Even *I* don't attempt to support OS X that old.  :wink:

Re: [OMPI devel] Mac OS X 10.4.x users?

2018-09-28 Thread Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) via devel
Fun fact: we cause configure to fail for OS X <= 10.4 anyway:

https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/blob/master/configure.ac#L328-L347

According to the comment, we do this because of a known-bad implementation of 
pty in the OS X kernel that causes kernel panics.

So I think we're definitely safe removing a OS X 10.4.x workaround.

[OMPI devel] Mac OS X 10.4.x users?

2018-09-28 Thread Barrett, Brian via devel
All -

In trying to clean up some warnings, I noticed one (around pack/unpack in 
net/if.h) that is due to a workaround of a bug in MacOS X 10.4.x and earlier.  
The simple way to remove the warning would be to remove the workaround, which 
would break the next major version of Open MPI on 10.4.x and earlier on 64 bit 
systems.  10.5.x was released 11 years ago and didn’t drop support for any 64 
bit systems.  I posted a PR which removes support for 10.4.x and earlier 
(through the README) and removes the warning generated workaround 
(https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/5803).

Does anyone object to breaking 10.4.x and earlier?
