  • Language: C
  • Compiler: GCC(>=8)
  • Architecture: x86_64
  • OS: Linux

Installation #

Step 1: install GCC plugin development tools #

To build libcsp, you need to install GCC plugin development tools first. The installing command depends on your package manager,

  • apt:
$ sudo apt install gcc-`gcc -dumpversion | awk -F . '{print $1}'`-plugin-dev
  • yum:
$ sudo yum install -y gcc-plugin-devel.x86_64

Step 2: build and install libcsp #

Download the latest source from here. Then

$ tar -zxvf libcsp-x.y.z.tar.gz
$ cd libcsp-x.y.z
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Libcsp provides several options for ./congiure:

  • --enable-debug: It will disable the gcc optimization and add debug information if enabled.
  • --enable-valgrind: It will add support for valgrind if enabled.
  • --with-sysmalloc: It will use system’s malloc method when malloc the process stack if enabled.

Use variables CC and CXX to explicitly control which GCC version you use.

Example:

$ ./configure CC=gcc-8 CXX=g++-8 --enable-debug --enable-valgrind
