APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Specifying -qsmp implicitly sets -O2. However, if user mis-types "-O1", optimization is not passed to the compiler and incorrect binary is generated. ===== TESTCASE: $cat nt.C #include <stdio.h> #include <omp.h> int main(int argc, char* argv) { int mt = omp_get_max_threads(); int nt; #pragma omp parallel { #pragma omp master { nt = omp_get_num_threads(); } } printf("mt=%d nt=%d\n", mt, nt); return 0; } Compile with bgxlC_r -qsmp=omp -O1 nt.C run with 1 node and env variable OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 ===== ACTUAL OUTPUT: $xlC_r -qsmp=omp -O1 nt.C xlC_r: 1501-210 (W) command option -O contains an incorrect subargument $export OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 $./a.out mt=16 nt=1 ===== EXPECTED OUTPUT: As with "-qsmp=omp", "-qsmp=omp -O0", "-qsmp=omp -O2", "-qsmp=omp -qnoopt": $xlC_r -qsmp=omp nt.C $export OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 $./a.out mt=16 nt=16
Local fix
Do not specify incorrect option name -O1.
Problem summary
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: -qsmp=omp -O1 causes program to abend. USERS AFFECTED: Users who accidentally specifies -O1 with -qsmp=omp.
Problem conclusion
