- 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.
- 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.
- FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER
Suppress use of user/group configuration files.
This is useful when packaging for a central installation.
- allow additional user tuning of compiler settings.
Per-compiler overrides in "compiler-$WM_COMPILER" files
- primary points for an external user are the polyMesh constructor
- add config info for gcc-7.3.0
COMP: intel-2017. Ignore unknown pragmas. Disambiguate method resolution.
- export library path for gmp/mpfr from CGAL config files.
This is required when non-system gmp/mpfr libraries are being
used, but not using a ThirdParty compiler installation.
- automatically handle lib/ vs lib64/ (eg, for central installations)
for packages such as boost, CGAL, etc. While the ThirdParty
compilation of these will normally land in lib64/, this may not be
the case when they are supplied by another means.
- reworked the handling of foamEtcFile and foamCleanPath for less
clutter in the configuration files.
Added the bin/tools/lib-dir script to handle logic that is
too complex to easily manage in csh.
- this implies that jobControl is a user-resource for OpenFOAM.
It was previously located under $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/jobControl,
but few users will have write access there.
- an unset FOAM_JOB_DIR variable is treated as "~/.OpenFOAM/jobControl",
which can partially reduce environment clutter.
- provide argList::noJobInfo() to conveniently suppress job-info on an
individual basis for short-running utilities (eg, foamListTimes) to
avoid unneeded clutter.
- handle sourcing bashrc with a relative path (issue #383)
- handle sourcing from bash and zsh.
Still need manual intervention when sourcing dash, sh, or ksh.
- replace grep in etc/cshrc with sed only
- logical instead of physical path for WM_PROJECT_DIR (issue #431).
Doesn't seem to be possible for csh/tcsh.
* Continue using physical locations when comparing directories,
but not for the top-level FOAM_INST_DIR, WM_PROJECT_DIR.
- relocate WM_CC, WM_CXX overrides from etc/config.*/compiler
to etc/config.*/settings to ensure that they are left untouched
when etc/config.sh/compiler is sourced while making third-party
packages (eg, gcc, llvm, CGAL).
- provide fallback FOAM_TUTORIALS setting in RunFunctions
STYLE: remove "~OpenFOAM" fallback as being too rare, non-obvious
- export/setenv WM_COMPILER_TYPE as suggested by Mattijs.
- for overall consistency, don't carp about an unset WM_COMPILER_TYPE,
since this would only be on the first instance (prior to the
export/setenv) and would be confusing about why/when this message
may occur.
- reduce clutter: only use (system|ThirdParty) for WM_COMPILER_TYPE.
Drop the old 'OpenFOAM' setting for WM_COMPILER_TYPE, which was
transitional in early 2011.
- make the error messages more meaningful
