Greetings,
I'm trying to build the Salomé engineering simulation tool, and am
having trouble compiling with OpenMPI. The full text of the error is at
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/salome-error . The crux of the problem can
be reproduced by trying to compile a C++ file with:
extern "C"
{
#include "mpi.h"
}
At the end of mpi.h, the C++ headers get loaded while in extern C mode,
and the result is a vast list of errors.
It seems odd that one of the cplusplus variables is #defined while in
extern C mode, but that's what seems to be happening.
I see that it should be possible (and verified that it is possible) to
avoid this by using -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX. But something in me says that
shouldn't be necessary, that extern C code should only include C headers
and not C++ ones...
This is using Debian lenny (testing) with gcc 4.2.1-6.
Thanks,
-Adam
