Hello,
When I played with array operations in Cilk Plus, I found the same assignment might return different results with gcc and g++. For example, in array[0:5] = array[10:5], we expect that five elements 10 to 14 are copied to elements 0 to 4 in order. There is no overlap in the example. It works when it is compiled with g++. However, it goes awry when it is compiled with gcc. Actually, another five elements 10 to 6 are copied.
Is it an error or a bug? Thanks.
Configuration:
gcc (Ubuntu 5.3.0-3ubuntu1~14.04) / g++ (Ubuntu 5.3.0-3ubuntu1~14.04)
Code: arr.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cilk/cilk.h>
int main()
{
int a[99];
int n = 20;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
a[i] = i + 1;
a[0:5] = a[10:5]; //<--------
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
printf("a[%d] = %d\n",i,a);
return 0;
}
Compile with gcc:
gcc arr.c -fcilkplus -lcilkrts
./a.out
a[0] = 11
a[1] = 10
a[2] = 9
a[3] = 8
a[4] = 7
a[5] = 6
a[6] = 7
a[7] = 8
a[8] = 9
a[9] = 10
a[10] = 11
a[11] = 12
a[12] = 13
a[13] = 14
a[14] = 15
a[15] = 16
a[16] = 17
a[17] = 18
a[18] = 19
a[19] = 20
Compile with g++:
g++ arr.c -fcilkplus -lcilkrts
./a.out
a[0] = 11
a[1] = 12
a[2] = 13
a[3] = 14
a[4] = 15
a[5] = 6
a[6] = 7
a[7] = 8
a[8] = 9
a[9] = 10
a[10] = 11
a[11] = 12
a[12] = 13
a[13] = 14
a[14] = 15
a[15] = 16
a[16] = 17
a[17] = 18
a[18] = 19
a[19] = 20
