- support gperftools-none, gperftools-system configurations
as per other third-party packages.
STYLE: clean up more environment variables
CONFIG: testing adios rule
- these directories are sometimes used for a central, non-thirdparty, non-system
installation
- leave gmp and mpfr as is, since it is not clear how these would interact with system
versions
On 64-bit systems, the system installations of boost, cgal are under
lib64/. The behaviour for a ThirdParty build is mostly lib/ but this
can also be changing.
Boost 1_62_0 and older build into 'lib/'.
CGAL-4.9 builds into 'lib64/', older versions into 'lib/'.
Future-proof things by using lib$WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH for boost and
cgal build rules, and forcing these as build targets in the ThirdParty
makeCGAL as well.
--
STYLE: check for boost/version.hpp, CGAL/version.h instead their directories
- CGAL itself includes its library dependencies, we only need to
provide the -L... option to the proper ThirdParty locations.
Should help improve general build robustness.
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.
The pre-processor macro 'OPENFOAM_PLUS' is defined with a numerical
value equal to the currently compatible version number.
This can be used judiciously within user coding to help with minor
differences between OpenFOAM versions. For example,
#ifdef OPENFOAM_PLUS
#if (OPENFOAM_PLUS >= 1612)
...
#endif
#endif
or simply
#if (OPENFOAM_PLUS >= 1612)
...
#endif
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.
This resolves a whole range of issues and work-arounds with earlier
releases. This version of icpc is more or less compatible with the
latest gcc and clang compilers and only required one hack to avoid
warnings from PackedBoolList.H.
On 32bit OSs long is not unambiguously int32_t (or int64_t) causing
problems for IO operator resolution. This problem is avoided by
explicitly defining the following operators:
