- filtering using sed causes most builds to slow down quite a bit, as the
compiler wrapper has to run sed many times, and *it* runs many times
- do the system directory parsing directly in bash
- Adding -L and -Wl,-rpath to compile-only command lines ("cc mode" or
"-c") causes clang (if not also other compilers) to emit warnings that
confuse configure systems.
- Clang will print warnings about unused command-line arguments.
- This fix ensures that -L and -Wl,-rpath are not added if the compile
line is just building an object file with -c
- This also cleans up the cc script in several places.
Spack currently prepends include paths, library paths, and rpaths to the
compile line. This causes problems when a header or library in the package
has the same name as one exported by one of its dependencies. The
*dependency's* header will be preferred over the package's, which is not
what most builds expect. This also breaks some of our production codes.
This restores the original cc behavior (from *very* early Spack) of parsing
compiler arguments out by type (`-L`, `-I`, `-Wl,-rpath`) and reconstituting
the full command at the end.
`<includes> <other_args> <library dirs> <rpaths>`
This differs from the original behavior in one significant way, though: it
*appends* the library arguments so that dependency libraries do not shadow
those in the build.
This is safe because semantics aren't affected by *interleaving* `-I`, `-L`,
and `-Wl,-rpath` arguments with others, only with each other (so the order of
two `-L` args affects the search path, but we search for all libraries on the
command line using the same search path).
We preserve the following:
1. Any system directory in the paths will be listed last.
2. The root package's include/library/RPATH flags come before flags of the
same type for any dependency.
3. Order will be preserved within flags passed by the build (except system
paths, which are moved to be last)
4. Flags for dependencies will appear between the root flags and the system
flags, and the flags for any dependency will come before those for *its*
dependencies (this is for completeness -- we already guarantee this in
`build_environment.py`)

If the user sets "ccache: true" in spack's config.yaml, Spack will use an available
ccache executable when compiling c/c++ code. This feature is disabled by default
(i.e. "ccache: false") and the documentation is updated with how to enable
ccache support
The name of the debug log written by the cc compiler wrapper was given
by Spec.short_spec, which includes the architecture. Somewhere along
the line Spec.format started adding spaces around the architecture
property so the filename started including spaces; the cc wrapper
script appears to ignore this, so files like spack-cc-bzip2-....in.log
(which record the wrapped compiler invocations) were not being
generated. This uses a different format string from the spec to
generate the wrapper log file names (which does not include spaces).
* Add support for IBM threaded compilers, xl*_r
Added new compiler class, xl_r; added default flags to the compilers.yaml file.
* Add cppflags to the set of default flags to be added to the compilers stanza in compiler.yaml.
These flags are optional. Only defined flags will be listed in the compilers.yaml file.
* Fix scripting warnings revealed by flake8.
Updated __init__.py and xl_r.py to conform with flake8 rules.
* Add justification to the definition of the XL default compiler flags.
* Allow compiler wrapper to modify environment
This adds the ability to set environment variables in the compiler
wrappers. These are specified as part of the compilers.yaml config.
The user may also specify RPATHs in compilers.yaml that should be
added.
* Minor doc tweak
- Fixed up dependency management so that:
- build deps go in PATH and -I
- link deps go in -L args
- only *immediate* link deps are RPATH'd
The latter reduces the number of libraries that need to be added to
DT_NEEDED / LC_RPATH. This removes redundant RPATHs to transitive
dependencies.
- ld -r doesn't work with RPATH on OS X.
- for GNU ld, the -r option only means 'relocatable',
and doesn't affect RPATH.
- This adds special handling to omit RPATHs for ld -r on OS X
- removed a lot of old logic that was only still needed for tests.
- Added better unit tests for dependency RPATH, -L, and -I args
- tests now check whether the compiler omits -I args in link mode.
This changes the compiler wrappers so that they are called by the same
name as the wrapped compiler. Many builds make assumptions about
compiler names, and we need the spack compilers to be recognizable so
that build systems will get their flags right.
This adds per-compiler subdirectories to lib/spack/spack/env directory
that contain symlinks to cc for the C, C++, F77, and F90
compilers. The build now sets CC, CXX, F77, and F90 to point to these
links instead of to the generically named cc, c++, f77, and f90
wrappers.
- Startup is much faster
- Added test for compiler wrapper parsing.
- Removed old compilation module that had to be imported by old cc.
- Removed cc from python version checks now that it's bash.
- Spack needed symlinks in env for fortran compilers.
- 'fc' is a bash bulitin, so can't use it for fortran compiler.
- switched to 'f90' for this.
- mpich 3 builds with fortran now.
- enabled shared libs in mpich package
- no more need for compiler python files.
- Default compilers are found in user's environment and added
to ~/.spackconfig automatically
- User can add new compilers by editing configuration file
- Consolidated build environment stuff from package.py into
build_environment.py
- package.py calls build_environment.py functions just before calling
install(), in do_install()
- Organization is better b/c SPACK_xxxx environment variables are now
in build_environment, the only place they're used. Were previously
cluttering globals.py.
