Inline assembly:
Code: Select all
  __asm__("popcnt %1, %0" : "=r" (b) : "r" (b));
See https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish/ ... bitcount.h

Assuming USE_POPCNT is defined, which is the case judging from the output of make, the popcnt instruction is used. If your tool does not detect it, the problem lies with your tool.

There is no way that the compiler could somehow substitute this __asm__ with an alternative implementation of popcount.

Does otool give any (sensible) output at all if you run it on PGO'd stockfish?

Yes, this is puzzling. Why would otool fail to detect popcnt in binaries created by gcc-4.7 and gcc-4.8 (but not gcc-4.6), and only when the binary is created after profiling has occurred?

I don't understand what your final question is asking.

Run "otool" without the "| grep popcnt" and see if you get anything at all.

If the popcnt instructions are there, it is very unlikely that otool just skips them. It is far more likely that otool for whatever reason does not understand the binary and produces nothing or nonsense.

The otool output appears "normal"----thousands of lines of assembly:

Have you tried disabling LTO also with gcc-4.7 and gcc-4.8, and if you do so, does this result in a binary that uses the popcnt instruction?

If the latter is the case then it would imply that there is some problem in the context of gcc link time optimization that is not necessarily new with gcc-4.7, and you cannot test it with gcc-4.6 unless you find a fix for the other error you got there.

Yes and no, respectively.

Have no more time to investigate this, but want to summarize:

I'm compiling stockfish under OS X 10.6 on a Nehalem Mac Pro using gcc-4.8:

I've replaced each popcount call in the Stockfish source with

__builtin_popcountll

I've included -mpopcnt in the makefile, which instructs gcc to replace the builtin popcount with the hardware popcnt instruction.

I make a non-pgo build:

Step 4/4. Deleting profile data ...
make ARCH=osx-x86-64 COMP=gcc gcc-profile-clean

Again, the executable produces the correct bench signature:

Code: Select all

===========================
Total time (ms) : 3584
Nodes searched  : 4558173
Nodes/second    : 1271811

But no indication of a popcnt instruction, according to otool (and a hex editor too):

Code: Select all

LZsMacPro-OSX6: ~/Documents/Chess/Test/Stockfish/src] otool -tvQ ./stockfish | grep popcnt
LZsMacPro-OSX6: ~/Documents/Chess/Test/Stockfish/src]

What is especially mystifying is that repeating the entire process with gcc-4.6 yields a PGO binary that includes the popcnt instruction, and is clearly faster then the PGO binary produced by gcc-4.8:

Code: Select all

===========================
Total time (ms) : 3480

All your tests were with a modified Stockfish instead of the __asm__ and you did not care to inform us upfront and even showed us non-applicable Make output? Thanks for wasting our time.

Apparently gcc-4.8 has a bug, so file a bug report for gcc.

Again, if you use the __asm__ and compile with -DUSE_POPCNT there is no way that gcc can file to include the popcnt instruction. Gcc is too stupid to recognise the __asm__("popcnt") and replace it by something else.

No, the replacement of the __asm__ with the builtin was done only recently, and only as a last resort. The behavior I've reported is the same in both cases, and is very odd.

Sorry for the confusion.

No need for the snarky "thanks for wasting our time" either.

Well, you said you were "summarizing", not that you were trying another approach.

I still don't see how it can fail when using the __asm__ implementation of popcount.

What you could try is to include a line #warning USING POPCNT in bitcount.h, say between lines 99 and 100. If during compilation you don't see USING POPCNT warnings, then somehow the __asm__ is not being used.
