To use VS C and Fotran in the same solution, it is required that VS be
able to find the Fortran run time libraries as they will be implicitly
linked by any Fortran library used by VS C programs. This adds a check
into CMakeDetermineCompilerABI using a try-compile to find the correct
PATH.
The Intel Fortran plugin for Visual Studio requires Fortran source files
to be compiled in a separate target from C and C++ code. Compile the
VerifyFortran.f source file in a separate library and link the main
VerifyFortanC executable to it.
The Cray Fortran compiler started using module init symbols in version 7.3.2.
Starting in commit 71287734 (Teach FortranC interface for Intel, PGI, and gcc
4.2, 2009-08-05) we provide C versions of the module init symbols so that the
detection executable can link when the C versions of the module-mangled symbols
are picked up.
If no C module-mangled symbol matches then we cannot let the C module init
symbol appear because it will be duplicated by the Fortran copy that provides
the module-mangled symbol. This was first handled for the PathScale compiler
in commit 21faaa5d (FortranCInterface: Fix PathScale detection, 2010-01-22) and
commit 46858720 (FortranCInterface: Fix PathScale detection again, 2010-02-16).
Handle it now for the Cray compiler too.
PathScale Fortran mangles module symbols as "MY_SUB.in.MY_MODULE" and
also requires "my_module_" when the module is imported. We cannot
provide the symbol with ".in." mangling so we should not provide
"my_module_" because it would duplicate the one in the Fortran-provided
object file.
Commit "FortranCInterface: Fix PathScale detection" (2010-01-22) already
made the same fix for the non-underscore module case.
PathScale Fortran mangles module symbols as "MYSUB.in.MYMODULE" and also
requires "mymodule_" when the module is imported. We cannot provide the
symbol with ".in." mangling so we should not provide "mymodule_" because
it would duplicate the one in the Fortran-provided object file.
The commit "FortranCInterface: Honor language flags in checks" taught
the FortranCInterface module to pass C and Fortran flags into its
detection and verification checks. We improve on the change to allow
the '=' character in the language flags. This requires passing the
cache entry type with the -D options.
We pass CMAKE_C_FLAGS, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, and CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS through
try_compile() for the FortranCInterface Detect and Verify projects.
This honors user-specified compiler flags for each language, thus
supporting flags that affect the Fortran mangling.
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
The verification program entry point (main) is defined in a C source
file, so the C compiler should be used to link when only Fortran and C
are involved. The C++ compiler should still be used when the CXX option
is enabled.
This function builds a simple test project using a combination of
Fortran and C (and optionally C++) to verify that the compilers are
compatible. The idea is to help projects report very early to users
that the compilers specified cannot mix languages.
We split the main detection logic into a Detect.cmake support module and
load it only when detection results are not already available. This
allows results computed by the main project to be used in try-compile
projects without recomputing them. The call to try_compile() need only
to pass FortranCInterface_BINARY_DIR through the CMAKE_FLAGS option.
This is a new FortranCInterface.cmake module to replace the previous
prototype. All module support files lie in a FortranCInterface
directory next to it.
This module uses a new approach to detect Fortran symbol mangling. We
build a single test project which defines symbols in a Fortran library
(one per object-file) and calls them from a Fortran executable. The
executable links to a C library which defines symbols encoding all known
manglings (one per object-file). The C library falls back to the
Fortran library for symbols it cannot provide. Therefore the executable
will always link, but prefers the C-implemented symbols when they match.
These symbols store string literals of the form INFO:symbol[<name>] so
we can parse them out of the executable.
This module also provides a simpler interface. It always detects the
mangling as soon as it is included. A single macro is provided to
generate mangling macros and optionally pre-mangled symbols.
