How to Build the LLVM* OpenMP* Libraries
This repository requires CMake v2.8.0 or later. LLVM and Clang need a more recent version which also applies for in-tree builds. For more information than available in this document please see LLVM's CMake documentation and the official documentation.
How to Call CMake Initially, then Repeatedly
When calling CMake for the first time, all needed compiler options must be specified on the command line. After this initial call to CMake, the compiler definitions must not be included for further calls to CMake. Other options can be specified on the command line multiple times including all definitions in the build options section below.
Example of configuring, building, reconfiguring, rebuilding:
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ .. # Initial configuration $ make ... $ make clean $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. # Second configuration $ make ... $ rm -rf * $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ .. # Third configuration $ make
Notice in the example how the compiler definitions are only specified for an empty build directory, but other build options are used at any time.
The file
CMakeCache.txt
which is created after the first call to CMake is a configuration file which holds all values for the build options. These values can be changed using a text editor to modifyCMakeCache.txt
as opposed to using definitions on the command line.To have CMake create a particular type of build generator file simply include the
-G <Generator name>
option:$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ...
You can see a list of generators CMake supports by executing the cmake command with no arguments.
Instructions to Build
$ cd openmp_top_level/ [ this directory with libomptarget/, runtime/, etc. ]
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
[ Unix* Libraries ]
$ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C Compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ Compiler> ..
[ Windows* Libraries ]
$ cmake -G <Generator Type> -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C Compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ Compiler> -DCMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER=[ml | ml64] -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
$ make install
CMake Options
Builds with CMake can be customized by means of options as already seen above. One possibility is to pass them via the command line:
$ cmake -DOPTION=<value> path/to/source
Note
The first value listed is the respective default for that option.
Generic Options
For full documentation consult the CMake manual or execute
cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME
to get information about a specific
variable.
- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE =
Release|Debug|RelWithDebInfo
- Build type can be
Release
,Debug
, orRelWithDebInfo
which chooses the optimization level and presence of debugging symbols. - CMAKE_C_COMPILER = <C compiler name>
- Specify the C compiler.
- CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER = <C++ compiler name>
- Specify the C++ compiler.
- CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER = <Fortran compiler name>
- Specify the Fortran compiler. This option is only needed when
LIBOMP_FORTRAN_MODULES is
ON
(see below). So typically, a Fortran compiler is not needed during the build. - CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER =
ml|ml64
- This option is only relevant for Windows*.
Options for all Libraries
- OPENMP_ENABLE_WERROR =
OFF|ON
- Treat warnings as errors and fail, if a compiler warning is triggered.
- OPENMP_LIBDIR_SUFFIX =
""
- Extra suffix to append to the directory where libraries are to be installed.
- OPENMP_TEST_C_COMPILER =
${CMAKE_C_COMPILER}
- Compiler to use for testing. Defaults to the compiler that was also used for building.
- OPENMP_TEST_CXX_COMPILER =
${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}
- Compiler to use for testing. Defaults to the compiler that was also used for building.
- OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR =
/path/to/built/llvm/tools
- Additional path to search for LLVM tools needed by tests.
- OPENMP_LLVM_LIT_EXECUTABLE =
/path/to/llvm-lit
- Specify full path to
llvm-lit
executable for running tests. The default is to search thePATH
and the directory in OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR. - OPENMP_FILECHECK_EXECUTABLE =
/path/to/FileCheck
- Specify full path to
FileCheck
executable for running tests. The default is to search thePATH
and the directory in OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR.
Options for libomp
- LIBOMP_ARCH =
aarch64|arm|i386|mic|mips|mips64|ppc64|ppc64le|x86_64|riscv64
- The default value for this option is chosen based on probing the compiler for
architecture macros (e.g., is
__x86_64__
predefined by compiler?). - LIBOMP_MIC_ARCH =
knc|knf
- Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel(R) MIC Architecture) to
build for. This value is ignored if LIBOMP_ARCH does not equal
mic
. - LIBOMP_LIB_TYPE =
normal|profile|stubs
- Library type can be
normal
,profile
, orstubs
. - LIBOMP_USE_VERSION_SYMBOLS =
ON|OFF
- Use versioned symbols for building the library. This option only makes sense
for ELF based libraries where version symbols are supported (Linux*, some BSD*
variants). It is
OFF
by default for Windows* and macOS*, butON
for other Unix based operating systems. - LIBOMP_ENABLE_SHARED =
ON|OFF
Build a shared library. If this option is
OFF
, static OpenMP libraries will be built instead of dynamic ones.Note
Static libraries are not supported on Windows*.
- LIBOMP_FORTRAN_MODULES =
OFF|ON
- Create the Fortran modules (requires Fortran compiler).
macOS* Fat Libraries
On macOS* machines, it is possible to build universal (or fat) libraries which include both i386 and x86_64 architecture objects in a single archive.
$ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES='i386;x86_64' ..
$ make
There is also an option LIBOMP_OSX_ARCHITECTURES which can be set in case
this is an LLVM source tree build. It will only apply for the libomp
library
avoids having the entire LLVM/Clang build produce universal binaries.
Optional Features
- LIBOMP_USE_ADAPTIVE_LOCKS =
ON|OFF
- Include adaptive locks, based on Intel(R) Transactional Synchronization
Extensions (Intel(R) TSX). This feature is x86 specific and turned
ON
by default for IA-32 architecture and Intel(R) 64 architecture. - LIBOMP_USE_INTERNODE_ALIGNMENT =
OFF|ON
- Align certain data structures on 4096-byte. This option is useful on
multi-node systems where a small
CACHE_LINE
setting leads to false sharing. - LIBOMP_OMPT_SUPPORT =
ON|OFF
- Include support for the OpenMP Tools Interface (OMPT).
This option is supported and
ON
by default for x86, x86_64, AArch64, PPC64 and RISCV64 on Linux* and macOS*. This option isOFF
if this feature is not supported for the platform. - LIBOMP_OMPT_OPTIONAL =
ON|OFF
- Include support for optional OMPT functionality. This option is ignored if
LIBOMP_OMPT_SUPPORT is
OFF
. - LIBOMP_STATS =
OFF|ON
- Include stats-gathering code.
- LIBOMP_USE_DEBUGGER =
OFF|ON
- Include the friendly debugger interface.
- LIBOMP_USE_HWLOC =
OFF|ON
- Use OpenMPI's hwloc library for topology detection and affinity.
- LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR =
/path/to/hwloc/install/dir
- Specify install location of hwloc. The configuration system will look for
hwloc.h
in${LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR}/include
and the library in${LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR}/lib
. The default is/usr/local
. This option is only used if LIBOMP_USE_HWLOC isON
.
Additional Compiler Flags
These flags are appended, they do not overwrite any of the preset flags.
- LIBOMP_CPPFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional C preprocessor flags.
- LIBOMP_CXXFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional C++ compiler flags.
- LIBOMP_ASMFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional assembler flags.
- LIBOMP_LDFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional linker flags.
- LIBOMP_LIBFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional libraries to link.
- LIBOMP_FFLAGS = <space-separated flags>
- Additional Fortran compiler flags.
Options for libomptarget
- LIBOMPTARGET_OPENMP_HEADER_FOLDER =
""
- Path of the folder that contains
omp.h
. This is required for testing out-of-tree builds. - LIBOMPTARGET_OPENMP_HOST_RTL_FOLDER =
""
- Path of the folder that contains
libomp.so
. This is required for testing out-of-tree builds.
Options for NVPTX device RTL
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_ENABLE_BCLIB =
ON|OFF
- Enable CUDA LLVM bitcode offloading device RTL. This is used for link time optimization of the OMP runtime and application code. This option is enabled by default if the build system determines that CMAKE_C_COMPILER is able to compile and link the library.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_CUDA_COMPILER =
""
- Location of a CUDA compiler capable of emitting LLVM bitcode. Currently only the Clang compiler is supported. This is only used when building the CUDA LLVM bitcode offloading device RTL. If unspecified and the CMake C compiler is Clang, then Clang is used.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_BC_LINKER =
""
- Location of a linker capable of linking LLVM bitcode objects. This is only used when building the CUDA LLVM bitcode offloading device RTL. If unspecified and the CMake C compiler is Clang and there exists a llvm-link binary in the directory containing Clang, then this llvm-link binary is used.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_ALTERNATE_HOST_COMPILER =
""
Host compiler to use with NVCC. This compiler is not going to be used to produce any binary. Instead, this is used to overcome the input compiler checks done by NVCC. E.g. if using a default host compiler that is not compatible with NVCC, this option can be use to pass to NVCC a valid compiler to avoid the error.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES =
35
- List of CUDA compute capabilities that should be supported by the NVPTX device RTL. E.g. for compute capabilities 6.0 and 7.0, the option "60,70" should be used. Compute capability 3.5 is the minimum required.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_DEBUG =
OFF|ON
- Enable printing of debug messages from the NVPTX device RTL.
- LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES =
