relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32

mambru37 · ‎03-14-2006

Hi, I'm trying to compile a big code that so far has been running fine.

Now, we have surpassed the 2GB in statically allocated data limit. I knew that would bring us some problems.

I'm compiling with the following debug options (latest iforte 9.0):

-O0 -fpe0 -g -openmp -fpic -i_dynamic -mcmodel=large -auto-scalar -traceback

also with the optimizations (on Xeon EM64T):

-O2 -xP -fPIC -openmp -i_dynamic -mcmodel=large -auto-scalar

Removing the -auto-scalar option makes it compile without problems, but later fails to run with a segmentation fault. Linking errors (with debug on) are the following:

with optimization flags, the errors differ:

I found out that by including the offending variables (the cause is always statically allocated variables with size given by a parameter, or even scalars) inside a common, it no longer faults at that point. That can also be achieved by adding the automatic option to the declaration or by making them allocatable and allocating them at the beginning of the function.

Any clues? As you can see I've i ncluded all the options suggested for large arrays in these forums.

With the 9.0 ia64 compiler on an Altix machine compiles and works fine.

Steven_L_Intel1 · ‎03-15-2006

I see that you also reported this to Intel Premier Support, which is what I would have recommended.

mambru37 · ‎03-16-2006

Fixed it, the problem was the -fpic switch.

Cheers!

Hi,
I have same problem when I compile my code. I have seen in forum of intel, but I didn't resolve my problem.
The error it gets is:
relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against `.bss'
additional relocation overflows omitted from the output.
I used these options, as suggested by forum intel:
-fPIC -shared-intel -mcmodel=large.
Can you help me? Have you a solution for my problem?
Thank you very much

Hi,

The recommended flags to use when you have >2GB of static data are:

-mcmodel medium -shared-intel

(-mcmodel large -shared-intel should also work, the only difference is that it also allows your code size to be >2GB, which is pretty rare).

You should NOT use -fpic at the same time, as the original poster to this thread pointed out.

I think the confusion arises because libraries that have not themselves been built with -mcmodel medium, (because they do not contain > 2 GB of static data), must instead be built with -fpic so that they use full addressing and can be linked with objects that were built with -mcmodel medium. Otherwise, you get the dreaded "relocation error" from the linker.

The Intel compiler runtime library is not built with -mcmodel medium. The shared version of the runtime library is built with -fpic, but the static version is not. This is why you need to use the flag -shared-intel when compiling your code with -mcmodel medium.

Evidently, users are finding the mention of -fpic in the compiler documentation for -mcmodelto be confusing. We'll try to improve that.

I don't know if there is any fundamental reason why -fpic and -mcmodel medium could not be made to work together. There didn't seem to be a functional need for that, and it hasn't been done, but perhaps it could be looked into.

Please let us know whether building with -mcmodel medium -shared-intel but without -fpic solves your relocation problem.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion.
I has the same problem, I had to allocate an array with double precision, 5 columns, 25000*300*5 for a 2D output of a simulation.
This works great both with medium and large syntax also in Fortran77.
Thanks again and the best regards

Hi,
I recently started a post related with this instruction, about HOW exactly use that instruction because inolder versions of the compiler and a linux-based machine it works well. But now, I am working on two Mac OS machines, each one with different versiones of the compilers and I am not able to use -mcmodel.
For version 11.1.058 the error message is: "ifort: command line warning #10152: option '-mcmodel medium' not supported" whereas for a version 10.5.8 it is worse, the message is: "catastrophic error: **Internal compiler error: internal abort** Please report
this error along with the circumstances in which it occurred in a Software Problem Report."
So could someone please tell me how to make the instruction works now?
Thanx!

This option, mcmodel, is only available for Linux.

On Mac OS - if you are using OS X 10.5.x or 10.6.x you will want the latest 11.1 compiler. The compiler support for Mac OS and Xcodes evolve rapidly.

First, find get the latest 11.1 compiler. Next, locate the documentation: Particularly the Release_NotesF.pdf. It is located in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/067/Documentation/en_US
This lists the compatibility for your compiler.

Next, go into: /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/067/Documentation/en_US/compiler_f/ and open compiler_documentation_f.html

Under here, open the Intel Fortran Compiler User and Reference Guides. Open 'Compiler Options' for full information on the compiler.

For large memory on Mac: You must use -m64 which is the default for the 64bit compiler.

Make sure you have the 64bit compiler: ifort -V

Lorri_M_Intel · ‎06-06-2012

The reference to "libifport.a" in the error messages leads me to believe that you're actually linking against the static libraries, not the shared.

One of the effects of the "-fast" switch is to link against the static libraries, so perhaps the -shared-intel is being overwritten.

Can you try putting -shared-intel at the *end* of your command line, at least after the -fast?

--Lorri

boatmorrow · ‎06-06-2012

Okay moving -shared-intel to the end did not work. However I removed -fast and the code compiled. According to the manual only the -xHOST flag (set during fast) can be overwitten. The answer was to include all the flags -fast includes without the -static.

Thanks for the help,

Payton

mecej4 · ‎10-26-2012

Fuchang, Please see Dr. Corden's comments in this thread, since they contain the solution to your difficulties. In other words, if your NetCDF library was not compiled with the proper flags to enable large arrays as discussed in this thread, you cannot successfully build your large array application.
