Segfault when releasing access from host

2

Hi zjin,

SYCL application debugging has also been addressed in other forum topics under the SYCL development category so you might wanna have a look, for example, here.

You can debug SYCL code with the standard tools you would use for debugging C++ but only on the host device.

  • Make sure that you are compiling the application binary with the debug symbols by adding -g to your compilation command or if you are using CMake, specify the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug option.
  • Create a queue from a host device selector. e.g.,
    cl::sycl::queue myQueue(cl::sycl::host_selector{});
  • Run gdb and inspect the segfault-related frames from the backtrace.
  • I would also recommend running valgrind with memcheck to help detect the memory errors:
    valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all ./your-application

Lookup the memcheck-manual for more information that explains in details the memcheck error messages.

Regards,
Georgi
