All,
This is both a question and a feature request.
First the question. What is the "correct" way for Intel MPI to support use of GCC 9? I know (as of Intel MPI 19.0.2, the latest I have access to) that it has support for GCC 4-8. I also know there is a binding kit for Intel MPI that could make bindings for Intel MPI with GCC 9. But, as far as I can tell, the mpif90/mpifc scripts have no idea GCC 9 exists. Does one need to actually edit these scripts to add a 9) case so that the scripts can find the appropriate include/ directories?
Second, the "feature request" but I'm not sure where one makes those. Namely, I was wondering if it's possible for Intel to add support for use mpi_f08 with GCC compilers. At the moment, the included bindings (and the kit) only have the F90 modules and not the F08 modules. I can see not supporting them with really old GCC, but I'm fairly certain I've built Open MPI with GCC 8 and it makes the mpi_f08 mod files just fine. I tried looking at the binding kit, but it only compiles the f90 modules as well it seems.
Thanks,
Matt
