Uninitialized partial memory access with LAPACKE_cheev

Chandrakant_19 — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 09:03:45 GMT

Hi Intel Support Team,

I am working on a project using mkl library. I am using the 'LAPACKE_cheev' mkl routine for eigenvalue(s) computation.

I have initilaized the input parameters before before calling the api.

The input matrix dimensions are 2x2 and Layout is LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR.

Code Snippet:
MKL_INT n = 2, lda = 2;
float w[2] = {};
MKL_Complex8 a[4] = {};

a is overwritten with actual data.

LAPACKE_cheev( LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR, 'N', 'U', n, a, lda, w )

Reference example code used: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/onemkl/code-samples-lapack/2024-1/lapacke-cheev-example-c-row.html

On valgrind-3.16.1 in Linux envirounment, we are observing following error

"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" at mkl_lapack_ps_avx2_xclanhe.

On Intel Inspector in windows envirounment, we are observing following error

"Uninitialized partial memory access"

Thanking you.

it might be the false positive message ...

What version of MKL do you use? is that 2024u1?

and let us know the command you used while calling Valgrind?

Hi,

Please find below details about compilers and libraries.

IntelSWTools (Linux) - compilers_and_libraries_2016.2.181

IntelSWTools (Windows) - compilers_and_libraries_2017.1.143

Intel Inspector 2023.0

Command used while calling valgrind on linux,

valgrind --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes --leak-check=full

Thanking You.

I think this is kind of false positive issue. The version of MKL is no longer supported, Could You try to test the latest ( current ) one?

You could take this version from MKL Product Page as stand-alone package.

making the same experiment with the current version of oneMKL 2024.1

$ echo $MKLROOT

/opt/intel/oneapi/mkl/2024.1

and Valgrind version :

$ valgrind --version

valgrind-3.18.1

Compiling like as follow:

$ icx -qmkl lapacke_cheev_row.c

$ valgrind --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes --leak-check=full ./a.out
