CMake cannot generate Ninja build rules for asm for IntelLLVM compiler since 3.20.x

CMake cannot generate Ninja build rules for asm for IntelLLVM compiler since 3.20.
When I using ninja to generate build rules, it cannot generate the build rules for asm files (.s file) based on IntelLLVM compiler since 3.20.x or later , it works in 3.19.x cmake or previous version.

Just to check the release notes, found IntelLLVM is supported in 3.2x. But in 3.1x the compiler id been detected as Clang, which can generate ASM build rules successfully by ninja.

Also, it works ok if switch compiler to others for same code in 3.2x version cmake

Compiler info:

      Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler 2022.1.0 (2022.x.0.YYYYMMDD)
      Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
      Thread model: posix
      and  CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER_ID:  "IntelLLVM"

generator: ninja
CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER has been set
enable_language asm added in cmake root file

Summary:

cmake version: <=3.19.x + clang/icx compiler + ninja; CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER_ID = CLANG, ASM build rules works well.
cmake version: <=3.19.x + gcc compiler + ninja; CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER_ID= GNU, ASM build rules works well.
cmake version: >=3.20.x + clang/icx compiler + ninja; CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER_ID= IntelLLVM, ASM build rules cannot generated by ninja.
cmake version: >=3.20.x + gcc compiler + ninja; CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER_ID = GNU, ASM build rules works well.
Could you help to check the cmake implementation, and help to support to generate Ninja build rules for asm for IntelLLVM . Thanks.

@yanyanli15 that may be an oversight in the IntelLLVM support. Please open an issue for it.

yanyanli15 · November 3, 2022, 11:57pm

@brad.king Thanks for the response, can I know how to open an issue for it? have any link or BKM?

If you can include a CMakeLists.txt and source files that demonstrate the problem as well as the cmake command line used to configure and build, that would help in reproducing the problem.

@yanyanli15 I found that we do have nightly testing of ASM language support on many versions of both the IntelLLVM (oneAPI) and Intel (Classic) compilers. In general it is expected to work already. Please try CMake 3.24 and/or 3.25 to be sure. If those don’t work then we’ll need to figure out why it doesn’t work in your case. For that, please include the details that @williamr requested when you open an issue.
