[PTLsim-devel] error while compiling gcc benchmark with ptlcall_switch_to_sim()

Mon Mar 24 15:26:21 EDT 2008

Have you tried with -D_STRING_H for compiling the benchmark? I recommend you to
try this first.

If that doesnt work, try this:
Basically, the problem arises because of the different definition of strchr used
in gcc itself (gcc as benchmark uses some other definition). However, note that
ptlcalls.h needs the string.h only in case of PTLSIM_HYPERVISOR. So if you are
using user-space PTLsim/X, just use the minimal includes (put the rest = [...,
<string.h>, ...] in a #ifdef  PTLSIM_HYPERVISOR #endif) and try to compile.
This should be sufficient in theory.
