanks for your fast feedback and solution!

(With parameter type void* instead of void for buffer[] it works fine.)

Is this topic only related to C++ projects, because I tried also to rebuild some C projects, where I didn't get this warning?

 

[Pavel A.]

@EmbeddedSystemsEngineer this can be used in any C or C++ project where a real getentropy function is not needed. Various versions of C or C++ runtime libraries may refer to getentropy or not.

Hi Pavel A.,

Thank you for the answer!
