g++ and cilkscreen for detecting race condition

I'm trying to use cilkscreen to detect some race conditions in a code. I'm compiling my code using 

g++-5 -g foo.cpp -fcilkplus -std=c++14 -lcilkrts -ldl -O2

However, when I launch cilkscreen I get the following error message:

cilkview ./a.out

Cilkview: Generating scalability data
Cilkview Scalability Analyzer V2.0.0, Build 4421
1100189201
Error: No Cilk code found in program

Should I add some more option to g++ ? Or does cilkscreen only works with code compiled with icc ?

FWIW: I'm using 

gcc version 5.3.1 20160301 [gcc-5-branch revision 233849] (SUSE Linux)
Solution

  • Cilkscreen/cilkview works only with icc/icpc.
