Hi Andy,

Thanks for the useful info. You are exactly right - the problem is caused by 
C/Fortran mangling of the names. In the Fortran code, underbar trailing is not 
there for all catalyst-related function calls, those underbar trailing to the 
function names as shown in the linking errors are automatically added by 
C/Fortran mangling in the final linking stage. I also pulled in the Fortran 
example in the github repo, and got the similar undefined reference errors in 
the final linking stage when linking to the ParaView 4.0 built with superbuild. 
So the linking problem seems to be generic to Fortran code linking to Catalyst.

I checked the Catalyst static lib built with superbuild and found the lib only 
includes function symbols without the trailing underbar such as 
coprocessorinitialize, which explains why those undefined reference errors 
result. I also tried to build ParaView 3.98 with superbuild which included 
FortranAdaptor lib, and found the FortranAdatpor lib built with superbuild does 
not include the trailing underbar for coprocessor-related functions, while the 
FortranAdaptor lib built from source does include the trailing underbar, which 
explains why I can link our simulation code to Catalyst 3.98 built from source, 
but cannot successfully link to Catalyst 3.98 built with superbuild. So here is 
my question:

Should Catalyst libs built with superbuild contain those coprocessing function 
symbols with trailing underbar in addition to those corresponding function 
symbols without trailing underbar? Specifically, for example, I am wondering 
whether both coprocessorinitialize and coprocessorinitialize_ need to present 
so these coprocessing functions can be called from different languages 
including Fortran? Could you confirm whether this is the case? If so, I need to 
check my superbuild to see why those trailing underbar functions are not 
created in the Catalyst libs. Let me know if you, David, or anybody else can 
confirm whether this is the case, or offer any ideas/suggestions.

Thanks,

Hong

to simulation code on Titan

Hi Hong,

I think it's the Fortran mangling of the names. Try taking out the underscore 
on the Fortran subroutine calls. Let me know if that doesn't help. Otherwise it 
may be an issue with how C/Fortran mangles things. The GCC behavior should be 
the following:
Fortran -> call xyz()
C -> void xyz_() {...}.
All of these methods should be available in the vtkPVCatalyst module. If you 
can't get it to work, try to see what you can do with the Fortran example in 
the github repo.

Regards,
And

When linking our simulation code (a variant of phasta) to Catalyst in ParaView 
version 4.0.1 built on Titan with superbuild, I got the following linking 
errors:

/usr/bin/ld: link errors found, deleting executable `../../bin/phastaIC.exe'
-----------------

I use CMake to link Catalyst to our simulation code. I was able to resolve 
those linking errors when linking to ParaView version 3.98.1 by adding 
"find_package(ParaView 3.98 REQUIRED COMPONENTS FortranAdaptor)" in addition to 
find_package for vtkCoProcessorImplementation and then link both to the final 
executable. However, for ParaView version 4.0.1, it seems FortranAdaptor does 
not exist any more which defines those functions such as coprocessorinitialize, 
etc. Here is the corresponding excerpt in my CMakeLists.txt related to linking 
Catalyst in ParaView version 4.0.1:
-------------------
if(USE_CATALYST)
       find_package(ParaView 3.98 REQUIRED COMPONENTS vtkPVPythonCatalyst)
        find_library(PHASTA_ADAPTOR_LIB PhastaAdaptorLib)
        include("${PARAVIEW_USE_FILE}")
        set(Adaptor_SRCS phastaadaptor.f)
        add_library(Adaptor ${Adaptor_SRCS})
        target_link_libraries(Adaptor ${PHASTA_ADAPTOR_LIB} vtkPVPythonCatalyst)
        add_definitions("-DUSE_CATALYST")
endif()
-------------------

Adaptor is then linked to the final executable.

Please let me know if you have ideas on what I should do to resolve those 
linking errors.

Many thanks,

Hong
