strange error when trying to use explicit memory copy

Anwar_Ludin — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:35:16 GMT

Hi,

I've written a very simple shared library containing the following function (the library is supposed to be called from a scripting language):

void sayHelloOpenMPMic(){
printf("launching threads...\n");
int i = 0;
#pragma offload target(mic) inout(i)
{
i = omp_get_num_threads();
}
printf("available threads: %i", i);
}

The shared library compiles just fine but when I try to execute the function I get the following cryptic message:

> sayHelloOpenMP()
launching threads...
On the sink, dlopen() returned NULL. The result of dlerror() is "/tmp/coi_procs/1/5419/load_lib/icpcoutSFHjM7: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_guard"
On the remote process, dlopen() failed. The error message sent back from the sink is /tmp/coi_procs/1/5419/load_lib/icpcoutSFHjM7: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_guard
offload error: cannot load library to the device 0 (error code 20)

Here is the compile sequence:

Here is the compile sequence:

I think you should have MIC

I think you should have MIC_LD_LIBRARY_PATH referes to a place can be accessed on MIC!

Hi, I don't understand what you mean. I tried to append MIC_LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH but I get the same error. I also repackaged the function in a standalone app and it works. It's only when I load the function from a shared library that it fails.

I don't understand the

I don't understand the reference to undefined symbol: __stack_chk_guard in the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated in order to solve this issue as I m completely stuck

I had this problem when I started using MIC. To go arround that I have one folder mounted within the mic system,

Lets call this folder "/work", when you ssh to mic you shoud be able to aces this folder, if you put the library you need inside that folder and make MIC_LD_LIBRARY_PATH refer to this folder. This solved my problem.

@Anwar Ludin, I am sorry I

@Anwar Ludin, I am sorry I have justnotice this!, have you tried to compile without -fstack-protector?

Hi Bachar! Yeah it worked! Thanks a lot! Actually you were also correct about a missing shared library on the Xeon Phi. I guess -fstack-protector compiler option is implemented by a shared object. Removed it and everything works fine! Once again many thanks!

Hi Bachar! Yes it worked onced I removed the compiler option...thanks a lot!
