VDEXP undefined on windows for mkl 2017 update 2

[xian-zhong_guous_cd-]

I have following compiling error using mkl 2017 update 2 on windows (It only happens on windows; it's ok on linux)

.error: identifier "VDEXP" is undefined
      VDEXP(&size, &x[0], &expx[0]);

How do you build the program?

Would you like to use https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor to check whether it solves your problem or not?

[xian-zhong_guous_cd-]

Yes, I've used the linker advisor. By the way, we've been using mkl all along. This compiling error only occurs with 2017 update 2 on windows.

Sam, that's strange : I see this API is declared into mkl_vml_functions.h as well as in 32 & 64 bit libraries.  MKL 2017 u2, windows.

/* Exponential function: r = e^a */
..............
_MKL_API(void,VDEXP,(const MKL_INT *n, const double a[], double r[]))

[xian-zhong_guous_cd-]

It could be our compiler issue. We recently upgraded our intel compiler.

[xian-zhong_guous_cd-]

No, it is not compiler issue. I got the same compiling error using previous compiler.

[Gennady_F_Intel]

well, I use vdexp.c example from <mklroot>\example\vmlc.

compiler - icl, v 2017  or cl - version 18.00

the code is compiled and executed as expected. MKL v.2017 u2. 

        cl /w /MT /I"C:\APPS\Intel2017\compilers_and_libraries\windows\mkl\include" /Fevdexp.exe exe vdexp.c   "C:\APPS\Intel2017\compilers_and_libraries\w

I still have this compiler error using intel 17.2 c/c++ compiler + mkl 2017.2. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[Gennady_F_Intel]

Do you mean - ."error: identifier "VDEXP" is undefined"?  
You may check if this symbol exist in libs (mkl_core.lib or mkl_rt.lib) you linked with this case and therefore the problem with the wrong linking line or etc

[xian-zhong_guous_cd-]

It is a compiler error. I have no problem using intel 16.3 c/c++ + mkl 2017.2. It seems we miss some flag of intel 17.2 or naming convention for calling fortran may have been changed for intel 17.2.

I think that a compiler error message has been mistaken to be a linker error message in what has been said in this thread. The message "error: identifier "VDEXP" is undefined" is from the compiler, which is complaining that there is no prototype for the external function VDEXP. You should probably add #include <mkl_vml.h> in your C source file to take care of this.

[Jingwei_Z_Intel]

The correct name to use in C is vdExp.

vdexp and VDEXP are intended to be used for FORTRAN. If you want to use them in C, please add underscore at the end (vdexp_ and VDEXP_) and pass all parameters as reference.

Thanks,
