The two that come in mind for gdb are (there are more but I don't know
them):

 - gdb/gdbarch.py
 - gdb/make-target-delegates.py

gdbarch.py used to be a shell script, but moving it to Python made it
much faster, easier to maintain (as in change how gdbarch hooks are
generated) and easier to update (as in modifying the gdbarch hook list).

Now, a wishlist I have for generated files (I might do that one day):

 - Make all generated files (regardless of if they are checked in the
   repo or not) end with the -gen suffix (like gdbarch-gen.h), so it's
   easier to know that a file is generated.
 - make all generator tools have the same name pattern (e.g.
   make-gdbarch.py, make-target-delegates.py, make-init-c.sh, etc).

Re: GSoC

[Abhinav Gupta via Gcc]

Hello GCC community,
 Since resuming work for the GSoC proposal recently, I have made
significant progress in understanding the code snippets provided by
Mr. Jambor and delved into the libgomp folder, compiling random
snippets in the examples folder and reading the IR. Building GCC from
source has also provided me with a deeper understanding of its inner
workings.
I've also looked at the GOMP_target_ext function and its
implementations for both the existing targets as pointed out by Mr.
Schwinge, these config folders have also given me an understanding of
what is actually expected for this project, however I need some
clarity regarding a few things-

The GOMP_* functions calls for different targets: I need further
assistance to understand how they should be implemented for the host
machine, I am aware that this is exactly what the project is, I am
just looking for a start point.

Host Fallback Mode: I came across mentions of a host fallback mode in
the offloading Wiki page and as you mentioned that there is already a
oacc-host.c api. Could you please provide more clarity on whether this
existing feature can be repurposed for offloading to a separate
process on the same host? If not, could you elaborate on what exactly
the host fallback mode is and how it differs from the proposed
offloading mechanism?

Thanking you
Abhinav

This sounds great.

First, please note that timing of the GSoC contributor application
deadline (on the upcoming Tuesday) is a bit unfortunate because of
Easter, many involved mentors have a long weekend (public holiday on
Friday or Monday or, like me, both).  So please even if you do not
receive any feedback, make sure to apply - and don't leave it until the
last day.  IIUC a proposal can be always updated later.

I'll have to admit that I read your proposal only quickly and it makes
sense.  I'd just like to point out that the VGPU part is really a second
(though perhaps much larger and interesting) part of the project, the
first part would be to simulate a CPU-like accelerator with a separate
memory.  But most of this work would be necessary for VGPU part too.
What is more, the VGPU part is likely to be hard, so if your time
constraints allow it and doing both is your goal, I'd suggest to apply
for an 350-hour (large) project.

I'll see if I can cough out any more feedback in time but as I wrote
above, generally it is good and don't wait - t least not with the
initial application.

Good luck!

Martin

Look at functions with names starting with GOMP_OFFLOAD (such as
GOMP_OFFLOAD_run) in files in src/libgomp/plugin/*.c - those are the
things you'll need to implement but instead of setting up a GPU and
talking to AMD HSA or Nvidia CUDA you'll be setting up a new process and
communicating with it.

The entire list of functions that a plugin can have (probably not all
have to be implemented) is in struct gomp_device_descr in libgomp.h.

Partially.  The host fallback means that, for one reason or another
(most commonly because the machine does not have any accelerators to
which it can offload), the OpenMP run time simply runs the target
regions on the CPU, almost as if it was not there (but there are
caveats, of course).

Which means that the outlined regions can be compiled basically as they
are for host fallback (though doing it with the same compiler will be
funny), on the GOMP side, things will need to look very differently.

I hope this helps,

Martin
