2How to Build the LLVM* OpenMP* Libraries
3========================================
4This repository requires `CMake <http://www.cmake.org/>`_ v2.8.0 or later.  LLVM
5and Clang need a more recent version which also applies for in-tree builds.  For
6more information than available in this document please see
7`LLVM's CMake documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html>`_ and the
8`official documentation <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.0/cmake.html>`_.

13How to Call CMake Initially, then Repeatedly
14============================================
15- When calling CMake for the first time, all needed compiler options must be
16  specified on the command line.  After this initial call to CMake, the compiler
17  definitions must not be included for further calls to CMake.  Other options
18  can be specified on the command line multiple times including all definitions
19  in the build options section below.
20- Example of configuring, building, reconfiguring, rebuilding:
21
22  .. code-block:: console
23
24    $ mkdir build
25    $ cd build
26    $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ..  # Initial configuration
27    $ make
28    ...
29    $ make clean
30    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..                               # Second configuration
31    $ make
32    ...
33    $ rm -rf *
34    $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ ..        # Third configuration
35    $ make
36
37- Notice in the example how the compiler definitions are only specified for an
38  empty build directory, but other build options are used at any time.
39- The file ``CMakeCache.txt`` which is created after the first call to CMake is
40  a configuration file which holds all values for the build options.  These
41  values can be changed using a text editor to modify ``CMakeCache.txt`` as
42  opposed to using definitions on the command line.
43- To have CMake create a particular type of build generator file simply include
44  the ``-G <Generator name>`` option:
45
46  .. code-block:: console
47
48    $ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ...
49
50  You can see a list of generators CMake supports by executing the cmake command
51  with no arguments.
52
53Instructions to Build
54=====================
55.. code-block:: console
56
57 $ cd openmp_top_level/ [ this directory with libomptarget/, runtime/, etc. ]
58 $ mkdir build
59 $ cd build
60
61 [ Unix* Libraries ]
62 $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C Compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ Compiler> ..
63
64 [ Windows* Libraries ]
65 $ cmake -G <Generator Type> -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C Compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ Compiler> -DCMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER=[ml | ml64] -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
66
67 $ make
68 $ make install
69
70CMake Options
71=============
72Builds with CMake can be customized by means of options as already seen above.
73One possibility is to pass them via the command line:
74
75.. code-block:: console
76
77  $ cmake -DOPTION=<value> path/to/source
78
79.. note:: The first value listed is the respective default for that option.
80
81Generic Options
82---------------
83For full documentation consult the CMake manual or execute
84``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME`` to get information about a specific
85variable.
86
87**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE** = ``Release|Debug|RelWithDebInfo``
88  Build type can be ``Release``, ``Debug``, or ``RelWithDebInfo`` which chooses
89  the optimization level and presence of debugging symbols.
90
91**CMAKE_C_COMPILER** = <C compiler name>
92  Specify the C compiler.
93
94**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER** = <C++ compiler name>
95  Specify the C++ compiler.
96
97**CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER** = <Fortran compiler name>
98  Specify the Fortran compiler. This option is only needed when
99  **LIBOMP_FORTRAN_MODULES** is ``ON`` (see below).  So typically, a Fortran
100  compiler is not needed during the build.
101
102**CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER** = ``ml|ml64``
103  This option is only relevant for Windows*.
104
105Options for all Libraries
106-------------------------
107
108**OPENMP_ENABLE_WERROR** = ``OFF|ON``
109  Treat warnings as errors and fail, if a compiler warning is triggered.
110
111**OPENMP_LIBDIR_SUFFIX** = ``""``
112  Extra suffix to append to the directory where libraries are to be installed.
113
114**OPENMP_TEST_C_COMPILER** = ``${CMAKE_C_COMPILER}``
115  Compiler to use for testing. Defaults to the compiler that was also used for
116  building.
117
118**OPENMP_TEST_CXX_COMPILER** = ``${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}``
119  Compiler to use for testing. Defaults to the compiler that was also used for
120  building.
121
122**OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR** = ``/path/to/built/llvm/tools``
123  Additional path to search for LLVM tools needed by tests.
124
125**OPENMP_LLVM_LIT_EXECUTABLE** = ``/path/to/llvm-lit``
126  Specify full path to ``llvm-lit`` executable for running tests.  The default
127  is to search the ``PATH`` and the directory in **OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR**.
128
129**OPENMP_FILECHECK_EXECUTABLE** = ``/path/to/FileCheck``
130  Specify full path to ``FileCheck`` executable for running tests.  The default
131  is to search the ``PATH`` and the directory in **OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR**.
132
133**OPENMP_NOT_EXECUTABLE** = ``/path/to/not``
134  Specify full path to ``not`` executable for running tests.  The default
135  is to search the ``PATH`` and the directory in **OPENMP_LLVM_TOOLS_DIR**.
136
137Options for ``libomp``
138----------------------
139
140**LIBOMP_ARCH** = ``aarch64|arm|i386|mic|mips|mips64|ppc64|ppc64le|x86_64|riscv64``
141  The default value for this option is chosen based on probing the compiler for
142  architecture macros (e.g., is ``__x86_64__`` predefined by compiler?).
143
144**LIBOMP_MIC_ARCH** = ``knc|knf``
145  Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel(R) MIC Architecture) to
146  build for.  This value is ignored if **LIBOMP_ARCH** does not equal ``mic``.
147
148**LIBOMP_LIB_TYPE** = ``normal|profile|stubs``
149  Library type can be ``normal``, ``profile``, or ``stubs``.
150
151**LIBOMP_USE_VERSION_SYMBOLS** = ``ON|OFF``
152  Use versioned symbols for building the library.  This option only makes sense
153  for ELF based libraries where version symbols are supported (Linux*, some BSD*
154  variants).  It is ``OFF`` by default for Windows* and macOS*, but ``ON`` for
155  other Unix based operating systems.
156
157**LIBOMP_ENABLE_SHARED** = ``ON|OFF``
158  Build a shared library.  If this option is ``OFF``, static OpenMP libraries
159  will be built instead of dynamic ones.
160
161  .. note::
162
163    Static libraries are not supported on Windows*.
164
165**LIBOMP_FORTRAN_MODULES** = ``OFF|ON``
166  Create the Fortran modules (requires Fortran compiler).
167
168macOS* Fat Libraries
169""""""""""""""""""""
170On macOS* machines, it is possible to build universal (or fat) libraries which
171include both i386 and x86_64 architecture objects in a single archive.
172
173.. code-block:: console
174
175  $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES='i386;x86_64' ..
176  $ make
177
178There is also an option **LIBOMP_OSX_ARCHITECTURES** which can be set in case
179this is an LLVM source tree build. It will only apply for the ``libomp`` library
180avoids having the entire LLVM/Clang build produce universal binaries.
181
182Optional Features
183"""""""""""""""""
184
185**LIBOMP_USE_ADAPTIVE_LOCKS** = ``ON|OFF``
186  Include adaptive locks, based on Intel(R) Transactional Synchronization
187  Extensions (Intel(R) TSX).  This feature is x86 specific and turned ``ON``
188  by default for IA-32 architecture and Intel(R) 64 architecture.
189
190**LIBOMP_USE_INTERNODE_ALIGNMENT** = ``OFF|ON``
191  Align certain data structures on 4096-byte.  This option is useful on
192  multi-node systems where a small ``CACHE_LINE`` setting leads to false sharing.
193
194**LIBOMP_OMPT_SUPPORT** = ``ON|OFF``
195  Include support for the OpenMP Tools Interface (OMPT).
196  This option is supported and ``ON`` by default for x86, x86_64, AArch64,
197  PPC64 and RISCV64 on Linux* and macOS*.
198  This option is ``OFF`` if this feature is not supported for the platform.
199
200**LIBOMP_OMPT_OPTIONAL** = ``ON|OFF``
201  Include support for optional OMPT functionality.  This option is ignored if
202  **LIBOMP_OMPT_SUPPORT** is ``OFF``.
203
204**LIBOMP_STATS** = ``OFF|ON``
205  Include stats-gathering code.
206
207**LIBOMP_USE_DEBUGGER** = ``OFF|ON``
208  Include the friendly debugger interface.
209
210**LIBOMP_USE_HWLOC** = ``OFF|ON``
211  Use `OpenMPI's hwloc library <https://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/>`_ for
212  topology detection and affinity.
213
214**LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR** = ``/path/to/hwloc/install/dir``
215  Specify install location of hwloc.  The configuration system will look for
216  ``hwloc.h`` in ``${LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR}/include`` and the library in
217  ``${LIBOMP_HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR}/lib``.  The default is ``/usr/local``.
218  This option is only used if **LIBOMP_USE_HWLOC** is ``ON``.
219
220Additional Compiler Flags
221"""""""""""""""""""""""""
222
223These flags are **appended**, they do not overwrite any of the preset flags.
224
225**LIBOMP_CPPFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
226  Additional C preprocessor flags.
227
228**LIBOMP_CXXFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
229  Additional C++ compiler flags.
230
231**LIBOMP_ASMFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
232  Additional assembler flags.
233
234**LIBOMP_LDFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
235  Additional linker flags.
236
237**LIBOMP_LIBFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
238  Additional libraries to link.
239
240**LIBOMP_FFLAGS** = <space-separated flags>
241  Additional Fortran compiler flags.
242
243Options for ``libomptarget``
244----------------------------
245
246**LIBOMPTARGET_OPENMP_HEADER_FOLDER** = ``""``
247  Path of the folder that contains ``omp.h``.  This is required for testing
248  out-of-tree builds.
249
250**LIBOMPTARGET_OPENMP_HOST_RTL_FOLDER** = ``""``
251  Path of the folder that contains ``libomp.so``.  This is required for testing
252  out-of-tree builds.
253
254Options for ``NVPTX device RTL``
255--------------------------------
256
257**LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_ENABLE_BCLIB** = ``ON|OFF``
258  Enable CUDA LLVM bitcode offloading device RTL. This is used for link time
259  optimization of the OMP runtime and application code. This option is enabled
260  by default if the build system determines that `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` is able to
261  compile and link the library.
262
263**LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_CUDA_COMPILER** = ``""``
264  Location of a CUDA compiler capable of emitting LLVM bitcode. Currently only
265  the Clang compiler is supported. This is only used when building the CUDA LLVM
266  bitcode offloading device RTL. If unspecified and the CMake C compiler is
267  Clang, then Clang is used.
268
269**LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_BC_LINKER** = ``""``
270  Location of a linker capable of linking LLVM bitcode objects. This is only
271  used when building the CUDA LLVM bitcode offloading device RTL. If unspecified
272  and the CMake C compiler is Clang and there exists a llvm-link binary in the
273  directory containing Clang, then this llvm-link binary is used.
274
275**LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_ALTERNATE_HOST_COMPILER** = ``""``
276  Host compiler to use with NVCC. This compiler is not going to be used to
277  produce any binary. Instead, this is used to overcome the input compiler
278  checks done by NVCC. E.g. if using a default host compiler that is not
279  compatible with NVCC, this option can be use to pass to NVCC a valid compiler
280  to avoid the error.
281
282 **LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES** = ``35``
283  List of CUDA compute capabilities that should be supported by the NVPTX
284  device RTL. E.g. for compute capabilities 6.0 and 7.0, the option "60,70"
285  should be used. Compute capability 3.5 is the minimum required.
286
287 **LIBOMPTARGET_NVPTX_DEBUG** = ``OFF|ON``
288  Enable printing of debug messages from the NVPTX device RTL.
