Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks - Release Notes
|
|
Version 4.2
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
System Requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB) is available
|
|
commercially (see http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-tbb) as a
|
|
binary distribution, and in open source, in both source and binary
|
|
forms (see http://threadingbuildingblocks.org).
|
|
|
|
When built from source, Intel(R) TBB is intended to be highly portable
|
|
and so supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms (see
|
|
http://threadingbuildingblocks.org for more details).
|
|
|
|
Binary distributions, including commercial distributions, are validated
|
|
and officially supported for the hardware, software, operating systems
|
|
and compilers listed here.

Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Please note the following with respect to this particular release of
|
|
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks.
|
|
|
|
Library Issues
|
|
- If Intel TBB is used together with Intel C++ Compiler 12.1 and
|
|
the standard C++ library from GCC 4.4, compilation in C++11 mode
|
|
(-std=c++0x) may fail with an error saying 'namespace "std" has
|
|
no member "exception_ptr"'. To overcome the problem, include an
|
|
Intel TBB header (e.g. tbb_stddef.h) before any standard
|
|
library headers.
|
|
|
|
- If an application is built for Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional
|
|
or similar the _WIN32_WINNT macro must be set manually to 0x0501
|
|
in order to limit the usage of modern API that is available on
|
|
newer operating systems.
|
|
|
|
- If an application uses static version of MSVCRT libraries or uses
|
|
Intel TBB DLL built with static MSVCRT (vc_mt variant), and throws
|
|
an exception from a functor passed to task_group::run_and_wait(),
|
|
the exception will not be intercepted by Intel TBB and will not result
|
|
in cancellation of the task_group. For a workaround, catch the
|
|
exception in the functor and explicitly cancel the task_group.
|
|
|
|
- If an application uses debug version of Intel TBB DLL built with static
|
|
MSVCRT (vc_mt variant), Microsoft* Visual C++ debug library 10.0
|
|
(msvcp100d.dll) is required to be available on the system to run
|
|
an application.
|
|
|
|
- If you are using Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks and OpenMP*
|
|
constructs mixed together in rapid succession in the same
|
|
program, and you are using Intel(R) compilers for your OpenMP*
|
|
code, set KMP_BLOCKTIME to a small value (e.g., 20 milliseconds)
|
|
to improve performance. This setting can also be made within
|
|
your OpenMP* code via the kmp_set_blocktime() library call. See
|
|
the Intel(R) compiler OpenMP* documentation for more details on
|
|
KMP_BLOCKTIME and kmp_set_blocktime().
|
|
|
|
- In general, non-debug ("release") builds of applications or
|
|
examples should link against the non-debug versions of the
|
|
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks libraries, and debug builds
|
|
should link against the debug versions of these libraries. On
|
|
Windows* OS, compile with /MD and use Intel(R) Threading
|
|
Building Blocks release libraries, or compile with /MDd and use
|
|
debug libraries; not doing so may cause run-time failures. See
|
|
the Tutorial in the product "doc" sub-directory for more details
|
|
on debug vs. release libraries.
|
|
|
|
- If open source verion installed to the system folders like /usr/lib64
|
|
on Linux OS examples may fail to link because sometimes gcc
|
|
searches for folders in the different order than expected.
|
|
-L command line linker option needs to be used to set the right
|
|
location. This does not affect a program execution.
|
|
|
|
- Running applications linked with Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks
|
|
version 4.0 U5 or higher under Intel(R) Graphics Performance
|
|
Analyzers is not supported.
