Hello All,
I’m getting these strange “warnings” (if you can even call them that), about
struct vector alignments all over the shop when compiling with link time
optimization enabled on summit. For reference this is with spectrum-mpi
wrapping gcc v10.2.0. Here are a few examples:
/autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/mat/impls/baij/seq/baij.c: In
function 'MatDuplicateNoCreate_SeqBAIJ':
/autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/mat/impls/baij/seq/baij.c:3250:21:
note: the layout of aggregates containing vectors with 8-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 5
3250 | c->bs2 = a->bs2;
| ^
autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/dm/dt/dualspace/impls/lagrange/dspacelagrange.c:
In function 'PetscDualSpaceSetUp_Lagrange':
/autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/dm/dt/dualspace/impls/lagrange/dspacelagrange.c:2291:15:
note: the layout of aggregates containing vectors with 8-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 5
2291 | sp->spdim = sp->spintdim = spdim;

/autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/mat/impls/sell/mpi/mpisell.c: In
function 'MatDuplicate_MPISELL':
/autofs/nccs-svm1_home1/jfaibussow/petsc/src/mat/impls/sell/mpi/mpisell.c:1232:27:
note: the layout of aggregates containing vectors with 8-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 5
1232 | a->size = oldmat->size;
| ^
There doesn’t seem to be anything the compiler wants you to do, which is
strange. It just tells you about it. Googling it has not yielded useful info
either. Is this our own buggy code at fault or just an internal compiler
logging so rare that they forgot to turn it off?
Best regards,
