Pintool compilation error

[plaublin]

Hello

The compilation of xfdetector fails at the pintool step on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with g++ 9.3.0. How could I fix this error?

I also encountered this problem. How did you solve it？

[sihangliu]

Have you tried g++7.x?

[tanglt1514]

I tried.But it still reported the error.

[tanglt1514]

Is the absence of a persistent memory device the cause of this error？

[sihangliu]

No, emulated persistent memory also works. The behavior and software dependencies are the same. Looks like your error is due to the PIN tool. Have you tried newer versions? The one comes with this repo is relatively old and may not work with newer environments.
