Seg Fault with cilk -.-

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:50:51 GMT

OK good news finally got my compiler up and linked properly xD. Bad news seg fault -.-. OK I'm using the cpp file of Fibonacci numbers provided by cilkplus.org . So when I go to add the extra arguement ex. ./a.out 2. I get a seg fault -.-. Any ideas. I DID NOT WRITE THE FILE lol.

cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ which g++
/home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/bin/g++
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ g++ -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ g++ -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ ./a.out 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi Ryan,

Hi Ryan,

I am not able to reproduce your issue. I tried the testcase and I got the following output:

/home/gcc> ../cilkplus-install/bin/g++ -fcilkplus fib.cpp -lcilkrts
/home/gcc> ./a.out
Fibonacci number #39 is 63245986.
Calculated in 0.890 seconds using 8 workers.
/home/gcc> ./a.out 2
Fibonacci number #39 is 63245986.
Calculated in 2.115 seconds using 2 workers.

Can you try to use gdb and see what is going on? (please recompile the source file with -g flag).

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

Funny thing is my professor

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:00:51 GMT

Funny thing is my professor has the same problem lol. I have no idea how to use gdb xD trying ddd

DDD didnt even want to help

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:10:44 GMT

DDD didnt even want to help me. Gah

oh all we have is the

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:19:44 GMT

oh all we have is the compiler, no add ons or extensions and we built the complier

DDD doesn't seem to want to

Rebuild the application using

Barry_T_Intel — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:28:25 GMT

Rebuild the application using the following command:

g++ -ggdb -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp

This the -ggdb option will generate a binary with debug symbols for GDB. Now execute the application under GDB:

gdb ./a.out

When you get the GDB prompt, enter the command:

run 2

This will run the application, and pass it 2 as it's parameter. When GDB stops due to the error, issue the "bt" command to get a "backtrace". This should show you where in your application you are. Post the results here.

- Barry

This is what I got even

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:31:44 GMT

This is what I got even though it don't make sense to me haha

ok waiting for approval for post -.-

Oh thanks for taking the time

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:39:39 GMT

Oh thanks for taking the time to help me!

Are you using this compiler

Balaji_I_Intel — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:56:23 GMT

Are you using this compiler on a 64-bit machine? In your last thread you mentioned that you had LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the following:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/lib

If you are using this on the 64-bit machine, then replace LD_LIBRARY_PATH with /home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/lib64.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

nope I'm using 32 bit

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:08:00 GMT

nope I'm using 32 bit virtual machine on a 64 bit computer

Yes, I am able to reproduce

Balaji_I_Intel — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:44:50 GMT

Yes, I am able to reproduce this issue. I will get back to you when I get a solution.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

Thanks! Hopefully this helps

Ryan_M_3 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:51:53 GMT

Thanks! Hopefully this helps me down in the long run for my master's work

Hi Ryan,

Balaji_I_Intel — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 18:45:39 GMT

Hi Ryan,

We have found a fix for this issue. I am attaching a file called cilk-fiber_unix.cpp. Please save this file (and overwrite the existing one) in cilkplus-gcc/libcilkrts/runtime directory and then reconfigure and remake.

Please let me know if you still have issues.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

Appreciate it! Will let you
