Intel icc: compile c++ code cause error

Question

When I use icc compiler to compile a simple c++ code in Fedora 26 linux system, it caused an error like belows:

icc command:

icpc test.cpp

test.cpp content:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
 cout<<"hello world" << endl;
 return 0;
}

it caused an error like:

/usr/include/c++/7/bits/move.h(48): error: identifier "__builtin_addressof" is undefined
      { return __builtin_addressof(__r); }

compilation aborted for test.cpp (code 2)

my icc version is icc version 17.0.0 (gcc version 7.0.0 compatibility),

gcc version is gcc version 7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat 7.1.1-3) (GCC),

for this error, I feel confused with it. Please help me. Thanks!

Answer 1

__builtin_addressof is a relatively new gcc built-in icpc doesn't know how to handle yet. It was added to gcc around October 2016, while icc 17.0 was released in April 2016.

Either downgrade your gcc, or work around the problem by #defineing __builtin_addressof as follows:

#define __builtin_addressof(obj) \
 (&const_cast<char&>(reinterpret_cast<const volatile char&>(obj)))

when compiling with icpc. You can add the define to the top of your source, or add the corresponding -D flag to the compiler command line, or (if you are adventurous) patch the system header:

   template<typename _Tp>
      inline _GLIBCXX_CONSTEXPR _Tp*
      __addressof(_Tp& __r) _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT
      #ifdef __ICC
      { return (&const_cast<char&>(reinterpret_cast<const volatile char&>(__r))); } 
      #else
      { return __builtin_addressof(__r); }
      #endif

This is not C++17 compliant, but at least you should be able to compile something if the stars are right.

Answer 2

Compilers general have their own library code (.h/lib etc) that implement the standard library functionality. These libraries are mostly incompatible with other compilers (e.g. compiler A won't be able to build compiler B's library code).

Of course the code YOU write will be compilable by both compilers.

It looks like the errors you are getting are to do with this problem:

/usr/include/c++/7/bits/move.h(48)

These are the standard gcc library include files. You need to alter your environment/seartch paths, to use the icpc include/lib folders.

__builtin_addressof is an 'intrinsic' that is supported by gcc internally, but is not part of the C++ standard (you can tell by the __ before the function, which usually means 'compiler specific functionality').
