- additional -serial/-parallel option:
prefer Allrun-serial or Allrun-parallel if available
- optional -output=DIR to preserve output
ENH: report missing tutorials/ directory in RunFunctions
- in some cases, additional dictionary inputs are useful for extending
the input parameters or functionality of dynamic coded conditions.
Typically this can be used to provide a simple set of dictionary
inputs that are used to drive specific code, but allows changing the
inputs without causing a recompilation.
Accessed with this type of code:
```
const dictionary& dict = this->codeContext();
```
boundary conditions and function objects:
* specify an additional codeContext dictionary entry:
```
codeContext
{
...
}
```
PatchFunction1:
* The code context dictionary is simply the dictionary used to specify
the PatchFunction1 coefficients.
To replicated persistant data, use local member static data.
Eg,
```
code
#{
// Persistent (Member) Data
static autoPtr<Function1<scalar>> baseVel;
static autoPtr<Function1<vector>> baseDir;
...
#}
```
fvOptions:
* currently not applicable
- meshTools include/library for many (most) coded items
- add PatchFunction1 include for coded BCs to provide ready access
to Function1 and PatchFunction1
- largely as per patch from Jong-Gwan (Jason) Do
NB: the intel-one setup adds in paths for intelmpi.
Its mpicc version does not harmonize with the OpenFOAM
system openmpi setup (using mpicc --showme:link).
Needs adjustment, or use intelmpi instead.
- update name mappings for newer gcc, clang versions
It was only looking for faces that were used in both
endpoints but not actually checking whether they were indeed
an edge (== consecutive vertex) in all faces. So if one
face had an additional crossing edge and another didn't it
would find more edgeFaces than the proper
'primitiveMesh::edgeFaces()' routine.
This occasionally happened inside snappyHexMesh
(e.g. motorBike tutorial)
- previously had a very old (likely irrelevant) setting for solaris
systems only.
- support site-specific customization.
Eg, using etc/config.{csh,sh}/prefs.fjmpi
- remove erroneous shell redirects present in cshell files
- if the system/decomposeParDict is missing, skip check for matching
number of processor dirs. This can make job dispatch easier.
Does not apply if -decomposeParDict was explicitly specified.
STYLE: adjust naming of host/slaves in argList
- can use either command-line option "-load-fields" or dictionary
entry "readFields" to specify field names to be preloaded.
Essentially the same functionality as with a readFields function
object but with a lot less typing.
- tutorial examples provided by Ryan Danks <ryan.danks@rwdi.com>
illustrate using setExpr* utilities to calculate a quantity
as a post-processing step.
- previously always called dlclose on opened libraries when destroying
the dlLibraryTable. However, by force closing the libraries the
situation can arise that the library is missing its own code that it
needs on unload (#1524). This is also sometimes evident when closing
VTK libraries for runTimePostProcessing (#354, #1585).
- The new default is to not forcibly dlclose any libraries, unless
the dlcloseOnTerminate OptimisationSwitch specifies otherwise.
- The dlLibraryTable::close() method can be used to explicitly close
all libraries and clear the list.
- The dlLibraryTable::clear() method now only clears the entries,
without a dlclose.
- easier support for non-mandatory functions.
In some boundary conditions it can be desirable to support
additional functions, but not necessarily require them. Make this
easier to support with a Function1, PatchFunction1 NewIfPresent()
selector.
- support for compatibility lookups
- harmonize branching logic and error handling between Function1 and
PatchFunction1.
ENH: refactor a base class for Function1, PatchFunction1
- includes base characteristics, patch or scalar information
ENH: additional creation macros
- makeConcreteFunction1, makeConcretePatchFunction1Type for adding a
non-templated function into the correct templated selection table.
makeScalarPatchFunction1 for similarity with makeScalarFunction1
- prefix FOAM_MPI and library directories with 'sys-' for system
versions for uniform identication.
WM_MPLIB | libdir (FOAM_MPI) | old naming |
SYSTEMMPI | sys-mpi | mpi |
SYSTEMOPENMPI | sys-openmpi | openmpi-system |
- prefix preferences with 'prefs.' to make them more easily
identifiable, and update bin/tools/create-mpi-config accordingly
Old name: config.{csh,sh}/openmpi
New name: config.{csh,sh}/prefs.openmpi
- additional mpi preferences now available:
* prefs.intelmpi
* prefs.mpich
...
CONFIG: added hook for EASYBUILDMPI (eb-mpi), somewhat like USERMPI
- EasyBuild uses mpicc when compiling, so no explicit wmake rules are
used
ENH: support different major versions for system openmpi
- for example, with
WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI2
defines FOAM_MPI=sys-openmpi2 and thus creates lib/sys-openmpi2
ENH: centralize handling of mpi as 'mpi-rules'
Before:
sinclude $(GENERAL_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
sinclude $(DEFAULT_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
ifeq (,$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN))
FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN := $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/$(FOAM_MPI)
endif
After:
include $(GENERAL_RULES)/mpi-rules
- also allows variants such as SYSTEMOPENMPI2 to be handled separately
- ensures that subsequent Allwmake scripts know about it.
ENH: add bin/tools/query-detect wrapper for wmake have_* scripts
CONFIG: use project/ThirdParty without additional sanity checks
- no need to test for Allwmake or platforms/ if ThirdParty is located
within the project directory itself.
COMP: add simple mpi test to 00-dummy
- for testing library linkage, etc.
- consistent with FOAM_SIGFPE etc.
- centralize code as error::useAbort() static function to avoid
scattering the logic throughout the code.
ENH: also accept "0" and "1" string values for Switch
- not the normal path for Switch input (eg, from a dictionary), but
consistent with bool definitions and simplifies string parsing.
This means that `FOAM_SIGFPE=1 application` will now also work.
- timeVaryingUniformFixedValue -> uniformFixedValue
- allows a variety of functions (eg, coded, expressions, tables, ...)
- more similarity to finiteVolume patch type
STYLE: remove unused timeVarying... from etc/controlDict
- introduce WM_COMPILE_CONTROL variable to convey control information
into the build rules.
The convention (as per spack):
- '+' to select a feature
- '~' to deselect a feature
Eg, to select the gold linker, and disable openmp
(spaces are not required):
WM_COMPILE_CONTROL="+gold ~openmp"
CONFIG: accept FOAM_EXTRA_LDFLAGS for AMD, gold, Mingw linkers
CONFIG: generalize PROJECT_LIBS (-ldl used almost universally)
- useful for supporting a variety of different predefined
configuration files. Bypasses the regular etc/bashrc entirely.
- minor refactoring in foamCreateModuleInclude
- when installed in-source, use PETSC_ARCH to find additional include
directory and the correct library directory
CONFIG: bump to new hypre version
- add -hint option for have_adios2, have_hypre, have_petsc
ENH: add log FO
ENH: improve log with scale, and offset entries
BUG: ensure extrueMesh does not fail in parallel with wedge extrusion
BUG: add missing clone and mapping funcs to copiedFixedValue, fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux
ENH: meshToMesh0::cellAddressing slight speed up for some geometries
BUG:0003495: Divide-by-zero in SHF particle break-up model
BUG:0003492: The formula in the OF is inconsistent with the Rosin-Rammler distribution theory formula
Please refer to the header file documentation for complete set of details.
ENH: add new fvOptions for ABL modelling
- atmAmbientTurbSource
- atmBuoyancyTurbSource
- atmCoriolisUSource
- atmLengthScaleTurbSource
- atmPlantCanopyTurbSource
- atmPlantCanopyUSource
- atmPlantCanopyTSource
- atmNutSource
ENH: add new boundary conditions for ABL modelling
with PatchFunction1 and TimeFunction1 support
- atmAlphatkWallFunction
- atmEpsilonWallFunction
- atmNutkWallFunction
- atmNutUWallFunction
- atmNutWallFunction
- atmOmegaWallFunction
- atmTurbulentHeatFluxTemperature
STYLE: change names of nutkAtmRoughWallFunction -> atmNutkWallFunction by
ensuring the bitwise backward compatibility
ENH: add new variable-scaling force computation method to actuationDiskSource
ENH: review actuationDiskSource and radialActuationDiskSource
ENH: add new function object, ObukhovLength
ENH: add new ABL tutorials/verifications
- verificationAndValidation/atmosphericModels/atmFlatTerrain
- verification with the Leipzig field experiment
- illustration of precursor/successor field mapping
- verificationAndValidation/atmosphericModels/atmForestStability
- verification with the Sweden field experiment
- update incompressible/simpleFoam/turbineSiting
ENH: update libs of etc/caseDicts/postProcess items
ENH: ensure destructor=default
ENH: ensure constness
ENH: ensure no 'copy construct' and 'no copy assignment' exist
TUT: add examples of function objects with full set
of settings into a TUT if unavailable
TUT: update pisoFoam/RAS/cavity tutorial in terms of usage
- When compiling additional modules or user code, we need more control
for the installation locations beyond the usual FOAM_USER_LIBBIN,
FOAM_SITE_LIBBIN, FOAM_LIBBIN, and wish to have these values be
modifiable without editing files.
- provide wmake rules for handling standard defaults:
* GENERAL_RULES/module-path-user
* GENERAL_RULES/module-path-group
* GENERAL_RULES/module-path-project
which are incorporated as follows:
Make/options:
include $(GENERAL_RULES)/module-path-user
Make/files:
LIB = $(FOAM_MODULE_LIBBIN)/libMyLibrary
By default these would compile into FOAM_USER_{APPBIN,LIBBIN} but
could be adjusted at compilation time. For example,
```
wmake -module-prefix=/path/my-install-location
```
Or
```
./Allwmake -module-prefix=/path/my-install-location
./Allwmake -prefix=/path/my-install-location
```
Or
```
FOAM_MODULE_PREFIX=/path/my-install-location ./Allwmake
```
ENH: add -no-recursion option for AllwmakeParseArguments
- more descriptive naming than the -fromWmake option (still supported)
- remove wmake/scripts/wmake.{cmake,wmake}-args since the -prefix
handling and -no-recursion is now directly handled by AllwmakeParseArguments
- now list compiler versions in reverse order (newest first) similar
to how they are listed on the gcc/llvm sites. Add comments to
mention which compiler series are now considered unsupported.
- previously introduced `getOrDefault` as a dictionary _get_ method,
now complete the transition and use it everywhere instead of
`lookupOrDefault`. This avoids mixed usage of the two methods that
are identical in behaviour, makes for shorter names, and promotes
the distinction between "lookup" access (ie, return a token stream,
locate and return an entry) and "get" access (ie, the above with
conversion to concrete types such as scalar, label etc).
- dependency handling relocated from cmakeFunctions to wmakeFunctions
and reused for mpi-versioned builds. This allows more checks for
configuration parameters and removes hard-code build path
information.
CONFIG: remove spurious mplibHPMPI entries
CONFIG: remove ADIOS1 rules (antiquated)
- initial split of wmake-related commands into "plumbing" and
"porcelain" akin to how git handles things.
- wmakeBuildInfo (very low-level), now relocated to the wmake/scripts
and accessible for the user as "wmake -build-info".
This satisfies a long-standing desire to access build information
in a fashion similar to the api/patch information.
CONFIG: avoid git information when building with a debian/ directory
- when a 'debian/' directory exists, there is a high probability that
the '.git/' directory is from debian and not from OpenFOAM (ie,
useless here). This corresponds to an implicit '-no-git', which has
no effect when building from pristine sources.
ENH: wmakeCheckPwd becomes scripts/wmake-check-dir
- accessible for the user as "wmake -check-dir" and with 1 or 2
directory names. A wmakeCheckPwd symlink left for compatibility.
- improve handling of changes in ParaView/VTK or cmake parameters (#1693)
* adjust internals to support recording of an unlimited number of
configuration parameters and use file `cmp` instead of trying
to check strings ourselves.
ENH: new wmake/scripts/wmake.cmake-args handler
- additional handling of -prefix=... as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX export.
- in some contexts, can use instead of AllwmakeParseArguments
- bin/tools/create-mpi-config to query/write values for system openmpi.
In some cases this can be used to avoid an mpicc requirement at runtime.
- adjust openfoam session to include -test-tutorial forwarding to the
tutorials/AutoTest. This helps with writing installation tests.
- adjust foamConfigurePaths to latest version
- removal of gperftools default config, as per develop
- use Clang instead of Gcc for Darwin since this is its system
compiler. The user can force use of Gcc by using Gcc92 etc.
- make etc/cshrc sed check more robust.
- replace tcsh (${%var}) syntax with ("${var}" != "")
[Fixes and ideas from Alexey Matveichev]
CONFIG: do not source the gperftools environment by default
- this is now an used feature, but can be re-enabled by advanced users
if required.
- missed detection of system libraries when installed with multiarch
paths like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
CONFIG: improve handling of group/user config files (#928)
- changed bashrc handling of FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER to use
FOAM_CONFIG_MODE instead. Propagate into foamEtcFile to make this
a stickier control.
This change allows better control, but also enables cluster
installations to define their own value within the OpenFOAM prefs.sh
file to prevent users accidentally mis-configuring things if
necessary.
- remove undocumented handling of an (a)ll mode in foamEtcFile to
avoid potential pitfalls.
- add support for FOAM_CONFIG_ETC handling.
This allows injection of an extra search layer when finding
project etc files
ENH: improvements to foamConfigurePaths (#928)
- handle FOAM_CONFIG_ETC implicitly, or explicitly with the new
-etc option.
STYLE: more explicit wording in foamConfigurePaths usage (#1602)
- document that an absolute path (eg, -scotch-path) overrides/ignores
the equivalent ThirdParty setting (eg, -scotch)
- longer options -system-compiler and -third-compiler for -system
and -third, respectively. Clearer as to their purpose.
- adjust the location sanity check to look for META-INFO directory.
- '-c' option (as per shell), '-Dkey[=value]' option to provide
preferences via the command-line. For example,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang -int64 ./Allwmake -j -s -l
These can also be combined with other options. Eg,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang \
-c 'wmake -show-path-cxx -show-cxxflags'
- relocated from bin/tools/ => etc/ for easier access
- bin/tools/openfoam.in : for autoconfig-style installation
- Auto-detect if the shell script was executed with openfoam and
interpret accordingly.
Simple example,
--------------
#!/usr/bin/openfoam
cd "${0%/*}" || exit # Run -*-sh-*- from this dir
blockMesh
simpleFoam
--------------
Note it is NOT currently possible to provide any other parameters
this way. Eg,
`#!/usr/bin/openfoam -sp` (NOT)
This will either fail to run, or result in infinite recursion.
- base level surface container is now a meshedSurface instead of
a triSurface. This avoid automatic triangulation of surfaces
when they are read, and simplifies the internals.
- sampling types:
* "meshedSurface" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMesh")
* "meshedSurfaceNormal" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMeshNormal")
- missed detection of system libraries when installed with multiarch
paths like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

This will either fail to run, or result in infinite recursion.
- the foamConfigurePaths script is quite simplistic and aggressive in
what it changes. This was particularly evident when using it to
change gcc/clang versions.
Restructured the corresponding compiler settings to define default
versions (eg, "default_gcc_version") that limits the scope of
changes performed by foamConfigurePaths and makes it easier to
understand if changing manually.

Restructured the corresponding compiler settings to define default

- remove (unused) Istream constructors, prune some unused methods,
rationalize write() vs writeDict().
Deprecate inconsistent construction order.
- handle empty names for ".ftr" surface patches (for plain triSurface
format) with double-quoted strings for more reliable streaming.
Written on a single line.
This is _backward_ compatible, but if users have been parsing these
files manually, they will need to adjust their code.
Previously:
```
(
frt-fairing:001%1
empty
windshield:002%2
empty
...
)
```
Updated (with example handling of empty name):
```
(
frt-fairing:001%1 empty
windshield:002%2 ""
...
)
```
- now use debug 2 for scanner and debug 4 for parser.
Provided better feedback about what is being parsed (debug mode)
- relocate debug application to applications/tools/foamExprParserInfo
- locate where the user is less tempted to change it (#1515).
It really should be considered an invariant environment variable.
STYLE: wmake -help information to stdout, die errors to stderr
- skip processing OSspecific/MSwindows since this can cause duplicate
doxygen entries
STYLE: adjust formatting in code templates
STYLE: use std::string methods without extra qualifications
- when using VTK from ParaView sources it can better to tag them as
such, but simultaneously not mask the ParaView with hardware
rendering.
The additional ParaView_MESA_DIR variable allows this.
The balance of library and path setup is unaffected by this.
DOC: update doc/BuildIssues
- call also be used non-interactively for simple 'one-shot' use of
OpenFOAM utilities or solvers
STYLE: use dash instead of brackets for '- see www.OpenFOAM.com'
- less cluttered in combination with API information
- the use of 'paraview --version' can be fail if the build host
doesn't have the necessary graphics. For this case, try to obtain
the ParaView API number from the associated include directory.
- with 1906, OpenFOAM is purely C++ code and the last toolchain bits C
code have been avoided. Thus relax the wmake C rule for including
WM_COMPILE_OPTION. This makes it much easier to add different
compiler options with fewer files.
For example, for Broadwell-specific options:
cd wmake/rules/linux64Gcc
cp c++Opt c++OptBdw
edit this file and then use WM_COMPILE_OPTION=OptBdw
- ensure that WM_COMPILE_OPTION is always non-empty
- this cannot be left as a configurable value (on windows), since it
needs to be enabled even prior to reading the etc/controlDict file,
in case the OpenFOAM installation path itself contains spaces.
- add a '-SPDP' option
- remove the '-archOption' for forcing a '-m32' build on 64-bit
architecture, which is now considered too obscure.
Must edit files manually if this option is really required.
- now only needed when specify compiling -m32 on a 64-bit system.
Internally use the __SIZEOF_LONG__ compiler macro (gcc, icc, llvm)
to define when long is actually an int32_t.
Integration of VOF MULES new interfaces. Update of VOF solvers and all instances
of MULES in the code.
Integration of reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler solvers and sub-models
Updating reactingEuler tutorials accordingly (most of them tested)
New eRefConst thermo used in tutorials. Some modifications at thermo specie level
affecting mostly eThermo. hThermo mostly unaffected
New chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam solver for quenching and tutorial.
Phases sub-models for reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler were moved
to src/phaseSystemModels/reactingEulerFoam in order to be used by BC for
chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
Update of interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam solver.
- with the changes added in #1256 and corresponding updates to
ThirdParty we can stop exporting these variables:
WM_CC WM_CFLAGS WM_CXX WM_CXXFLAGS WM_LDFLAGS
- can be used to check the validity of input values.
Example:
dict.getCheck<label>("nIters", greaterOp1<label>(0));
dict.getCheck<scalar>("relax", scalarMinMax::zero_one());
- use 'get' prefix for more regular dictionary methods.
Eg, getOrDefault() as alternative to lookupOrDefault()
- additional ops for convenient construction of predicates
ENH: make dictionary writeOptionalEntries integer
- allow triggering of Fatal if default values are used
ENH: additional scalarRange static methods: ge0, gt0, zero_one
- use GREAT instead of VGREAT for internal placeholders
- additional MinMax static methods: gt, le
- for codedFunctionObject and CodedSource the main code snippets
were not included in the SHA1 calculation, which meant that many
changes would not be noticed and no new library would be compiled.
As a workaround, a dummy 'code' entry could be used solely for the
purposes of generating a SHA1, but this is easily forgotten.
We now allow tracking of the dynamicCodeContext for the coded
objects and append to the SHA1 hasher with specific entries.
This should solve the previous misbehaviour.
We additionally add information about the ordering of the code
sections. Suppose we have a coded function object (all code
segments are optional) with the following:
codeExecute "";
codeWrite #{ Info<< "Called\n"; #};
which we subsequently change to this:
codeExecute #{ Info<< "Called\n"; #};
codeWrite "";
If the code strings are simply concatenated together, the SHA1 hashes
will be identical. We thus 'salt' with their semantic locations,
choosing tags that are unlikely to occur within the code strings
themselves.
- simplify the coded templates with constexpr for the SHA1sum
information.
- Correct the CodedSource to use 'codeConstrain' instead of
'codeSetValue' for consistency with the underlying functions.
- fix typo in makefiles/info that affected wmake -show-compile-c
- additional safeguard in src/OpenFOAM/Make/options against self-linking.
This is not normally required unless PROJECT_LIBS has been added into
the link stage.
solaris:
- rename WM_ARCH from SunOS to solaris64 for consistency with wmake/rules
- drop non-64 solaris from wmake/rules
- remove automatic selection of FJMPI. This should be done in the bashrc
or prefs.sh file instead.
- remove old (likely inaccurate) exported flags, rely on wmake -show-xyz
or user config instead
darwin:
- remove '-Ddarwin' from the exported WM_CFLAGS, WM_CXXFLAGS.
Not used elsewhere (ThirdParty)
- having whitespace in fileName can be somewhat fragile since it means
that the fileName components do not necessarily correspond to a
'Foam::word'. But in many cases it will work provided that spaces
are not present in the final portion of the simulation directory
itself.
InfoSwitches
{
// Allow space character in fileName (use with caution)
allowSpaceInFileName 0;
}
- now use doClean=true as default for fileName::validate(). Was false.
Unlike fileName::clean() this requires no internal string rewrite
since the characters are being copied. Also handle any path
separator transformations (ie, backslash => forward slash) at the
same time. This makes it resemble the std::filesystem a bit more.
- While a rectilinear mesh can be created with blockMesh, not every mesh
created with blockMesh will satisfy the requirements for being a
rectilinear mesh.
This alternative to blockMesh uses a single block that is aligned
with the xy-z directions and specifications of the control points,
mesh divisions and expansion ratios. For example,
x
{
points ( -13.28 -0.10 6.0 19.19 );
nCells ( 10 12 10 );
ratios ( 0.2 1 5 );
}
y { ... }
z { ... }
With only one block, the boundary patch definition is simple and the
canonical face number is used directly. For example,
inlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 0 );
}
outlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 1 );
}
sides
{
type patch;
faces ( 2 3 );
}
...
- After a mesh is defined, it is trivial to retrieve mesh-related
information such as cell-volume, cell-centres for any i-j-k location
without an actual polyMesh.
STYLE: remove -noFunctionObjects from blockMesh
- no time loop, so function objects cannot be triggered anyhow.
- Extended runTimePostProcessing to include access to "live"
simulation objects such a geometry patches and sampled surfaces
stored on the "functionObjectObjects" registry.
- Add 'live' runTimePostProcessing of cloud data.
Extracts position and fields from the cloud via its objectRegistry writer
- For the "live" simulation objects, there are two new volume filters
that work directly with the OpenFOAM volume fields:
* iso-surface
* cutting planes
Both use the VTK algorithms directly and support multiple values.
Eg, can make multiple iso-levels or multiple planes parallel to each
other.
- When VTK has been compiled with MPI-support, parallel rendering will
be used.
- Additional title text properties (shadow, italic etc)
- Simplified handling of scalar-bar and visibility switches
- Support multiple text positions. Eg, for adding watermark text.
- in addition to managing different vendors and versions, it may also
be necessary or desirable to have a particular variant
(eg, profiling, release, etc).
Devise a new meaningful name for the variant and create a
corresponding wmake rule.
Eg, SYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling with a corresponding
"wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/mplibSYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling" file
that has suitable content for your system.
CONFIG: intel-mpi use intel64/ paths only for config and wmake rules (#1153)
- previously adjusted the config files, but missed the changes
required for the wmake rules too.
Now simply migrate to using "intel64/{include,bin,lib}"
instead of the older naming "{include,bin,lib}64"
These changes work since at least intel-mpi 2015 (5.x), but possibly
earlier as well
- was WM_PROJECT_API in the environment and FOAM_API in dictionaries.
Make these both consistently FOAM_API.
This is a non-breaking change, since the value of WM_PROJECT_API
(added in 1812) and/or FOAM_API is purely informative.
For the current correct values, always use
* foamEtcFile -show-api
* wmakeBuildInfo -show-api
- If using a non-clang compiler suite (gcc, intel, etc) the additional
lbraries required for mesa with llvm pipelines may not be found.
Provide a mesa_llvm configuration with in the 'vtk' config file.
Can use the usual types of settings
* mesa_llvm=llvm-4.0.1
* mesa_llvm=none
* mesa_llvm=system
- Note: mpich now builds libmpi.so instead of libmpich.so
- define both -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX and -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX regardless of
using openmpi or mpich. This simplifies the files and does not harm.
- instead of
WM_COMPILER=GccKNL WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Opt
-> linux64GccKNLDPInt32Opt
now specify
WM_COMPILER=Gcc WM_COMPILE_OPTION=OptKNL
-> linux64GccDPInt32OptKNL
This makes it easier (and more obvious) for adding different tweaks
without needing to generate too many files.
Eg,
cd wmake/rules/linux64Gcc
cp cOpt cOptBdw
cp c++Opt c++OptBdw
edit these two files and then use WM_COMPILE_OPTION=OptBdw
CONFIG: provide some default c/c++ flags in General compiler rules
- can make is easier when deriving new compile options, and ensures
that '-02' is enabled as an initial default.
- changed the sectorCoeffs keyword to 'point' from 'axisPt'
for more similarity with other dictionaries.
Continue to accept 'axisPt' for compatibility.
- was for parallel compilation across multiple hosts, but less useful
with modern CPUs with higher number of cores and/or hyperthreading.
Fragile use and dependent on a 'lockfile' utility that is not often
installed.
