Subject: Re: [GSoC] building JtR for MIC
Hi Alexander,
While trying to build john-jumbo for MIC, I encountered some issues which recovered potential bugs in icc (Intel compiler).
There’s a file named ‘pp.c’ which failed to compile for MIC, and the error is related to the use of type ‘__uint128_t’.
When compiling this file, icc tries to generate some SSE instructions for better performance. But SSE is not supported on MIC, and hence the compile error.
I’ve posted this issue to the Intel’s developer zone, and I’m still waiting for response.

Interestingly, I’ve also found another potential bug in icc while building john-jumbo. You may take a look as well:
