The current PAPI (icl.cs.utk.edu) source code does not compile
on Debian/testing on IA-64. The current gcc 3.3.5 panics when
compiling threads.c. I narrowed down the problem to the following
code fragment:
typedef struct _ThreadInfo {
unsigned long int tid;
} ThreadInfo_t;
extern __thread ThreadInfo_t *_papi_hwi_my_thread;
inline static ThreadInfo_t *_papi_hwi_lookup_thread(void)
{
{ ; };
return(_papi_hwi_my_thread);
}
__thread ThreadInfo_t *_papi_hwi_my_thread;
t2.c:15: internal compiler error: in ia64_encode_section_info, at
config/ia64/ia64.c:7363
The problem disappear if the definition of
the variable is moved before the inline function, i.e.,
before it is used.
The problem is also present on 3.3.4. I believe it is gone
from 3.4.0.
