Seg Fault with cilk -.-

[Ryan_M_3]

OK good news finally got my compiler up and linked properly xD. Bad news seg fault -.-. OK I'm using the cpp file of Fibonacci numbers provided by cilkplus.org . So when I go to add the extra arguement ex. ./a.out 2. I get a seg fault -.-. Any ideas. I DID NOT WRITE THE FILE lol.

cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ which g++
/home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/bin/g++
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ g++ -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ g++ -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$ ./a.out 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
cute_rj@Cute:~/cilk-fib$

Hi Ryan,

     I am not able to reproduce your issue. I tried the testcase and I got the following output:

/home/gcc> ../cilkplus-install/bin/g++ -fcilkplus fib.cpp -lcilkrts
/home/gcc> ./a.out
Fibonacci number #39 is 63245986.
Calculated in 0.890 seconds using 8 workers.
/home/gcc> ./a.out  2
Fibonacci number #39 is 63245986.
Calculated in 2.115 seconds using 2 workers.

Can you try to use gdb and see what is going on? (please recompile the source file with -g flag).

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

Funny thing is my professor has the same problem lol. I have no idea how to use gdb xD trying ddd

[Ryan_M_3]

DDD didnt even want to help me. Gah

[Ryan_M_3]

oh all we have is the compiler, no add ons or extensions and we built the complier

[Ryan_M_3]

DDD doesn't seem to want to help me -.-

Rebuild the application using the following command:

   g++ -ggdb -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp

This the -ggdb option will generate a binary with debug symbols for GDB.  Now execute the application under GDB:

   gdb ./a.out

When you get the GDB prompt, enter the command:

   run 2

This will run the application, and pass it 2 as it's parameter.  When GDB stops due to the error, issue the "bt" command to get a "backtrace". This should show you where in your application you are.  Post the results here.

This is what I got even though it don't make sense to me haha

ok waiting for approval for post -.-

[Ryan_M_3]

Oh thanks for taking the time to help me!

[Balaji_I_Intel]

Are you using this compiler on a 64-bit machine? In your last thread you mentioned that you had LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the following:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/lib

If you are using this on the 64-bit machine, then replace LD_LIBRARY_PATH with /home/cute_rj/gcc-cilk/lib64.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

[Ryan_M_3]

nope I'm using 32 bit virtual machine on a 64 bit computer 

[Balaji_I_Intel]

Yes, I am able to reproduce this issue.  I will get back to you when I get a solution.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

[Ryan_M_3]

Thanks! Hopefully this helps me down in the long run for my master's work

[Balaji_I_Intel]

Hi Ryan,

    We have found a fix for this issue. I am attaching a file called cilk-fiber_unix.cpp. Please save this file (and overwrite the existing one) in cilkplus-gcc/libcilkrts/runtime directory and then reconfigure and remake.

Please let me know if you still have issues.

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.

[Ryan_M_3]

Appreciate it! Will let you know!
