- 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.
- downgrades some diagnostics about nonconformant code from errors to
warnings. Oddly enough, the errors actually arise from STL library
elements shipped with gcc itself. Affects kahip compilation with
gcc-6, gcc-7
- required if there is no system openmp and libomp or libgomp are
only found in the clang hierarchy
STYLE: add some notes in the openmp rules.
- the _OPENMP macro is now used in low-level testing files
The change from C++0x to C++11 allows all of C++11 functionality to be
used in OpenFOAM, in particular constructor delegation which avoids code
duplication or constructor helper functions. However, this also means a
change to the minimum gcc version supported which is now 4.7 rather than
4.5.
Note that gcc-4.7 does not support the entire C++11 standard but does
support all of the functionality currently needed for further OpenFOAM
development. The minimum gcc-version which supports the entire C++11
standard is 4.8 which is now the recommended minimum gcc version.
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.
