Offload program with STL vector

[H__Kamil]

Hi,

I've got a problem with my program. It's simple code which show my problem.

#pragma offload_attribute (push, target(mic))
#include <vector>
#include "offload.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#pragma offload_attribute (pop)

class A
{
	public:
	A() {}
	std::vector<int> V;
};


int main()
{
	A* wsk = new A();
	wsk->V.push_back(1);
	
	#pragma offload target(mic) in(wsk)
	{
		printf("%d", wsk->V[0]);
		
		printf("END OFFLOAD");
	}
		
	return 0;
}

I've got a class object with STL vector which is container for data needed to computation. I would like to create object on host, initialize data for computation on host too, then i want to move class object to do computation on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. In result i got error:

offload error: process on the device 0 was terminated by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

Why it doesn't work correctly? How to transfer STL vector to coprocessor?

When the data you want to pass between the host and the coprocessor is not bit-wise copyable, as in this case, you need to use the virtual shared memory offload model. Check out the sample code that comes with the compilers (which installs in /opt/intel/composerxe/Samples/en_US/C++/mic_samples/shrd_sampleCPP by default) and the section on shared memory programming in the C++ User's Guide in the Intel® Software Documentation Library (https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/522494 for the 15.0 version of the compiler.)
