1. Introduction

This document explains the use of make variables with SPEC CPU®2017, a product of the SPEC® non-profit corporation (about SPEC).

For SPEC CPU you do not write your own Makefiles, nor do you use your platform's native make program. Instead, your config file supplies options that are sent to a SPEC-supplied copy of GNU make, known as specmake.

If you are asking questions like the following, this document is for you.

2. Which steps use which flags?

Y     indicates that an option affects a particular compilation phase

[1] specpp: FPPP options are sent to specpp, a SPEC-supplied Fortran preprocessor. From Y(D) options, -Dx /Dx -Ux /Ux go to specpp (it does not see the rest). In the example, speccp sees the mumble request but not the endian request. The compiler sees the endian request but not the mumble request. (more detail)

521.wrf_r:
 FPORTABILITY = -DMUMBLE --endian-fix

[2] Linking: For multi-language benchmarks, the first one mentioned in the Documentation Index benchmarks table is considered "primary", meaning that only its flags are used for linking. In the example, the --bigpages switch is not used. (more detail)

511.povray=peak: # primary is C++
 LDCXXFLAGS     = -link:shared  # used
 EXTRA_LDCFLAGS = --bigpages # ignored

[3] objects: The list of object files is inserted just before the library options. (more detail)

[4] LDOUT: The flag that specifies the destination (typically -o or -Fe) is inserted just before the LDOUT_OPTIONS. (more detail)

3. Items used in Makefile.defaults

Build settings come from three sources:

  1. Benchmark definition files

    $SPEC/benchspec/CPU/<benchmark>/Spec/object.pm   (Unix)  or
    %SPEC%\benchspec\CPU\<benchmark>\Spec\object.pm  (Microsoft Windows) 
  2. A file called Makefile.spec, which is generated from your config file. It is found in

    $SPEC/benchspec/CPU/<benchmark>/build/build_<tune>_<label>.nnnn/Makefile.spec or
    %SPEC%\benchspec\CPU\<benchmark>\build\build_<tune>_<label>.nnnn\Makefile.spec
  3. The overall control file which is used by all benchmarks, and which contains most of the build rules:

    $SPEC/benchspec/Makefile.defaults or 
    %SPEC%\benchspec\Makefile.defaults

The list above is in order from highest to lowest priority. That is, if a setting for a particular variable exists in object.pm, it cannot be overridden. Variables not specified in object.pm can be set by the user in the config file and thus in Makefile.spec. If a setting is needed, and does not appear in either of those two places, a reasonable default is provided by Makefile.defaults.

Do you need to worry about all three of these?

  1. Usually you do not need to think about settings from object.pm because these set very basic choices that define a benchmark, for example switches to include benchmark header files, disable use of MPI, or disable code that is known to be non-portable. (If you believe that a flag defined in object.pm causes a problem, you may write to SPEC.)
  2. Usually, you do need to think about settings in your own config file.
  3. Occasionally, you might want to see how your config file settings interact with Makefile.defaults, especially if you are adept at reading GNU makefiles.

This section is addressed to such readers. The table below briefly describes nearly all the items in Makefile.defaults and classifies by type:

#linkNote =  See above and section 4. Emphasis: fake is your friend.

    config   = If you wish, you are free to set this in your config file.
    bench    = The benchmark sets it in Spec/object.pm.  Do not attempt to touch.
    tools    = Something computed by SPEC tools.  Really do not touch.
    xdebug   = eXtra item for debug, normally useful only during development.
    errata   = see notes

Note regarding MATHLIBOPT: Previous versions of the above table listed MATHLIBOPT as a variable that can be set in your config file. Setting MATHLIBOPT is no longer recommended. MATHLIBOPT is automatically applied to certain C benchmarks but unfortunately it is not consistently applied within the intspeed and intrate sets, thus leading to a violation of the base same-for-all rule. For more detail, and for suggested workarounds, see the Known Problems document. MATHLIBOPT does not affect Fortran or C++ benchmarks. (Implementation detail: none of the CPU 2017 Fortran object.pm files set $need_math; and Makefile.defaults intentionally excludes C++ benchmarks from NEED_MATH.)

4. Order of flag application

Sometimes, you may need more detail about flag order and presence (e.g. Is OPTIMIZE applied before or after COPTIMIZE? Is LDOPTIONS included for both FDO and non-FDO builds?) In such cases, you have several choices:

  1. You can do a fake build. In practice, this is often the easiest, and is highly recommended. Fake is your friend.
  2. You can read Makefile.defaults, in conjunction with the previous section.
  3. You can consult the lists below, which show where all user-settable variables end up (position-wise). The lists are automatically generated from Makefile.defaults and therefore may save you considerable time versus trying to read it on your own.
