[BUG]: ICX Assembly comments for AVX2 Intrinsics are missing when using cmake

[petrock99]

Describe the bug

If I set up source editor to use icx-2023.1.0 with some C code that uses AVX2 Intrinsics there will be comments next to some of the corresponding assembly instructions. i.e. # AlignMOV convert to UnAlignMOV, # ymm0 = (ymm1 * ymm0) + mem or the ever important # 32-byte Spill.

But if I build the same exact code with cmake these comments are missing. Maybe I'm missing a flag in the CMakeLists.txt to enable this feature in Compiler Explorer?

Steps to reproduce

• Go to https://godbolt.org/z/v7zqfv9vd

Expected behavior

Both compiler sections should show identical content, including the assembly comments.

square:
  vmovupd ymm1, ymmword ptr [rdi] # AlignMOV convert to UnAlignMOV
  vmovupd ymm0, ymmword ptr [rdi + 8] # AlignMOV convert to UnAlignMOV
  vfmadd213pd ymm0, ymm1, ymmword ptr [rdi + 16] # ymm0 = (ymm1 * ymm0) + mem

When I click the Green Checkmark to see the compilation options used the compiler on the left shows:
-gdwarf-4 -g -o output.s -masm=intel -S --gcc-toolchain=/opt/compiler-explorer/gcc-13.1.0 -fcolor-diagnostics -fno-crash-diagnostics -std=c11 -O3 -g -march=alderlake -mtune=alderlake example.c

and the compiler on the right shows:
-fcolor-diagnostics -fno-crash-diagnostics

Sadly, if I add -gdwarf-4, -masm=intel and --gcc-toolchain=/opt/compiler-explorer/gcc-13.1.0 to the add_compile_options section in the CMakeLists.txt the problem still reproduces.

Another thing that is interesting is the compiler section on the left has slightly different assembly for the vfmadd213pd instruction:
left: [rdi + 16]
right: [rdi+0x10]

It's decimal vs hex. I'm not sure if that is related to this bug or not, or if I somehow enabled some formatting feature.

ASM shown when using CMake, is equivalent to using 'Link to binary' when compiling a file directly. (It is compiled and then the executable is disassembled with objdump)

There is no equivalent to -S when using CMake and this is also not possible to implement, sorry.

Sure you can.

• To build without linking, substitute add_library for add_executable in the CMakeLists.txt file. Since the CMakeLists.txt is on your servers, you can parse & modify them on the fly, right? cmake also supports nested CMakeLists.txt files. So you could nest the users CMakeLists.txt into your own CMakeLists.txt and copy/modify the state how you like. I haven't tried that, but in theory it could work.

• To get .s files use -save-temps instead of -S. Works like a charm with icx, gcc & clang. I'm not sure about other compilers. I've attached a sample project to demonstrate this working.

cd TestCMakeASM
cmake . -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
less test.s

Hope that helps.

Should I file a new bug or can this one be re-opened? Thanks.

Sadly, due to my job I'm not allowed to contribute to open source projects. I wish I could.

Could the 'wont-fix' flag be removed? Thanks.
