Just a few comments:
- Intel/GCC compatibility
- According to the Intel C/C++ compiler release notes [1], v19.0
(all update levels) supports GCC versions 4.3 to 8.x [2],
although this does not necessarily mean that 9.x won't work.
v19.1 (aka. PSXE 2020) supports GCC versions 4.4 to 9.2 [3].
- Clang toolchains
- When talking to some LLVM devs at SC'19, the expectation was
that f19 (the "new flang") will not be really usable before
the end of this year.
- We still may want to look into supporting the "old flang" as
a compiler and in conjunction with Clang as a toolchain -- if
not the open-source version then maybe to support the commercial
compilers sitting on top of Clang/flang (ARM, AMD AOCC).
- In this context, let me point out again that we need to consider
how to structure all this in a hierarchical MNS context, such
that other software (e.g., Doxygen, Score-P) can make use of the
Clang libraries. This may involve something like a ClangCore
with moduleclass "lib" that provides LLVM/Clang on the GCCcore
level, and a Clang bundle (similar to GCC) with moduleclass
"compiler" combining Clang/Flang/binutils. Note that all ECs
currently using LLVM as a dependency should then use the new
ClangCore (or however we name it).
Cheers,
Markus
