The OpenCilk compiler still supports compiling Cilk programs to use the Intel Cilk Plus runtime system. The -fcilkplus
flag enables that support. The linker error you see means that you don't have Intel Cilk Plus runtime system installed.
Intel Cilk Plus is a different system from OpenCilk. Although Intel Cilk Plus is deprecated, it's still useful, from time to time, to be able to compile Cilk programs to Intel Cilk Plus. A deprecation warning might be appropriate, but I don't think it's appropriate to issue a full error.
I did not realize cilkplus still worked. I think a deprecation warning would be helpful.
Describe the bug
when compiling with
-fcilkplus
it errors with/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcilkrts: No such file or directory
Expected behavior
For it to error with a message to use
-fopencilk
OpenCilk version
clang version 16.0.6 (https://github.com/OpenCilk/opencilk-project df80b7d1b218109ee7427c0ef498848d9a63c118)
Similarly, are any of the other flags no longer used
