  On updating ubuntu from 15.04 to 15.10, I see changes in how clang
  resolves references to some libraries. (I think this is not an ubuntu
  question but rather a clang question and that I've missed some subtlety
  on how clang has recently changed.  I suspect initially that this is
  related to the gcc-5 ABI changes, but I'm not sure how to proceed.)
  
  Here's a tiny test example designed only to tickle the phenomenon:
  
  #include <jsoncpp/json/json.h>
  #include <iostream>
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
-     std::cout << argc << " - " << argv[0] << std::endl;
-     Json::Reader reader;
-     Json::Value root;
-     reader.parse("", root, false);
-     std::cout << reader.getFormattedErrorMessages() << std::endl;
-     return 0;
+     std::cout << argc << " - " << argv[0] << std::endl;
+     Json::Reader reader;
+     Json::Value root;
+     reader.parse("", root, false);
+     std::cout << reader.getFormattedErrorMessages() << std::endl;
+     return 0;
  }
  
  If I compile like this
  
  clang++ -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=c++14 -o json_test json_test.cc
  -ljsoncpp
  
  /tmp/json_test-680d3a.o: In function `main':
  /tmp/json_test.cc:10: undefined reference to 
`Json::Reader::getFormattedErrorMessages() const'
  clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)
  
  And yet the definition appears to be present:
  
  jeff@birdsong:src $ objdump -TC /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjsoncpp.so | 
grep getFormatted
  000000000000e190 g    DF .text  00000000000004d2  Base        
Json::OurReader::getFormattedErrorMessages[abi:cxx11]() const
  000000000000dc70 g    DF .text  00000000000004d2  Base        
Json::Reader::getFormattedErrorMessages[abi:cxx11]() const
- jeff@birdsong:src $ 
+ jeff@birdsong:src $
  
  The abi:cxx11 suggests I might at least try this
  
  clang++ -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 -o json_test json_test.cc
  -ljsoncpp
  
  but same error. On the other hand, this works fine:
  
  g++ -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=c++14 -o json_test json_test.cc -ljsoncpp
  
  Fwiw, here's version info:
