The icx and icpx Intel compilers are selected by
WM_COMPILER=Icx
These compilers are based on the Clang front-end and hence the configuration
files are based on and nearly identical to those for Clang.
Support for the new OneAPI compilers replaces the now deprecated Intel icc, icpc
compilers.
cpp is no longer used to pre-process Make/files files allowing standard make '#'
syntax for comments, 'ifdef', 'ifndef' conditionals etc. This is make possible
by automatically pre-pending SOURCE += to each of the source file names in
Make/files.
The list of source files compile can be specified either as a simple list of
files in Make/files e.g.
# Note: fileMonitor assumes inotify by default. Compile with -DFOAM_USE_STAT
# to use stat (=timestamps) instead of inotify
fileMonitor.C
ifdef SunOS64
dummyPrintStack.C
else
printStack.C
endif
LIB = $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/libOSspecific
or
or directly as the SOURCE entry which is used in the Makefile:
SOURCE = \
adjointOutletPressure/adjointOutletPressureFvPatchScalarField.C \
adjointOutletVelocity/adjointOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C \
adjointShapeOptimizationFoam.C
EXE = $(FOAM_APPBIN)/adjointShapeOptimizationFoam
In either form make syntax for comments and conditionals is supported.
gcc version 5 and above and clang version 3.4 and above fully support the C++14
standard and the compilation rules of OpenFOAM-dev now require this support
allowing for further development and maintenance to benefit from the additional
language features provided in C++14.
Now lnInclude are created as required by the presence of entries in the EXE_INC
variable in the Make/options file. This removes the need for calling
wmakeLnInclude in various Allwmake files to ensure the existence of the
lnInclude directories prior to compilation of dependent libraries.
This change ensures only one include file is open at a time by storing the
included files on a dynamic list rather than scanning the tree and holding a
list of open buffers. This new approach is a bit faster and avoids the "too
many open files" error on machines with low limits on the number of file
descriptors allocated to users.
to avoid the need for sed'ing the output. This improves performance by avoiding
the need for calling additional commands and generating a temporary file.
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.
