Problem with Sniper installation

[Evelyn Tsai]

Hello, I am new to use sniper.

I follow all the instructions provided by PinPoints tutorials - ISCA2014PinPointsTutorialDemo .pdf.

Here are the following instructions:

tar –zxf pinplay-drdebug-2.1-pin-2.14-71313-gcc.4.4.7-linux.tar.gz 

export PIN_ROOT= /home/user/pinplay-drdebug-2.1-pin-2.14-71313-gcc.4.4.7-linux

cd $PIN_ROOT/extras/pinplay/examples

make

tar –zxf sniper-latest.tgz

export SNIPER_ROOT=/home/user/sniper-6.0/

cd $SNIPER_ROOT

ln –sf $PIN_ROOT pin_kit

make

However,some errors happen while i try to compile the sniper.

/home/user/sniper-6.0/sift/sift.h:12:27: fatal error: xed-interface.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [/home/user/sniper-6.0/common/trace_frontend/trace_manager.o] Error 1

make: *** [/home/user/sniper-6.0/lib/libcarbon_sim.a] Error 2

Here is the installation version:

PINPLAY: pinplay-drdebug-2.1-pin-2.14-71313-gcc.4.4.7-linux.tar

SNIPER: sniper -6.0

Appreciate your response.

Best regards,

Evelyn

Evelyn,

The main issue seems to be that they removed the XED libraries from the default include and library paths. In addition to that, it looks like they changed the API for the PIN_CallApplicationFunction function, which also causes a compilation issue.

Could you try the included patch to see if it fixes the issue of running Sniper with Pin 71313?

Trevor,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I follow the context of the patch file and modify the correlated files.

However some other new errors happen while i try to compile sniper again.

/home/user/sniper-6.0/common/trace_frontend/trace_thread.cc: In member function âInstruction* TraceThread::decode(Sift::Instruction&)â:

/home/user/sniper-6.0/common/trace_frontend/trace_thread.cc:357:90: error: âxed_formatâ was not declared in this scope

make[1]: *** [/home/user/sniper-6.0/common/trace_frontend/trace_thread.o] Error 1

make: *** [/home/user/sniper-6.0/lib/libcarbon_sim.a] Error 2

Do I modify the files incorrectly?

Best Regards,

Evelyn

Evelyn,

The last patch only fixed the new issues in PinPlay 2.1, but you'll need a few older patches as well that fixed additional incompatibilities introduced by PinPlay 1.4. You can find them at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/snipersim/6zlnCu2ZsSA/84KTvSqcFO8J

In addition, if you're using gcc 4.9, you'll also need this patch: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/snipersim/eKIaaNaDg2Q/ONrQT1Ur2kIJ

Regards,

Wim

[Evelyn Tsai]

Wim and Trevor,

Thank you both for helping,

It works successfully after I modified the files according to the patch you mentioned.

Best Regards,

Evelyn
