/iface:cvf and OPENMP in Fortran

[carlos_zamora]

Hello,

I have been playing with OPENMP and Fortan in both Windows and Linux platforms. In Windows, I have noticed that whenever I set the /iface:cvf compiler flag and, of course, alsouse /Qopenmp, I get the following linking error:

Linking...

LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'LIBCMT' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

libguide40.lib(kmp_ftn_stdcall_import.lobj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _kmp_set_library_gang referenced in function _KMP_SET_LIBRARY_GANG@0

Debug/HelloWorldOpenMP.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved external

This type of linking error happens with all Fortran-External Procedures-Calling Conventions, but the C, REFERENCE flag. Anyway, I wonder if the error I get is because the libraries we have are not up to date, or for some reason the /iface:CVF flag is not compatible with the /Qopenmp compiler flag.

We want to parallelize out power systems applications, most of the code is in FORTRAN, but we also use C and C++ to implemet some parts of our system. I think that this is the reason why in our build procedures we need to have the /iface:cvf flag set.

For completeness I have attached a small HelloWorld program where this happens (though I think it is not needed to reproduce this problem).

I appreciate any help with this issue.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hello Carlos,

What version of the Intel Fortran compiler are you using on Windows? I'm using the Intel Fortran 7.1 compiler, which has/iface:default (enables CVF calling convention compatibility) and/iface:stdref options but not /iface:cvf. I'm able to use either /iface:default or /iface:stdref with the /Qopenmp option to compile an OpenMP program.

Best regards,

Henry

Thanks Henry for your reply,

From theHelp-About menu:

Intel Fortran Compiler Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, Version 8.0.1877.2003

I have the following options set for the HelloOMP program:

/nologo /Zi /Od /Qopenmp /iface:cvf /module:"Debug/" /object:"Debug/" /traceback /check:bounds /libs:static /dbglibs /c

I am able to compile with /iface:default, but not with the /iface:stdref and /iface:cvf flags (of course with the /Qopenmp compiler flag). Moreover

I get different errors with these two flags:

1.- With the /iface:cvf flag

As I said before, this problem may be related to the library versions that we have.

Thanks again,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for sending your test program. I wasn't able to reproduce the error with the Intel Fortran 8.0 compiler. Please submit this issue to Intel Premier Support.

Best regards,

Henry
