I'm trying to use cilkscreen to detect some race conditions in a code. I'm compiling my code using 

g++-5 -g foo.cpp -fcilkplus -std=c++14 -lcilkrts -ldl -O2

However, when I launch cilkscreen I get the following error message:

cilkview ./a.out

Cilkview: Generating scalability data
Cilkview Scalability Analyzer V2.0.0, Build 4421
1100189201
Error: No Cilk code found in program

Should I add some more option to g++ ? Or does cilkscreen only works with code compiled with icc ?

FWIW: I'm using 

gcc version 5.3.1 20160301 [gcc-5-branch revision 233849] (SUSE Linux)

Cilkscreen/cilkview works only with icc/icpc.

  • How do you know ? Any reference for that ? – hivert Jul 09 '16 at 17:36
  • I released the latest version of Cilk tools, so my comment must be fairly accurate :). You can also check if the runtime library (libcilkrts.5.so) that comes with GCC contains a section named "itt_notify_tab". Cilk tools need to read that section to perform analysis. – Hansang Bae Jul 11 '16 at 13:43
  • Thanks for all the infos ! Sorry for my skepticism, but judging from your SO profile and reputation, I couldn't guess that you have such an expertise (I was also too lazy to google your name, again Sorry for that). Anyway, It's cool to have such skilled people following questions on SO. Tanks again. – hivert Jul 13 '16 at 07:31
