intel RTM

[Xin Tong]

I ran into problems compiling this intel restricted transactional
memory test case with gcc 4.9.1. Intel ICC compiles the test case fine
with  icc -O3 test-intelrtm.c -lpthread

Thanks,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <immintrin.h>  /* _XBEGIN_START */

#define ARRAY_SIZE 1024
#define TESTTHREAD_COUNT 32
/* lock for atomic access to the testarray */
static pthread_mutex_t arraylock;
static pthread_t* threadarray;
static int testarray[ARRAY_SIZE];

static void increment_func(void* arg) {
     int i;
     long int threadnum = (long int)arg;
     unsigned int status;
     if ((status = _xbegin ()) == _XBEGIN_STARTED){
         /* test _xtest() and _xabort(). fallback path for odd-num thread */
         if (_xtest() && (threadnum % 2)) _xabort(_XABORT_EXPLICIT);
         for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i) testarray[i] ++;
         _xend();
     } else {
         /* fallback path. hold array lock */
         pthread_mutex_lock(&arraylock);
         for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i) testarray[i] ++;
         /* release array lock */
         pthread_mutex_unlock(&arraylock);
    }
}

bash-4.1$ gcc  test-intelrtm.c -lpthread
