======================================== 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 `_. .. contents:: :local: 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: .. code-block:: console $ 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 modify ``CMakeCache.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 `` option: .. code-block:: console $ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ... You can see a list of generators CMake supports by executing the cmake command with no arguments. Instructions to Build ===================== .. code-block:: console $ cd openmp_top_level/ [ this directory with libomptarget/, runtime/, etc. ] $ mkdir build $ cd build [ Unix* Libraries ] $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER= -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER= .. [ Windows* Libraries ] $ cmake -G -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER= -DCMAKE_CXX_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: .. code-block:: console $ cmake -DOPTION= 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``, or ``RelWithDebInfo`` which chooses the optimization level and presence of debugging symbols. **CMAKE_C_COMPILER** = Specify the C compiler. **CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER** = Specify the C++ compiler. **CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER** = 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 the ``PATH`` 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 the ``PATH`` and the directory in **OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR**. **OPENMP_NOT_EXECUTABLE** = ``/path/to/not`` Specify full path to ``not`` executable for running tests. The default is to search the ``PATH`` 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``, or ``stubs``. **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*, but ``ON`` 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. .. code-block:: console $ 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 is ``OFF`` 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** is ``ON``. Additional Compiler Flags """"""""""""""""""""""""" These flags are **appended**, they do not overwrite any of the preset flags. **LIBOMP_CPPFLAGS** = Additional C preprocessor flags. **LIBOMP_CXXFLAGS** = Additional C++ compiler flags. **LIBOMP_ASMFLAGS** = Additional assembler flags. **LIBOMP_LDFLAGS** = Additional linker flags. **LIBOMP_LIBFLAGS** = Additional libraries to link. **LIBOMP_FFLAGS** = Additional Fortran compiler flags. Options for ``libomptarget`` ---------------------------- An installed LLVM package is a prerequisite for building ``libomptarget`` library. So ``libomptarget`` may only be built in two cases: - As a project of a regular LLVM build via **LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS**, **LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS**, or **LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES** or - as a standalone project build that uses a pre-installed LLVM package. In this mode one has to make sure that the default CMake ``find_package(LLVM)`` call `succeeds `_. **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``, and ``libLLVMSupport.so`` when profiling is enabled. This is required for testing. 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, either the Clang from the build itself is used (i.e. an in-tree build with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS including clang), or the Clang compiler that the build uses as C compiler (CMAKE_C_COMPILER; only if it is Clang). The latter is common for a stage2-build or when using -DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES=openmp. **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, either the llvm-link in that same directory as LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_CUDA_COMPILER is used, or the llvm-link from the same build (available in an in-tree build). **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_LIT_ARGS** = ``""`` Arguments given to lit. ``make check-libomptarget`` and ``make check-libomptarget-*`` are affected. For example, use ``LIBOMPTARGET_LIT_ARGS="-j4"`` to force ``lit`` to start only four parallel jobs instead of by default the number of threads in the system.
