UCX fails to build with Intel compilers in optimized mode
Recent Intel compilers (I checked starting from 2023.2) automatically enable fast-math mode for optimized builds. This mode allows optimizations for floating-point arithmetic that assume that arguments and results are not NaNs or +-Infs. While most compilers will simply translate isnan and isinf to always false, recent Intel compilers took a different approach resulting in the following errors while building UCX in optimized mode.
.../ucx-master/src/ucs/datastruct/linear_func.h:171:9: error: explicit comparison with NaN in fast floating point mode [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-compare]
if (isnan(x) || isinf(x)) {
^~~~~~~~
.../ucx-master/src/ucs/datastruct/linear_func.h:171:21: error: explicit comparison with infinity in fast floating point mode [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-compare]
if (isnan(x) || isinf(x)) {
A quick hack is to force Intel compilers to switch in precise floating point mode for the incriminating function (ucs_linear_func_compose).

Unfortunately, the proposed "solution" only works for the Intel compilers, all other compilers will choke with an unknown-pragma error. I fiddled a little around and it seems the culprit is the extremely restrictive -Werror flag added by configure. Without it I was able to successfully compile in all cases.
Can you please try to partially disable fast-math optimization with -fno-finite-math-only? Else we could wrap isnan()/isinf() with __FINITE_MATH_ONLY__ being false, but seems that ICX does not use that define, do you find anything related that would be set by ICX?
Adding CFLAGS=-fno-finite-math-only solves the problem.
Few additional issues:
- ADD_COMPILER_FLAG_IF_SUPPORTED add the flags to all compilers, which requires the C and CXX compilers to be of the same type. I confirm that building with icx/g++ does not work.
- the
-fopenmpOpenMP flag added by configure is not supported by icx. Instead it asks for-qopenmp. Again, this is triggered by the use of-Werror, if I remote it everything goes smoothly.
Could you please try #9893 using build instructions in description? For openmp, how are you configuring UCX?
- Using a slightly older version of the Intel compiler 2021.10.0 (gcc version 11.4.1 compatibility), everything works (including the OpenMP support) without the patch.

The error message is:
icx: error: icx: Use of '-qopenmp' recommended over '-fopenmp' [-Werror,-Wrecommended-option]
- I gave it what it wants and set
CFLAGS="-Wno-recommended-option"before configure. With this and Intel compilers 2024.0.2 and your patch everything WORKS.
thanks, updated PR with -Wno-recommended-option, could you please double check?
