Re: [OMPI devel] gdb libmpi.dylib on Leopard

2008-09-19 Thread Aurélien Bouteiller
I filed the following bug report on Apple Developer Connexion. As a  
short summary, I suggest they get in touch with us and include the -- 
whole-archive mechanism in their ld.


Aurelien

19-Sep-2008 03:08 PM Aurelien Bouteiller:
Summary:
Because the Apple ld does not include the GNU's ld --whole-archive/-- 
no-whole-archive mechanism to allow loading of all members of  
selective archives, libtool (including gnu libtool) is forced to  
unpack all the members of a convenience library (and later delete  
them), and afterwards needs to run dsymutil. Unfortunately, because  
the archives are uncompressed to a temporary space before being  
included in the final library, dsymutil seams to get confused. As a  
consequence, it is impossible to debug a library with gdb, the .o  
files never being found, even if the library actually contains all the  
necessary debug symbols.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a svn Open MPI trunk release (or any libtool based  
project, I've experienced the same problems when compiling my own  
gcc4.3). Please note that you need autoconf 2.62 and automake 1.10 to  
compile Open MPI trunk.

2. configure Open MPI with the debug options (configure --enable-debug)
3. make install
4. find or create a sample MPI program, mpicc it.
5. mpirun -np 1 gdb mpi_sample_program
6. break MPI_Init, r, n.

Expected results:
6: you should step each line of the MPI_Init function

Actual results:
6. you see a large number of warnings
warning: Could not find object file "/Users/bouteill/ompi/debug.build/ 
opal/.libs/libopen-pal.lax/libmca_memchecker.a/memchecker_base_open.o"  
- no debug information available for "../../../../trunk/opal/mca/ 
memchecker/base/memchecker_base_open.c".


You are unable to step in MPI_Init. Instead the execution continues up  
to reach the "main" function.


Regression:
Used to work with Tiger.

Notes:
If you need some more details or want to cooperate with us, please  
register to the Open MPI devel mailing list. As a major open source  
project we have  been working on a fix for this issue for a while, but  
where unable to correct it without modifications to apple's ld.


We believe that the best workaround would be to include the --whole- 
archive/--no-whole-archive mechanism. Then there is no need anymore to  
unpack the convenience archives before building the .dylib, and as a  
friendly side effect compilation time should improve a lot.

Just to clarify - I'd like an ld option similar to GNU ld's
--whole-archive --no-whole-archive to allow loading of all memebers of
selective archives. If this option were available libtool would not  
need

to unpack all the members of convenience libraries (and later delete
them) and there would be no need for libtool to run dsymutil. So if  
you

are going to file a bug with apple, file one requesting that feature.

If this continues to be a problem, I might consider not deleting the
unpacked object files on darwin, on the theory that disk is cheap, but
I'd really rather not waste everyones disk space with multiple  
copies of

the same object files like that.

Jeff, I attempted to subscribe to the list to post this, but have not

Hello OpenMPI developers,

on Darwin/OS X, recent Libtool has some debugging symbols issue fixed.
I think that was even raised on this list a short while ago.  Also, an
issue with recent Intel compilers on Linux has been fixed.

Absoft support is not yet in Libtool, but Lahey is.

Hope that helps.

 Any objections to moving the nightly trunk and v1.3 tarballs to  
 these
 versions?

 m4=m4-1.4.11
 ac=autoconf-2.63
 am=automake-1.10.1
 lt=libtool-2.2.6a

 (we're still pre-1.3 lockdown, so I figured it was ok to move)

Yep; there may be no real specific benefit, but it's good to get the  
most recent versions for a release branch before we freeze it.


It *may* have fixed some Absoft compiler issues; I'm checking with  
Absoft on this (I didn't see anything specific about it in the release  
notes, and the data is not entirely clear because a few things changed  
in Absoft's MTT setup right around the same time).

You may want to upgrade your local installs of these for
your own development work so we are all on the same version.

Re: [OMPI devel] -display-map

2008-09-19 Thread Greg Watson

Ralph,

The problem we're seeing is just with the head node. If I specify a  
particular IP address for the head node in the hostfile, it gets  
changed to the FQDN when displayed in the map. This is a problem for  
us as we need to be able to match the two, and since we're not  
necessarily running on the head node, we can't always do the same  
resolution you're doing.


Would it be possible to use the same address that is specified in the  
hostfile, or alternatively provide an XML attribute that contains this  
information?


Thanks,

Greg

Not in that regard, depending upon what you mean by "recently". The  
only changes I am aware of wrt nodes consisted of some changes to  
the order in which we use the nodes when specified by hostfile or - 
host, and a little #if protectionism needed by Brian for the Cray  
port.


Are you seeing this for every node? Reason I ask: I can't offhand  
think of anything in the code base that would replace a host name  
with the FQDN because we don't get that info for remote nodes. The  
only exception is the head node (where mpirun sits) - in that lone  
case, we default to the name returned to us by gethostname(). We do  
that because the head node is frequently accessible on a more global  
basis than the compute nodes - thus, the FQDN is required to ensure  
that there is no address confusion on the network.


If the user refers to compute nodes in a hostfile or -host (or in an  
allocation from a resource manager) by non-FQDN, we just assume they  
know what they are doing and the name will correctly resolve to a  
unique address.

Hi,

Has there been a change in the behavior of the -display-map option  
has changed recently in the 1.3 branch. We're now seeing the host  
name as a fully resolved DN rather than the entry that was  
specified in the hostfile. Is there any particular reason for this?  
If so, would it be possible to add the hostfile entry to the output  
since we need to be able to match the two?


Thanks,

Greg
