[upc-users] incompatible cupc/cupc2c and MXM conduit in 2.26.0?

[Craig Reese]

Can someone please correct my expectations?

I'm trying to build 2.26.0 on a cluster with the MXM conduit (gcc/6.4.0,
clang-upc 3.9.1 if that matters)

I want to make available (or so it has been requested) having gupc,
cupc, cupc2c.

The problem is that the multiconfs for cupc/cupc2c explicitly disable
pthreads,

but MXM _requires_ pthreads.  Do this really mean that cupc/cupc2c is
fundamentally

incompatible with an MXM conduit?

I'm relatively new to the guts and building of bupc/gasnet so I want to
make sure before I give up.

Craig,

Thank you reporting the problem rather than giving up.

I believe you have found a bug in the multiconf logic for clang-upc.

I can reproduce a portion of your problem, but not all of it.

Specifically I can confirm that the multiconf logic is preventing builds of cupc+mxm.

However, I do not encounter any problem with cupc2c+mxm.

There appears to be a mistake in the multiconf logic, which should only be disabling support for pthreads-as-UPC-threads but instead has disabled libpthread entirely.

I suspect the patch below should be sufficient to resolve your problem.

If you rather use an editor, just replace the instances of "--disable-pthreads" with "--disable-par" in the .multiconf.in files.

Please let us know if these changes work for you.
