[Valgrind-users] Valgrind 1.9.6 compilation with the Intel compiler icc

[Eric P. <eri...@ce...>]

Hello valgrind users,

I am trying to compile Valgrind with the Intel compiler icc 7.1.
But the "configure" command does not accept icc.
Here is the "configure" output:

# setenv CC icc
# setenv CXX icc
# ./configure --prefix `pwd`
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking whether ln -s works... yes

configure: error: Valgrind relies on GCC to be compiled
#

Does anybody know a way to compile valgrind with icc ?
Thanks.

Regards.

Valgrind requires gcc, it uses various gcc-specific features.

Julian got it working a while ago, but it required a few changes.

Can I ask why you are trying to use the Intel compiler?  Presumably you
have gcc on your Linux system.  If you are using it to get better
performance, there's not much point because Valgrind spends most of its
time in code it generates itself.

For record, valgrind runs fine any code generated by icc (and ifc if that is
relevant) as long as the sse instructions are avoided.

Hello,

Thanks for your fast and precise answers.
You must be right, the gcc compiled valgrind should be sufficient.

FYI:
I have been asked to provide a set of tools (libraries and binaries)
compiled with icc (32bits) and ecc (64bits).
I tried to compile valgrind with gcc (64bits) but got a message saying
it is ix86 specific, so no valgrind on 64bits machine.

Regards.
