sniper compilation error

[Umair Khan]

Hello,
I am new to sniper. I want to use this tool for my research work. I downloaded the latest version and when I run "make" command it gives the following error




umair@umair-Inspiron-3420:~/sniper$ make
[CXX   ] sift/recorder/emulation.o

I am using ubuntu 16.04. please help to resolve this issue...

[Ahmad Shamseddin]

just out of curiosity what kind of research you're doing? 

[Panitan Wongse-ammat]

Did someone have the solution to this issue since I have a trouble with it during make?

[Trevor E. Carlson]

Panitan, Umair,

The problem here is that version 2.14-71313 of Sniper does not support GCC-5. If you use GCC-4.9, things will work. If I remember correctly, installing g++-4.9 and setting the environment variables like this (see below), should solve this issue.

$ apt-get install g++-4.9

$ export CXX=g++-4.9

$ export CC=gcc-4.9

$ cd sniper ; make

Thank you Trevor for your suggestion. I followed yours very closely, and I tried to run 

cd test/fft; make run;, which gave me the output as shown below in the purple text.

/usr/bin/gcc-4.9 -mno-sse4 -mno-sse4.1 -mno-sse4.2 -mno-sse4a -mno-avx -mno-avx2 -I/home/panitanw/Downloads/sniper-6.1/include    -c -o api.o api.c

I also attempted to run the ./../../tools/xxx.py as indicated above, but the no valid configuration is thrown. 

$ ./../../tools/dumpstats.py

I don't think that it is the output I should expect from sniper right?

[Trevor E. Carlson]

Panitan,

Yes, I think that this is another Pin issue. To fix this, I usually add the -ifeellucky option to the pinoptions string (in both run-sniper and record-trace). You can usually find it next to the -mt flag or the -injection flag.

Travor, 

   I think I get the result saved in sim.out now. I have been thankful for your suggestion so far.
