NVC Compiler Error Terminated on SIGNAL 11

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers nvc, nvc++ and nvfortran

As an experiment I tried to build “binutils” standard library using nvc. And it crashes

The following is one line…
CC=/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/22.11/compilers/bin/nvc
LD=/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/22.11/compilers/bin/nvc CFLAGS=“-O0 -g -V --disable-werror -noswitcherror” …/configure

make

Thanks for the report jimaf.

I was able to reproduce the error using the source from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.39.tar.xz

It seems to only occur when “-g” is used, and I was able to compile the “i386-opc.c” file after removing this flag.

Now I do see other issues but these look more to do with the use of GNU extensions. Probably best to stick to using gcc for this.

Thank – so much for portability of those tools.

Forgot to mention that I filed a problem report for this, TPR #32835.

so much for portability of those tools.

Yes, and no. System utilities and things like the Linux kernel are tightly integrated with the GNU tool chain. It’s not about portability across compilers but rather adding elements to the GNU toolchain that allow them to work.

Other compilers could add this support as well, and some have, but for us, we focus on HPC computing and have little interest in becoming a base system compiler.
