vtune and optimization flag problem

[amk21]

Hi,

I found out that when compileing with -O flag it's does not meter what optimize flag i'm using once -O is specify vtune stop collecting data.

i installed a clean Ubuntu 11.1

amir@ubuntu:~/vtune_intel_test$ uname -a

Linu

x ubuntu 3.0.0-12-server #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:36:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

compile with -O

this is the test.cpp code

//test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

//

#include "ittnotify.h"

void foo_data_collected()

{

for (int i=0; i<10000000L; i++);

}

void foo_data_not_collected()

{

for (int i=0; i<10000000L; i++);

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

// Assume that data collector was paused in user interface

foo_data_not_collected();

// Now resume data collecting

__itt_resume();

foo_data_collected();

// Pasue data collecting again

__itt_pause();

foo_data_not_collected();

// Resume data collecting again

__itt_resume();

foo_data_collected();

// The user shouldn't see data collecting in foo_data_not_collected() in result

return 0;

}

how can i use vtune whith -O2 or -O3 ?

Amk21,

This new forum post appears to be a duplicate of forum thread hereyou posted which is in process. Let us know if this is not the case.

this is more direct question way gcc optimization flag cause vtune to stop collecting in the previous post there where several issues

[Peter_W_Intel]

I never use option "-Ox" when I tried Resume/Pause API. But I think this should be a probelm.

I have reported this problem to engineering team, and willupdate on this thread if any progress.

Currently, workaround is not to use "-Ox" when using Resume/Pause API.

Regards, Peter

i think i figure the problem the functions are inline when using -Ox flag

[TimP]

Inlined functions will cause the associated data to be associated with a calling function. So it's often useful to disable in-lining for profiling.
