Ok this is proving to be a very difficult proposition...
MPI uses it's own wrappers for the compilers, so I might want to implement
something to that effect. It'll be difficult since mpicc is generated at
compile time. It is configured to the specific install.
mpicc -showme:compile
-I/usr/lib/openmpi/include -I/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi -pthread
mpicc -showme:link
-pthread -L/usr/lib/openmpi/lib -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl
-Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil -lm -ldl
See the TODO file for current tasks.
NOV 25, 1:03 it compiles!! hahah!
Now for the hard part... debugging and linking...
Things that I have learned during this project.
1: I am an idiot. As the folks on #d will attest.
2: .ptr is the shit.
3: profit.
When you are passing objects to other threads, MPI accepts void*, but actually
checks the type. So passing D strings is a no-go. at least from what I understand.
Also MPI does type checking behind the scenes... If you try to do something like
dynamic arrays, you will be bitch-slapped.
