- migrate to c++14 for most compilers *except* gcc.
There are still many systems in use with gcc-4.8.5, which does not
support c++14.
- initial rules for nvidia compilers (pgi is will soon be defunct).
Not fully tested...
CONFIG: provide fallback value for the user directory name
- in containers may have an unset USER env variable.
Default to 'user' to prevent ugly looking directory names.
- 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)
- The -Wno-deprecated-copy flag for gcc-9.2.0
In the future we may indeed wish to explicitly request default
generated constructors and assignment operators, but at the moment
these are still acceptable.
- The -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than flag for mingw compilations
Related to differences in PTRDIFF_MAX vs SIZE_MAX on the target.
Several issues related to this can be found in the gcc bug reports
and on stackoverflow etc.
