pulsar-client-cpp not able to build with static link

Expected behavior

Build pulsar-client-cpp lib with static linking all libs.

Set LINK_STATIC to ON in CMakeList.txt and run ./docker-build.sh, expect to build the cpp client lib with static linking.

Actual behavior

Build failed.

Steps to reproduce

In pulsar/pulsar-client-cpp/

$ git diff CMakeLists.txt diff --git a/pulsar-client-cpp/CMakeLists.txt b/pulsar-client-cpp/CMakeLists.txt index 38a47742…7fb08401 100644 — a/pulsar-client-cpp/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/pulsar-client-cpp/CMakeLists.txt @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} “${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_modules”) option(BUILD_TESTS “Build tests” ON) MESSAGE(STATUS "BUILD_TESTS: " ${BUILD_TESTS})

System configuration

Pulsar version: 2.0

@f7753 You can update clang-format version, because in CMakeLists.txt:

# `make format` option
if (NOT APPLE AND NOT WIN32)
    set(CLANG_FORMAT_VERSION "5.0")
endif()

Or, we can ignore make check-format. In centos7 OS, the default version of clang is 3.4.2

Then in apachepulsar/pulsar-build:centos-7 image, when i exec make -j12, error as follows:

[root@1fc7007643de pulsar-client-cpp]# make -j12

I tried to exec yum install -y libstdc++-static.x86_64, this problem was fixed.

BTW, when I compile these code in docker environment, I use the default CPU resource settings， and then I compile with the param -j12, it would throw the error below:

c++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions.
make[2]: *** [lib/CMakeFiles/pulsarShared.dir/BatchMessageContainer.cc.o] Error 4
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

So, if you see the log above, please make sure that your compile params match the docker resource settings.
