Installing PIN

Performing Installation

Installing the PIN GCC Client

yum install -y pin-gcc-client

Installing the PIN Server

yum install -y pin-server

Build

Building the PIN GCC Client

git clone https://gitee.com/openeuler/pin-gcc-client.git
cd pin-gcc-client
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DMLIR_DIR=${MLIR_PATH} -DLLVM_DIR=${LLVM_PATH}
make

Building the PIN Server

git clone https://gitee.com/openeuler/pin-server.git
cd pin-server
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DMLIR_DIR=${MLIR_PATH} -DLLVM_DIR=${LLVM_PATH}
make

Usage

You can use -fplugin and -fplugin-arg-libpin_xxx to enable the Plug-IN (PIN) tool. Command:

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
    $(CXX) -fplugin=${CLIENT_PATH}/libpin_gcc_client.so \
    -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-server_path=${SERVER_PATH}/pin_server \
    -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-log_level="1" \
    -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-arg1="xxx"

You can use the ${INSTALL_PATH}/bin/pin-gcc-client.json file to configure PIN. The configuration options are as follows:

• path: path of the executable file of the PIN server.
• sha256file: path of the PIN verification file xxx.sha256.
• timeout: timeout interval for cross-process communication, in milliseconds.

Compile options:

• -fplugin: path of the .so file of the PIN client.
• -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-server_path: path of the executable program of the PIN server.
• -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-log_level: default log level. The value ranges from 0 to 3. The default value is 1.
• -fplugin-arg-libpin_gcc_client-argN: other parameters that can be specified as required. argN indicates the argument required by PIN.

Compatibility

This section describes the compatibility issues in some special scenarios. This project is in continuous iteration and will be fixed as soon as possible. Developers are welcome to join this project.

• When PIN is enabled in the -flto phase, multi-process compilation using make -j is not supported. You are advised to use make -j1 for compilation.
