- give precedence to ~openmp (-no-openmp) over +openmp (-openmp)
in the general rules and in the Makefile. This makes it robuster
when specifying +openmp in general, but ~openmp for specific build
components.
- disable openmp for OSspecific and Pstream components.
Neither should contain any openmp code anyhow.
Additionally, since OSspecific is generally built as a static
object, it can become problematic (eg, with AMD ROCm) if the
compiler generates information that openmp is required but then uses
static linkage.
- selected with '+strict' in WM_COMPILE_CONTROL or 'wmake -strict', it
enables the FOAM_DEPRECATED_STRICT() macro, which can be used to
mark methods that are implicitly deprecated, but are not yet marked
as full deprecated (eg, API modification is too recent, generates
too many warnings). Can be considered a developer option.
- eg, for partially incomplete systems (without libz devel header)
ENH: clearer binding of dummy Pstream in OpenFOAM/Make/options
- link of dummy stub Pstream now contingent on linking libOpenFOAM as
well. This makes the purpose slightly clearer
ENH: cleaner option naming/handling in wmake script
- allow special purpose -no-openfoam option.
Eg, compiling test programs without OpenFOAM and Pstream libraries
but using the rest of the wmake system.
ENH: add +openmp support into WM_COMPILE_CONTROL (#2633)
- this adds compile/link flags for openmp.
For single-use, can also use 'wmake -openmp'.
If both +openmp and ~openmp are specified in WM_COMPILE_CONTROL
the ~openmp will have priority.
This is actually done indirectly since ~openmp will set empty
COMP_OPENMP, LINK_OPENMP internal variables, which the +openmp then
adds to the c++FLAGS and linkexe targets (ie, won't actually add
anything).
ENH: add +ccache or ccache=... support into WM_COMPILE_CONTROL (#2633)
- with the first version (+ccache), simply use ccache from the path
without any extra options.
- with the second version (ccache=...), can be more specific about
what is called.
Using "+ccache" is identical to "ccache=ccache", but the later could
be used in other ways. For example,
ccache=/strange/install/path/ccache
ccache=</path/my-tooling --option>
Have the choice of unquoted, single or double quoted or '< >' quoted
STYLE: relocate FOAM_EXTRA_LDFLAGS in general makefile
- removes clutter for different linkers (eg, gold, mold, ldd)
making it easier to extend for other linkers.
STYLE: protect makefile checks with 'strip' function
- uses '-g -DFULLDEBUG' (like Debug), but with -O3 (like Opt).
This adds in debug symbols and FULLDEBUG code segments (good for
code development) but retains -O3 optimizations and code paths and
avoids the much slower -O0 associated with 'Debug'.
- add in central wmake/General/common/{c,c++}XXX tuning,
which helps reduce the number of nearly identical files
ENH: add support for wmake -debug-Og
- only wrap compiler calls (not things like flex/bison)
- avoid single quoted '&&' (causes syntax errors)
STYLE: report WM_COMPILE_CONTROL value in top-level Allwmake
- 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)
- add '[-+.~]' to the recognized qualifiers.
This allows simple readable names such as
WM_COMPILER=Clang-vendor
but also opens the FUTURE (not yet supported) possibility of
combining in additional information. For example,
WM_COMPILER=Clang~openmp
WM_COMPILER=Clang+cuda~openmp
by using '+' (add) and '~' (subtract) notation similar to what
spack uses.
CONFIG: support 'override' rules
- if present, compiler-family 'override' rules are included after
compiler-family 'general' rules have been included. This allows a
central means for including dynamically generated content to
override some values.
Some examples:
To handle different gcc versions (system compiler):
wmake/rules/...Gcc/override
```
ifneq (,$(findstring 9, $(WM_COMPILER)))
cc := gcc-9
CC := g++-9 -std=c++11
endif
```
To handle different openmp on Darwin (#1656):
wmake/rules/darwin64Clang/override
```
# Use libomp (not libgomp) unless openmp is disabled
ifeq (,$(findstring "~openmp", "$(WM_COMPILER)"))
COMP_OPENMP = -DUSE_OMP -Xpreprocessor -fopenmp
LINK_OPENMP = -lomp
else
include $(GENERAL_RULES)/no-openmp
endif
```
This treatment arguably fits into wmake/rules/darwin64Clang/general,
but it serves to illustrate a possible use case.
- 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.
