Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |marxin at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #10 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> --- All right, I understand what goes wrong. The benchmark builds 2 binaries: wrf_r and diffwrf_521. Both of them contain pretty much the same objects that *are* built twice: gfortran -c -o module_mp_wsm5.fppized.o -I. -I./netcdf/include -I./inc -O2 -march=native -std=legacy -fprofile-generate -fconvert=big-endian -fno-openmp -g0 module_mp_wsm5.fppized.f90 then wrf_r is trained, module_mp_wsm5.fppized.gcda is properly created. But then diffwrf_521 is invoked and the GCDA if overwritten: $ export GCOV_ERROR_FILE=/tmp/wrf.txt ... $ grep wsm5 /tmp/wrf.txt libgcov profiling error:/home/marxin/Programming/cpu2017/benchspec/CPU/521.wrf_r/build/build_peak_gcc-m64.0000/module_mp_wsm5.fppized.gcda:overwriting an existing profile data with a different timestamp That explains why we end up with a profile that has relatively low sum_max=4450478, as shown the profile comes from a verification binary diffwrf_521. I don't have an easy solution for that. Maybe we can somehow drop -fprofile-generate for diffwrf_521 binary. Is it possible?
