关键部分中的函数在OpenMP中生成数据争用

标签: c parallel-processing openmp

我似乎严重缺乏对OpenMP在并行区域内使用关键字的理解。我的问题很简单:为什么下面的代码 用valgrind drd制作警告?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void A(int* a)
{
   printf("a++\n");
   (*a)++;
}

void B(int* a)
{
   printf("a--\n");
   (*a)--;
}

void f(int* a)
{
#pragma omp critical
   A(a);

   sleep(1); /* work done here */

#pragma omp critical
   B(a);
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   int i;
   int a = 0;

#pragma omp parallel for
   for(i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
   {
      f(&a);
   }

   return 0;
}

用以下代码编译:

gcc -fopenmp -g -o omptest omptest.c

valgrind电话是

valgrind --tool=drd  --check-stack-var=yes ./omptest

我的理解是关键部分应该保护我完全不受影响 警告我得到了。我现在花了两天时间试图找出错误,但事实并非如此 找到它。如果有人能给我一个确切的提示,那将是非常好的 我不明白。

感谢任何帮助。

我理解第7行和第13行的数据竞争警告是(* a) - 和(* a)++调用。

答案 0 :(得分:1)

我刚刚阅读了drd的documentation,特别是第8.2.8节:

  

DRD支持GCC生成的OpenMP共享内存程序。 GCC   从版本4.2.0开始支持OpenMP。 GCC对OpenMP的运行时支持   程序由名为libgomp的库提供。同步   在这个库中实现的原语使用Linux的futex系统调用   直接,除非库配置了   --disable-linux-futex选项。 DRD仅支持已使用此选项配置的libgomp库以及符号信息   存在。对于大多数Linux发行版而言,这意味着您将拥有   重新编译GCC。另请参见脚本   在Valgrind源代码树中使用drd / scripts / download-and-build-gcc   如何编译GCC的示例。你还必须确保这一点   在OpenMP程序中加载新编译的libgomp.so库   开始了。

如果您没有重新编译libgomp,这可能是您遇到的奇怪行为的可能解释。
