Intel SDE( Software Development Emulator )

Documentation: http://www.intel.com/software/sde Support is via Intel Software Network Forums: AVX and new-instruction related questions: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-avx-and-cpu-instructions/ SDE usage questions: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-development-emulator/ ============================================================== Linux Notes: RH systems: You must turn off SELinux to allow pin to work. Put "SELINUX=disabled" in /etc/sysconfig/selinux Ubuntu systems: Need to disable yama once, as root: $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope To use the debugging support, you must use gdb 7.4 or later. ============================================================== Windows Notes: Winzip adds executable permissions to every file. Cygwin users must do a "chmod -R +x ." in the unpacked kit directory. To use the debugging support you must install the MSI from our web site and be using the final version MSVS2012 (not a release candidate). ============================================================== Mac OS X notes: Pin is very new to OS X. It has been tested on Snow Leopard and Lion. Pin requires elevated permissions to inject itself into a process. This requires that the pin executables (ia32/bin/pinbin and/or intel64/bin/pinbin) have "procmod" as effective group and also that the setgid bit is set. If you don't set these permissions, you'll get an informative error message showing you what you need to do. % cat ./doch #!/bin/csh -f echo chgrp procmod chgrp procmod $* echo setgid chmod g+s $* % sudo ./doch path-to-sde-kit/i*/pinbin The debugger connection support does not work yet on Mac OSX.
