CopyAndPatch.jl

Preparing stencils

Prerequisites for stencil generation

• clang: compiler
• llvm-readobj: exe
• libffi: library and headers
• llvm-mc: exe (for code_native implementation)
• llvm-objdump: exe (optional for debugging stencils)
• julia: exe, library and headers; need a local build of this branch which implements exec option for mmap

LLVM dependencies should be from LLVM 17+. You can download prebuild binaries from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-17.0.6

Using prebuild binaries can cause warnings like clang: /lib64/libtinfo.so.6: no version information available (required by clang) These have not been of harm yet to my tests.

Compile stencils and helpers:

$ cd stencils
$ source setup.sh # need to update this to your local installation
$ make

Test:

$ julia --project=CopyAndPatch
julia> include("test/runtests.jl")
