Empty constructor compilation error with PGI 14.4

[guziy]

I know this is might not be an issue for fort or gfortran ( for sure not an issue - tested) but with 14.4 compiling tests fails:

$ make
s.f90 datetime_tests.f90 -g -O0  -o tests datetime.o

PGF90/x86-64 Linux 14.4-0: compilation aborted
make: *** [tests] Error 2

They say they fixed it in 14.7 (Have no idea if it is true).

[guziy]

Even when commented default constructor test I get this error:

$ make tests

Hi guziy,

Yes, this was fixed by Portland Group in version 14.7 a few months ago as per my request (Tim Hilton of UC Merced pointed this problem out to me). I haven't had chance to try this version though.

With 13.10-0 on my system, datetime.f90 compiles but the tests don't, with the same error that you get:

pgf90-Fatal-/share/opt/pgi/13.10/linux86-64/13.10/bin/pgf901 TERMINATED by signal 11

This is a signal for segmentation fault, and is likely to be compiler problem.

I will leave this issue open for future reference if somebody comes up with a newer PGF version.

[milancurcic]

Note that at that time (a few months ago), I modified all empty constructors (datetime(), timedelta()) within datetime.f90 to something like datetime(1) and timedelta(0), so that people with earlier versions of pgf90 (say 13.x, like me) can still compile it. Whether it will break at runtime or not (given strange behavior when compiling tests), I don't know, but I will try to find out.

@guziy Do you know if this problem still persists with the latest version of datetime_fortran?

[guziy]

Hi Milan:

I am trying to compile the module from github to answer your question, but
there is no makefile there...

autoconf is complaining, automake as well, do you have a description of how
to generate the make file, because I do not have much experience with these
scripts?

Cheers

You should be able to do the following after cloning a fresh copy, or pulling in the latest changes:

$ export FC=<PGI-compiler>
$ export FCFLAGS=<PGI-compiler-flags>
$ autoreconf -ivf
$ ./configure
$ make check

I'm not 100% certain that this will ensure that the correct compiler is used. Also, it looks like #37 needs to be merged before using FCFLAGS will work as expected. I may get to this today and try to test drive the PR and make some amendments, and then merge it, so you can pull the latest master to include these changes.... For now let me know if you have any luck with what I posted.

[guziy]

Thanks @zbeekman:

Here is what I get after autoreconf

$ autoreconf -ivf
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

[zbeekman]

EDIT: @guziy also, what OS/Distro are you on?

@guziy Do you have automake, autoconf and pkg-config installed? If so, which versions?

@blippy Any thoughts on @guziy's issues?

[guziy]

@zbeekman:

When using a newer automake (module add autoconf/2.69 automake/1.12.6 ), the error message is following:

$ autoreconf -ivf
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool

configure.ac:7: installing './missing'
Makefile.am:3: error: 'pkgconfig_DATA' is used but 'pkgconfigdir' is undefined
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

pkg-config version is

$ pkg-config --version
0.23

Cheers

[zbeekman]

@guziy I'm guessing this is due to outdated pkg-config. I think you need >= 0.27. Another tact you could take is downloading the latest release from the releases page which is packaged with a ./configure script. It may not correctly pick up FCFLAGS and try to pass some bad ones to pgf90 but it should get you further along. I think you can set export FC=pgf90 or whatever it is before running configure to use the PGI compiler. Might be worth a shot.

@blippy if this is true, is there a way to say that a certain version of pkg-config is required?

@zbeekman:

You've forgotten the "datetime-fortran" part in your link to the latest release...
I've tried it, but pgf90 does not like some flags

$ cd src/tests/ ; make
pgf90 -c -Wall -O0 -C -fbacktrace -I../lib datetime_tests.f90
pgf90-Error-Unknown switch: -Wall
pgf90-Error-Unknown switch: -fbacktrace
make: *** [datetime_tests.o] Error 1

@guziy , @zbeekman I have the same problem on my cubietruck, which is running Ubuntu LTS. A new LTS is due in less than 3 months time. Do you intend to upgrade?

We can go down two routes: either make pkg-config a requirement, or make it an optional extra. You won't get the benefits of pkg-config if it can't be included, of course, but at least it shouldn't fail. I think I'll opt for the latter, when I work out how it can be done.

If @milancurcic were to release a new version containing my recent patch (#37), you will be able to set both FC and FCFLAGS as required.

[blippy]

@guziy What OS + version are you using? My pkg-config is at version 0.26, and I'm using an LTS.

[milancurcic]

@guziy Until we merge @blippy's PR #37 (probably later today), try with his master branch which should be able to handle FCFLAGS.

@blippy:

I am on CentOS, where I cannot really install stuff... Thought to just test pgi, since I do not have it locally..

Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Release:    6.6
Codename:   Final

Cheers
