Description

As reported by Ake Sandgren:

Found a problem in gromacs 4.6.1

The ffopen/ffclose functions used clashes with functions that already
exist in some compiler libraries and also with the already existing
ffopen/ffclose function
(https://fs.hlrs.de/projects/craydoc/docs/man/ffiom/72/cat3/ffopen.3c.html)

I temporarily renamed them here.

Rename ffopen and ffclose to gmx_ff*.

There are name clashes with e.g. PathScale compiler.

Fixes #1250.

History

#1 Updated by Mark Abraham over 4 years ago

I expect we can make this go away during the transition to 5.0, but I think we will leave 4.6.x alone.

#2 Updated by Szilárd Páll over 4 years ago

Which are the compilers clashes are observed with?

#3 Updated by Rossen Apostolov over 4 years ago

It's pathscale

#4 Updated by Szilárd Páll over 4 years ago

Last time I checked Pathscale mis-compiled the SIMD kernels so unless all regressiontest pass, ATM it is not even worth considering a fix.

  • Tracker changed from Bug to Task
  • Assignee changed from Berk Hess to Mark Abraham
  • Priority changed from Normal to Low
  • Target version set to 5.x

While refactoring, consider avoiding these names to work around compilers that are too broken to support an unpolluted C namespace.

#6 Updated by Rossen Apostolov over 3 years ago

shall we rename those for 5.0?

#7 Updated by Mark Abraham over 3 years ago

Yeah sed to gmx_ff* seems straight forward.

#8 Updated by Rossen Apostolov over 3 years ago

ok, I'll fix it then.
