Discussion

  • Mark Miller asks whether we can query name mangling in Fortran compilers
    • Actually an interesting ABI issue because compilers can support multiple underscoring schemes.
    • Spack should probably figure out and ensure consistency.
    • Currently can build an ABI-incompatible version of the same library and Spack won't know b/c it doesn't understand mangling.
  • Mark Miller asking about why Spack can't find manually installed packages in opt/spack
    • How could we support this?
    • Matt already implementing support for packages outside the spack build space, but installing into Spack's build space violates the rules. Essentially adding a foreign library to a managed area.
