Supported Compilers

For the serial code, the following compilers are fully supported:

Compiler	Versions	Flags	Date Tested	Notes
GCC, g++	3.4, 4.0, 4.2	-ansi -pedantic -Wall	July 11, 2006
IBM XL, xlC	September 2004		July 11, 2006	Only supported for cpt.
Intel, icc	8.0	-strict_ansi	July 11, 2006	Lots of warnings and remarks.
PathScale, pathCC	2.3	-ansi	July 11, 2006
PGI, pgCC	6.1		July 11, 2006	Except ads::TranformIterator.

Note that above I only indicate the warning flags, not the optimization flags.

For the serial code, the following compilers are partially supported:

The IBM compiler does not correctly implement some template arithmetic. For example, the following program will not compile.

template<int N, int M>
class A {};

template<int N, int M>
void
f(A<N,M> a, A<N, M-1> b) {}

int
main() {
  A<2,2> a;
  A<2,1> b;
  f(a, b);

  return 0;
}

template<int N, int M, int M_1>
void
f(A<N,M> a, A<N, M_1> b) {
  LOKI_STATIC_CHECK(M - 1 == M_1, BadTemplateParameterValues);
}
