FLT_RADIX not defined when including MKL dirs.

The  following program:

 

#include <float.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(){
std::cout << FLT_RADIX << std::endl;
};

 

 

compiles and run fine with

 

$ c++ -o main main.cpp && ./main
2

 

 

but it does not compile anymore with

 

$ c++ -o main main.cpp -I/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/linux/compiler/include
main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
main.cpp:5:16: error: ‘FLT_RADIX’ was not declared in this scope
5 | std::cout << FLT_RADIX << std::endl;

 

Is that an expected behaviour of `intel-mkl` ?

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

>> I still haven't been able to make it compile while keeping the original `pkg_search_module` line.

You can use both the PkgConfig and the MKL Config but we need to specify the exact MKLROOT environment. 

Could you please try adding the below lines of code and let us know if you are still facing any issues?

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20..3.22)

project(MklTest LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

add_executable(main main.cpp)

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_search_module(MKL mkl-dynamic-lp64-iomp PATHS $ENV{MKLROOT})
target_include_directories(main PRIVATE PATHS $ENV{MKLROOT})
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE toml++)

Please refer to the below link for more details on pkg-config:

>>The reason is that it expects `MKL_ROOT` to be defined but the environment only defines `MKLROOT`.

No, it is not a bug and by default, MKLROOT was defined by the setvars.sh environment. MKL_ROOT may be required for non-standard install locations. Could you please refer to the CMakeLists for more details:

Hi,

 

Thanks for posting in Intel Communities.

 

When we tried the sample reproducer code provided by you with the Intel C++(ICPX) compiler, we were able to get the expected results without any errors. Please find the below screenshot and the command to run the code:

VarshaS_Intel_0-1694537725573.png

 

Compiling: icpx code.cpp -qmkl
Running: ./a.out

 

>>Is that an expected behaviour of `intel-mkl` ?

Could you please let us know what kind of errors you are facing with Intel MKL?

 

Could you please try and let us know if you are still facing any issues?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Varsha

Hello and thank you for support. The error disappears indeed with `icpx` compiler. Does it mean that MKL headers are not compatible with `gcc` or `clang`?

Hi,

 

>>Does it mean that MKL headers are not compatible with `gcc` or `clang`?

From the sample reproducer code, we could not see any MKL headers or code to include Intel MKL.

But, Intel oneMKL is compatible with gcc and clang compilers.

 

For proper compiling and linking of your code with several compilers and third-party libraries, and provides different interfaces to the functionality with Intel MKL, please refer to the Intel Link Line Advisor

 

Thanks & Regards,

Varsha

Oh, indeed, the MKL header does not actually appear in my example. I have boiled it down from the following situation, where adding MKL to my CMake project made compilaition fail:

 

main.cpp

 

#include <float.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() { std::cout << FLT_RADIX << std::endl; };

 

 

 CMakeLists.txt

 

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20..3.22)

project(MklTest LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

add_executable(main main.cpp)

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Works if I remove this snippet.
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_search_module(MKL mkl-dynamic-lp64-iomp)
target_include_directories(main PRIVATE ${MKL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE toml++) 

 

 

 FWIU, the the generated variable MKL_INCLUDE_DIRS expands to several paths, including the actual MKL headers and the `compiler/include` header that makes compilation fails with the "undeclared FLT_RADIX" error if the `CCX` environment variable is set to either a GCC or a CLANG compiler, but not if set to ICPX.

 

Considering that you do expect MKL to be compatible with other compilers and libraries.. then maybe the problem actually lies within the CMake heuristic supposed to find MKL modules?

 

At this point, maybe I should provide more information about my system and a step by step procedure to help you reproduce. Sorry for not having done this earlier:

Hi,

 

Thanks for providing all the details and reply.

 

When we tried to run the CMakeLists provided by you, we were able to get errors but we have included the MKL directories properly. Could you please try the below-attached CMakeLists.txt using the sample reproducer code provided by you with GCC compiler as well as Intel LLVM compiler?

Please find the below screenshots for more details:

VarshaS_Intel_1-1695306380759.png

Using GNU Compiler

VarshaS_Intel_3-1695306546949.png

Using Intel LLVM Compiler

Could you please try and let us know if you are still facing any issues?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Varsha

Thank you for support again. The CMakeLists.txt you provide does fix the build process. From what I understand, the problem stemed from `find_package(MKL CONFIG REQUIRED)` and `pkg_search_module(MKL mkl-dynamic-lp64-iomp)` not properly loaded from environment variable `MKLROOT` because they actually expect `MKL_ROOT` to be defined instead, is that correct?

I would rather expect `find_package(MLK CONFIG REQUIRED)` to work out of the box. Maybe this should be considered a bug in `FindMKL.cmake`? Or a failure of the pacman package intel-oneapi-mkl to meet the environment expected by `cmake` and `MKL` to work together?

 

Also, I am confused because the project I'm working on does not use

find_package(MKL CONFIG REQUIRED)

as you suggest in your `CMakeLists.txt`, but

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_search_module(MKL mkl-dynamic-lp64-iomp)

 instead, which still leads to the the same failure. What difference does it make?

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

>>The CMakeLists.txt you provide does fix the build process.

Glad to know that you are able to run and build it without any issues.

 

When we do initialize the Intel MKL environment it will set the MKLROOT path.

echo $MKLROOT
/opt/intel/oneapi/mkl/2023.2.0

We have changed the CMakeLists file and it is working as expected. Please find the attached file for details and screenshot:

Hi, well, although the example toy project does compile with the CMakeLists.txt files that you suggest, a few questions remain unanswered:

 

1) The project I have been given uses

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_search_module(MKL mkl-dynamic-lp64-iomp)

 instead of

find_package(MKL CONFIG REQUIRED)

Why ? What difference does it make? I still haven't been able to make it compile while keeping the original `pkg_search_module` line.

 

2) The line

find_package(MKL CONFIG REQUIRED)

 does not even work out-of-the box, and we need to tweak it into

find_package(MKL CONFIG REQUIRED PATHS $ENV{MKLROOT})

to make it work. The reason is that it expects `MKL_ROOT` to be defined but the environment only defines `MKLROOT`. Is this expected behaviour? Or is this a bug in `FindMKL.cmake` ? Or is this a bug in my distribution / environment?

You can use both the PkgConfig and the MKL Config but we need to specify the exact MKLROOT environment. 

Could you please try adding the below lines of code and let us know if you are still facing any issues?

No, it is not a bug and by default, MKLROOT was defined by the setvars.sh environment. MKL_ROOT may be required for non-standard install locations. Could you please refer to the CMakeLists for more details:

Hello, and thank you for the explanations and the docs. I'll look into the non-standard installations to track the reason for the mismatched varname, but I guess this gets out of scope for this forum then Thank you for your patience, and best regards,
