Compilation issues with ICPC 2021.4 and C++14

[arc_lupo]

Hei,

I am trying to compile the following code

#include <memory>
#include <algorithm>

// Check the version language macro, but skip MSVC because
// MSVC reports 199711 even in MSVC 2017.
#if __cplusplus < 201402L && !defined(_MSC_VER) && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
#error "insufficient support for C++14"
#endif

int main(){
    auto ptr = std::make_unique<int>(42);
    constexpr int max = std::max(0, 1);
    (void) ptr;
    (void) max;
    return 0;
}

 with the latest intel-compiler (icpc version 2021.4.0 (gcc version 11.2.1 compatibility)) using icpc -std=c++14, running on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, but it fails with the following error:

In file included from /usr/include/c++/11/cwchar(44),

compilation aborted for test.cpp (code 2)

In comparison, g++ (gcc-Version 11.2.1 20210816) works fine. What can I do to compile the code piece with icpc, too?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We have tried compiling and executing the shared code using icpc 2021.4 and it runs fine.

We have used below command to compile the code.

icpc -std=c++14<filename>

Below are our environment details.

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-76-generic

For compatibility, Kindly refer the link for Intel® C++ Compiler Classic System Requirements

Hei,

I tried again, but failed. As far as I can see it might be related to a new feature in GCC11 (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-11.1.0/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#index-malloc-function-attribute, https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/changes.html#c-family), which allows malloc to have attributes. Is that function supported by the Intel compiler?

Thanks!

Hi,

It seems issue is because of the OpenSUSE Tumbleweed currently you are working on. We have tried compiling and running the code on 11.1.0 as well and it compiles and runs fine. Attached the screenshot for your reference.

Hei,

no, the issue still persists, and short of changing the OS I did not find a solution yet.

Hi,

We would like to inform you that the gcc versions supported for ICC are between 4.8 - 9.2 and the query was regarding the gcc version 11.2.1. In addition, the list of supported OS are available in the link shared below.

Hi,

Reminder:

Has the information provided helped? We would like to recommend you to try with the supported gcc versions as mentioned.

Hei,

switching to those GCC-versions is not possible for me. Moreover, the issue seems to lie in glibc 2.34 which uses exactly that function. GCC 11.x supports it, but LLVM/Clang 13 do not (https://githubplus.com/bradking). Moreover, nvcc seems to have the same issue: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/cuda-11-5-samples-throw-multiple-error-attribute-malloc-does-not-take-arguments/192750

Therefore, I decided to drop ICC until an update will be available which fixes this error.

Thanks for the help!
