- for compilers such as gcc and clang, may have several different
variants installed on the computer. Use WM_COMPILER_CONTROL to
specify the preferred variant.
Eg,
WM_COMPILER=Gcc
WM_COMPILER_CONTROL="version=8"
will compile with "gcc-8" and "g++-8"
Good practice would be to tag output directory names with the
version too. Eg
WM_COMPILER=Clang110
WM_COMPILER_CONTROL="version=11.0"
STYLE: modify message for change of gcc -> clang (darwin)
- 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
- 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.
which may be optionally overridden by version-specific rules.
For example the default rules for gcc on GNU/Linux x86_64 are in the
wmake/rules/linux64Gcc directory. If there is a need to change any of
the rules for a specific version of gcc, e.g. gcc-4.8.4 the directory
wmake/rules/linux64Gcc48 may be created into which any of the language
files may be provided containing the rules to override the defaults.
