Bug ID: 63142 Summary: gcc-cilk can not spawn a function template Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: yuantang at csail dot mit.edu Created attachment 33437 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33437&action=edit testbench to illustrate the bug I have a following gcc (cilk branch) installed on my system. My OS is Ubuntu 14.04. $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/home/yuantang/tool_src/gcc-cilk/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.0/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-cilk-src/configure --prefix=/home/yuantang/tool_src/gcc-cilk --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran : (reconfigured) ../gcc-cilk-src/configure --prefix=/home/yuantang/tool_src/gcc-cilk --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --disable-multilib Thread model: posix gcc version 4.9.0 20130520 (experimental) (GCC) It looks like the cilk_spawn can not spawn a function template. It can spawn any normal function but not function template, but icc and llvm-cilk can. I compiled the attached testbench as follows: $ gcc -o fib -fcilkplus -lcilkrts fib.cpp /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccpNfrZC.o: undefined reference to symbol '__cxa_rethrow@@CXXABI_1.3' /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Best! -Yuan
