issues to convert project to use DPC++ 2023

[Daniel_D]

Hi,

I try to convert my project to use the Intel DPC++ 2023 compiler to benefit from its option to use GPUs. Unfortunately I use boost and that seems to be something the compiler does not support. I get houndres of:

\boost_1_81_0\boost/winapi/get_last_error.hpp(21,53): : warning : '__stdcall' calling convention is not supported for this target [-Wignored-attributes]

BOOST_WINAPI_IMPORT_EXCEPT_WM boost::winapi::DWORD_ BOOST_WINAPI_WINAPI_CC GetLastError(BOOST_WINAPI_DETAIL_VOID);

11:04:59:344 1> #define WINAPI __stdcall

for each call of a boost function. And I also get an error complaining the thgreading model:

\boost_1_81_0\boost/config/requires_threads.hpp(82,4): : error : "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the correct command line options for threading: either /MT /MTd /MD or /MDd"

Does anyone have had the same issues with DPC++ and boost in the past? Any way to solve this?

Using the same codebase and project/solution with the Intel C++ 2023 toolkit works without any warnings/error.

Thanks.

Hi,

/MDd for debug and /MD for release version is already in the command line:

section from the debug configuration.

//I"T:\3rdParty\rapidjson" //I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8/include" /Zi /D "BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_WINDLL" /WX- /MDd /std:c++17 /EHsc /W1 /nologo

please note that all include options starts with //

Boost version is 1.81.0 (boost_1_81_0) - I compiled the libraries with clang for use with the intel compiler; works with Intel C++ 2023.

5. Why you have included rapidjson and CUDA files in the command line?

The commandline is not complete - I just want to show you that /MDd is already one option - you suggested:
"Have you tried to add the compiler linker option /MT or /MD in the command line while running? "

I need rapidjson and cuda for the project. I want to keep some parts of the development as a cuda kernel - others I want to switch to a kernel that uses intel DPC on the internal intel gpu. If that all works well I want to switch more and more kernel from cuda to DPC. Since it is a lot I planend to switch step by step.

6. What is the option present in the following path?

for debug:

for release:

If you need I can give you access to my development computer so that you can see yourself?

Thanks.

The easiest method to reproduce this problem is to create a default DPC++ project and add the coost include. Please floow these steps to reproduce the problem.

1. create a new sample DPC++ project in VS (I think the version op VS does not really matter)

- "File" -> "New" -> "Project"

- select on the right side "DPC++ Console Application"

- click "Next"

- click "Create"

2. Insert at at line 29 : #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

3. right click on your solution -> "Properties" to change the project properties

- select on the left "DPC++" and open the tree

- select "General"

- on the right side add the path to you boost include files to "Additional Include Directories"

- click on "Apply" and "OK" to close

4. build the project "Build" -> "Rebuild Solution"

That's all. You will then see all the warnings and errors I talk about. I guess these are from missing predefined macros.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi,

As per the system requirements, your GPU did not meet the prerequisite. Please refer to the below link for more details.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/system-requirements/intel-oneapi-dpcpp-system-requirements.html

We can only offer direct support for Intel hardware platforms that the Intel® oneAPI product supports. Intel provides instructions on how to compile oneAPI code for both CPU and a wide range of GPU accelerators. 

Please refer to the below link for more details.

Hi,

not sure which GPU you referring to that is not supported. I was hoping that I can use the GPU that is build into my Intel CPU. As already written I use a Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) that have a GPU build into the chip. I do not want to use any of the nVidia GPUs. I use CUDA for them and it should stay that way for the foreseeable future.

The sample application works quite - and uses the GPU on the i9 - the same way I want to use it. I just cannot compile it if I add the line:

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

This sample is completely free of any use of the nVidia GPU and I dop NOT include that is anyway related to CUDA. No cuda includes, no cuda libraries. The code should never execute on any of the nVidias. I want to use the i9 GPU only - nothing else.

Hope that is somehow possible - with the use of boost.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

>>That's all. You will then see all the warnings and errors I talk about. I guess these are from missing predefined macros.

We did not face any issues with the boost library while building. I have Intel(R) UHD Graphics in my system. You can try building boost using the Intel compiler if you have Intel GPU in your system. You can follow the procedure for building boost using the Intel compiler from the below link. 

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/building-boost-with-oneapi.html?wapkw=building%20boost%20with%20intel%20oneAPI?wapkw=building%20boost%20with%20intel%20oneAPI

>>\boost_1_81_0\boost/config/requires_threads.hpp(82,4): : error : "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the correct command line options for threading: either /MT /MTd /MD or /MDd"

You can include the macro before including the header file in your DPC++ code.

#define BOOST_HAS_THREADS
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

Please let us know if you still face any issues.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I will create the boost library again following your guidelines later today.

Please keep in mind that your own "Intel C++ Compiler 2023", all my installed version of the Microsoft compiler (v143..), Clang on windows and Linux and GCC on Linux can work with this version of boost that I use without any issue; without the define "BOOST_HAS_THREADS". So my first idea was that the boost lib seems to be OK - but that can also be wrong.

I added #define BOOST_HAS_THREADS as you recommend. Now I see some warnings that may need some attention since they are pointing to the calling convention:

06:38:41:122 1> T:\\3rdParty\\boost_1_81_0\boost/type_traits/detail/is_member_function_pointer_cxx_11.hpp(48,43): : warning : '__thiscall' calling convention is not supported for this target [-Wignored-attributes]
06:38:41:122 1> struct is_member_function_pointer<Ret (BOOST_TT_DEF_CALL C::*)(Args...)BOOST_TT_NOEXCEPT_DECL> : public true_type {};

My suspect that a define is missing is because the printed error messages from boost comers from the fact that _MSC_VER is defines as 1934 when I use the Intel DPC++ 2023. This causes:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#define BOOST_TT_DEF_CALL __thiscall     // <- compiler sees this
#else
#define BOOST_TT_DEF_CALL
#endif

that will led to this 

template <class Ret, class C, class...Args BOOST_TT_NOEXCEPT_PARAM>
struct is_member_function_pointer<Ret (BOOST_TT_DEF_CALL C::*)(Args...)BOOST_TT_NOEXCEPT_DECL> : public true_type {};

and finally to this:
06:38:41:122 1> T:\\3rdParty\\boost_1_81_0\boost/type_traits/detail/is_member_function_pointer_cxx_11.hpp(48,43): : warning : '__thiscall' calling convention is not supported for this target [-Wignored-attributes]

without the define the compiles comes to this point in file "requires_threads.hpp" of boost at line 82 - which also indicates that boost assumes a MSC compiler is compiling:

#elif defined _MSC_VER
// Microsoft Visual C++
//
// Must remain the last #elif since some other vendors (Metrowerks, for
// example) also #define _MSC_VER
# error "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the correct command line options for threading: either /MT /MTd /MD or /MDd"

In the same file at line 37 boost checks for an intel compiler:

#elif defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) || defined(__ICL) || defined(__ICC) || defined(__ECC)

but non of these are defines when using the DPC++ 2023.

[Daniel_D]

Hi,

I made a smaller project to demonstrate the problem.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

I can compile this without any error with all compilers I have: MSVC, clang, gcc, intel c++ and also intel dpc++.

If I modify this program to:

#include <iostream>

#define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB // no auto link
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

I can compile it without any error with all compilers - except the Intel DPC++. If I add

#include <iostream>

#define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB // no auto link
#define BOOST_HAS_THREADS
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

it compiles with all compilers. The Intel DPC++ issues lots of warnings about not supported calling conventions:

08:10:11:252 1> T:\\3rdParty\\boost_1_81_0\boost/type_traits/detail/is_member_function_pointer_cxx_11.hpp(399,42): : warning : '__thiscall' calling convention is not supported for this target [-Wignored-attributes]
08:10:11:252 1> struct is_member_function_pointer<Ret(BOOST_TT_DEF_CALL C::*)(Args...)const & BOOST_TT_NOEXCEPT_DECL> : public true_type {};

Is that expected? Is it save to ignore this warning?

Thanks,

Daniel

[SeshaP_Intel · Accepted solution]

Hi,

In this 2nd case, you can explicitly define the BOOST_HAS_THREADS macro in the source code to remove the errors while using the DPC++ compiler.

In the 3rd case, you can add the additional compiler option /Wno-ignored-attributes in the command line so that can be used to ignore the warnings.

Please find the below screenshot for more details.

Hope this resolves your issue.
