[petsc-dev] PETSc-Cuda with gfortran 4.7

[Nystrom, William D]

Asmund,

Do the failures you report below occur in cuda code that is ultimately compiled with nvcc?
I have not had problems compiling petsc-dev with cuda support on a Fedora 17 system
which uses gcc-4.7.2 and gfortran-4.7.2.  However, I have gcc 4.6.3 installed also and
have nvcc pointed at it by using the /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc.profile with a couple of lines
added.  So, when I build petsc-dev on my Fedora 17 system, it uses gcc-4.7.2 and
gfortran-4.7.2 for everything except cuda code located in .cu files.  I would worry about
removing some functionality in 4.7.2 with your suggested modification.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Karli,

I don't think this interferes with anything else, since all it does is
undef some C++ stuff which conflicts with CUDA, and was introduced in
gcc 4.7. That is, the things it undefines are also undefined when one
uses gcc 4.6 or lower. It is general for gcc >= 4.7.

Best regards,
\AA smund
