[Openmp-dev] : undefined symbol: ompt_start_tool

Hi Joachim,

> Does your libomp contain an implementation of ompt_start_tool?

It seems to be there.

$ readelf --syms /home/kli/clang-install/lib/libomp.so | grep 
ompt_start_tool
   323: 000000000011bb40   188 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   11

Hi Kelvin,

libomp calls ompt_start_tool directly (by name) in

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/openmp/runtime/src/ompt-general.cpp#L237 


In a typical execution, this will find the implementation in libomp:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/openmp/runtime/src/ompt-general.cpp#L136 


If I did not miss something, implementation and call should be in the
same ifdef branch, i.e., both active or not.

Reasoning: This explicit call by name is necessary to catch the case of
a static tool compiled in the application (linker will prefer
ompt_start_tool from the static tool). Such static version might not be
found by dlsym.


Later, libomp implicitly assumes "libarcher to be the last entry in
OMPT_TOOL_LIBRARIES", dlopens libarcher and dlsyms ompt_start_tool:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/openmp/runtime/src/ompt-general.cpp#L275 


Therefore you see libarcher in the LD_DEBUG output.

This is how it looks for me:
$ LD_DEBUG=bindings ./a.out 2>&1| grep ompt_start_tool
      1568:              binding file libomp.so [0] to libomp.so [0]: 
normal symbol
`ompt_start_tool' [VERSION]
      1568:              binding file libarcher.so [0] to libarcher.so 
[0]: normal
symbol `ompt_start_tool'

Here the execution complains about the missing symbol, but does not
abort. It is unclear to me, why the execution does not abort in this case.

Same message as above, but now the execution aborts:

> ./a.out: symbol lookup error: /home/kli/clang-install/lib/libomp.so: 
> undefined symbol: ompt_start_tool

Since the dlopen for libarcher is after the explicit call to
ompt_start_tool, it is clear that the message about libarcher is missing
here.


Does your libomp contain an implementation of ompt_start_tool?

nm /home/kli/clang-install/lib/libomp.so | grep ompt_start_tool
or
readelf --syms /home/kli/clang-install/lib/libomp.so | grep 
ompt_start_tool
