- provides an optional memory management using a memory pool.
Currently can support Umpire (https://github.com/LLNL/Umpire)
When available, its use can be controlled by the FOAM_MEMORY_POOL
environment variable, or the memory_pool Optimisation switch
(etc/controlDict).
Notes:
Use of the memory-pool is controlled by the 'is_aligned_type()' test
and the minimum field size, controlled by the 'use_memory_pool()' test.
If the memory-pool is not enabled or not required according to the two
above tests, the allocation falls back to either an aligned or unaligned
allocation (depending on the field size).
The thresholds for aligned, unaligned, memory-pool allocation
are still a compile-time option. Made by direct edit of the
corrsponding functions.
- /usr/bin/{gcc,g++} normally just symlinks to clang/clang++
and may have unknown default flags.
For a gcc toolchain, it would be better to use a homebrew
installation.
For these cases, the compiler will need to be specified with
version=.. in WM_COMPILE_CONTROL.
For example, with "version=14", to select gcc-14, g++-14 from the
homebrew installation.
- needs a slight hack for locating the FlexLexer.h header.
Added into src/OSspecific/POSIX similar to how it is handled
in src/OSspecific/MSwindows
CONFIG: add simple config/detection support for libumpire (Linux)
- 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.
- generalize some of the library extensions (.so vs .dylib).
Provide as wmake 'sysFunctions'
- added note about unsupported/incomplete system support
- centralize detection of ThirdParty packages into wmake/ subdirectory
by providing a series of scripts in the spirit of GNU autoconfig.
For example,
have_boost, have_readline, have_scotch, ...
Each of the `have_<package>` scripts will generally provide the
following type of functions:
have_<package> # detection
no_<package> # reset
echo_<package> # echoing
and the following type of variables:
HAVE_<package> # unset or 'true'
<package>_ARCH_PATH # root for <package>
<package>_INC_DIR # include directory for <package>
<package>_LIB_DIR # library directory for <package>
This simplifies the calling scripts:
if have_metis
then
wmake metisDecomp
fi
As well as reducing clutter in the corresponding Make/options:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(METIS_INC_DIR) \
-I../decompositionMethods/lnInclude
LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(METIS_LIB_DIR) -lmetis
Any additional modifications (platform-specific or for an external build
system) can now be made centrally.
