FYI, C99 has been required since late 2012. Going through the commits there is no way Open MPI could possibly compile with —std=c89 or —std=gnu99. Older compilers require we add —std=c99 so we can not remove the configure check.
commit aebd1ea43237741bd29878604b742b14cc87d68b Author: Nathan Hjelm <hje...@lanl.gov> Date: Wed Nov 14 04:52:39 2012 +0000 Per discussion we will now require a C99 compiant compiler. This change will enable the use of C99 features in Open MPI; subobject naming, restricted pointers, etc. cmr:v1.7 This commit was SVN r27604. -Nathan > On Aug 29, 2016, at 8:18 AM, Gilles Gouaillardet > <gilles.gouaillar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks Brice ! > > On Monday, August 29, 2016, Brice Goglin <brice.gog...@inria.fr> wrote: > s/June 2016/June 2006/ :) > > Anyway, it ended on July 31st based on https://www.suse.com/lifecycle/ > > Brice > > > > Le 29/08/2016 16:03, Gilles Gouaillardet a écrit : >> According to wikipedia, SLES 10 was released on June 2016, and is supported >> for 10 years. >> (SLES 12 is supported for 13 years, and I honestly do not know whether SLES >> 10 support has been extended) >> so SLES 10 might already been EOL >> >> Cheers, >> >> Gilles >> >> On Monday, August 29, 2016, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> >> wrote: >> The patches for master/v2.x will be considerably larger (we have embraced at >> least a few of the C99 constructs quite a bit). >> >> When is the EOL for SLES 10? >> >> Can you provide the doc links and an example of the link error that these >> patches are fixing? >> >> >> >> > On Aug 29, 2016, at 1:04 AM, C Bergström <cbergst...@pathscale.com> wrote: >> > >> > On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 12:59 PM, Gilles Gouaillardet <gil...@rist.or.jp> >> > wrote: >> >> Christopher, >> >> >> >> >> >> i made PR #1345 https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/pull/1345 >> >> >> >> (there is no copyright in these files, let me know how i should credit >> >> pathscale (if you want that of course) >> > >> > I'm not sure that there is anything substantial enough to be >> > copyright.
