gcc 5.3 and clik dev tools: cilkscreen and cilkview

I see that the dev tools cilkview and cilkscreen have been updated in late 2015 (build 4421) -- the web pages state that they support the gcc cilk branch -- does this imply that they don't support the latest gcc compilers -- aka gcc 5.3. The gcc 5.3 compiles and runs the cilk code like the traditional fib.cpp test code. But when run under the latest cilkscreen and cilkview, these programs complain about lack of cilk sir code, see below:

-bash-4.2$ cilkview ./fib

Error: No Cilk code found in program

any ideas? Is there some extra directive that I need in the code or in the compile line?

Your thought is correct

Your thought is correct unfortunately.

Cilk tools do not work with the latest (mainline) GCC compilers, and the only GCC version that works with the tools is "cilkplus-4_8-branch".
