Hi Michael,

Hi Dominik

Concerning the flags: you should add the -no-multibyte-chars to the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable. This will get prepended to all CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_{RELEASE,DEBUG,...} flags, since you don't want this flag to be used for the Release configuration exclusively, but for all configurations.

Thanks for the clarifications.


Linking against ifcore using the C++ compiler only works if it is on the search path (probably by sourcing ifortvars.sh), otherwise you'll have to specify it's full path. I think, Intel recommends using the the Fortran compiler for linking instead, and passing it the -cxxlib and -nofor_main flags (those are the correct names now, I looked them up ;-)).

I see, will maybe try some day. However, I have no problem linking for the moment.


On Mac platforms there is another problem: By default the g++ compiler generates 32-bit code, while the Intel Fortran compiler generates 64- bit code (very annoying).

If you try to use FortranCInterface.cmake, be aware that it is quite buggy, as it doesn't pass the CMAKE_*_FLAGS to the try_compile calls. Further it doesn't ensure that the C language is enabled, altough it is calling try_compile on C code! I'll file a bug report with an attached patch for that.


This is new to me. Sounds like automatic handling of calling decorations. Would be great! Are there any examples how to use it? Do I still need it when I know the mangling scheme myself? Can I set the pre/suffixes myself in some elegant manner? Currently I am just hacking on my own, so indications how to position myself for the future are very welcome.

Thanks,
Dominik

All the best

Here the report of my tests:

Just ignorant approach (don't google):

It works out of the box on linux with intel compilers 10.x. Just add Fortran to the languages in the project signature and add STUFF.F90 to the source files. You need to link to ifcore library though.

It does not work out of the box with the compilers 11.x. Here the ignorant approach failed. The errors were like:

-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/local/bin/icpc-11.0.083
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/local/bin/icpc-11.0.083 -- broken CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/ CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:25 (MESSAGE): The C++ compiler "/usr/local/bin/icpc-11.0.083" is not able to compile a
 simple test program.

 It fails with the following output:

  Change Dir: /home/domel/build/solve/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

Checking by foot what the compilers at all say during compilations I found:

icpc-11.0.083 -c test.cxx
Catastrophic error: could not set locale "" to allow processing of multibyte characters

Googling reveals a bug in the compiler to be circumvented with adding '-no-multibyte-chars' to the compiler switches. However, adding this to my CMAKE_XXX_FLAGS_RELEASE (my CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is RELEASE) does not help. I must now either specify CMAKE_XXX_FLAGS explicitly on the commandline or in the cache. Probably because cmake uses default flags (CMAKE_XXX_FLAGS) for compiler checks, even if CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is explicitly set release/debug (as well as corresponding release/debug flags).

Maybe cmake should use compiler flags as defined by CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to check for compilers?

Michael,
Many thanks for the feedback.
What I am doing with a GNU makefile so far is compile just one file with the fortran compiler use C++ linker to link all object files as usual. A comprehensive solution I would expect in cmake would be 1) nothing (.f90 file is understood) or something along the lines of setting the file properties (sort of 'to be compiler with' flag)...

I want to compile one file with fortran compiler (intel) and link with the rest of my project. Will the latest cmake allow to fully cmakify such scenario?
Hi Dominik

If I remember correctly, you'll have to set the LINK_LANGUAGE property of your target to Fortran and then ensure that the Fortran linker also links against the C++ standard library. For Intel this would be -stdc+ + (or some such). If you are creating an executable, depending on where your main-function is defined, you might also need to tell the linker to not add a Fortran main- function, the flag is called - nofor_main if I remember correctly. Otherwise the ifort man-page will tell you :)
