I have a simple helloworld.cpp to instrument with Score-P or Vampirtrace.
Installation of the performance/ tracing tools works fine. After compiling and running:
# score-p
scorep-g++ helloworld.cpp -o hello
export SCOREP_ENABLE_TRACING=true
export SCOREP_ENABLE_PROFILING=true
# vampirtrace
vtcxx -DVTRACE helloworld.cpp -o hello
# run
./hello
The created OTF files (OTF for vampirtrace/ OTF2 for Score-P) are more or less empty (no timeline data). I'm using Vampir to visualize the data.
More details:
I'm testing on Mac OS X (g++-8) and Xubuntu (g++-7; VirtualBox).
For Mac OS X I have installed brew install gcc.
For the instrumented Score-P version I also got a warning
[Score-P] src/measurement/profiling/scorep_profile_callpath.c:206: Warning: Master thread contains no regions.
but I can't find related issues/ help.
I also installed TAU and PDT for Vampirtrace, but nothing changed. By the way manual instrumentation works for Vampirtrace:
#include "vt_user.h"
...
VT_TRACER("name");
For Vampirtrace I also tested OpenMP instrumentation and this was working, but only that (no application tracing around).
For both environments I did not install Open MPI.
It would be great, if somebody has similar issues and could help.
PS: Later, I want to instrument an application with Poco::Threads. I only read about partial support for POSIX Threads.
Update
The problem is g++. I tried the same instrumentation with Intel icc and it worked.
The missing instrumentation with g++ is also possible with icc, if you add the parameter --nocompiler like
score-p --nocompiler icc helloworld.cpp -o hello
Update
I had to install missing packages. There are logging outputs for ./configure with hints. One of the following package solved it:
apt-get install llvm libwrap0-dev libclang-dev gcc-7-plugin-dev
