Summary0002802: Compilation error scotchDecomp.C -- OpenFOAM-dev
DescriptionI'm compiling OpenFOAM-dev following the instructions at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-dev/Fedora

When running the command "./Allwmake -j4 > log.make 2>&1" I'm getting a compilation error on scotchDecomp.C as reproduced in the file log.make copied below in Section Additonal Information.

How can I fix this error?

I am not able to reproduce this problem, I believe it has been reported before and fixed. How recent is your ThirdParty-dev repository? Have you pulled the latest?

The OpenFOAM-dev and ThirdParty-dev repositories were downloaded on 20 December 2017.

I think that the error "cannot convert ‘Foam::UList<long int>::iterator {aka long int*}’ to ‘SCOTCH_Num* {aka int*}" might have to do with the const correctness feature of the C++ programming language. Also, the code segment tries to convert "long int" into "int". Maybe there should be a compiler option that defines both "long int" and "int" as 8 byte integers....?

I am compiling with

icpc (ICC) 17.0.4 20170411

64bit with 64bit labels and there are no problems.

The gcc version used to compile scotch is

gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.2.1 20171020 [gcc-7-branch revision 253932]

This is the version of my compiler under Linux Fedora 27:

[dahoe@localhost ~]$ cc --version
cc (GCC) 7.2.1 20170915 (Red Hat 7.2.1-2)

[dahoe@localhost ~]$ g++ --version

Meanwhile I've recompiled everything with 32-bit labels instead of 64-bit labels. And everything compiled perfectly. See attached file "log.make"
log-2.make (13,281 bytes)

I cannot reproduce this problem with any of the compilers I have.

I will continue with 32-bit labels instead of 64-bit labels. Because then everything compiles perfectly.

The errors with 64-bit labels are probably caused by the integer conversion rules under the C11 standard as described at https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT02-C.+Understand+integer+conversion+rules

At https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/148644-build-install-openfoam-dev-64-bits.html I saw that the error can be bypassed with:

   ./Allwmake -k

I do not see the problem with 64-bit labels with the same compiler that you are using with the standard compiler option. It is not clear why the handling of the C11 stardard would be different for you.
