Compilation error when trying to use Ariel element library with SST/macro

[jesunsahariar]

New Issue for sst-macro

Hi,

I am trying to compile SST/macro with SST-core as the PDES and the Ariel SST element.

1 - Detailed description of problem or enhancement:

I am encountering the following error when I tried to compile SST/macro. Would greatly appreciate any help regarding how to resolve this error. Please let me know if I provide any additional information. Thanks in advance!

$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-core/install/include/sst/core/params.h:556:12: note: declared here
     Params find_scoped_params(const std::string& scope, const char* delims = ".:") const __attribute__ ((deprecated("Params::find_scoped_params() is deprecated and will be removed in SST 12. Please use the new Params::get_scoped_params() function.  As of SST 12, only a \".\" will be allowed as a scoping delimiter.")));
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  CXX      node/simple_node.lo

          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

2 - Describe how to reproduce

I attempted to compile sst/macro in the following way:

git clone git@github.com:sstsimulator/sst-macro.git
cd sst-macro
git log
commit ab914358c050e3ad37abc6099d6673fb79b1c524 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

mkdir build
cd build
mkdir install

../configure CXX=mpicxx CC=mpicc --prefix=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-macro/build/install --with-sst-core=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-core/install --with-python=/share/apps/python/anaconda3-2020.02/bin/python3-config --with-sst-elements=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-elements/install

make GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 VERBOSE=1

For compiling sst-core I used the following configuration command:

./configure CXX=mpicxx CC=mpicc --prefix=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-core/install --with-python=/share/apps/python/anaconda3-2020.02/bin/python3-config

For compiling sst-element with Ariel, I used the following configuration command (with Intel PIN tool version 3.13):

./configure --prefix=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-elements/install --with-sst-core=$HOME/sst_core_element/sst-core/install --with-pin=$HOME/sst_core_element/pin-3.13-98189-g60a6ef199-gcc-linux --with-python=/share/apps/python/anaconda3-2020.02/bin/python3-config

All the test cases in sst-element for Ariel passed successfully before I proceeded to compiling sst-macro with sst-core and sst-element with Ariel.

Ariel support in sst-macro is a work in progress and isn't actively being worked on at the moment (lots of changes on the project lately). Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you Joe for the feedback!

2023 and this is still an issue. Is there a way to disable SST Macro from trying to find/use ariel from elements? Or is the only solution to rebuild elements without ariel?

Just don't build sst-macro with the --with-sst-elements configure flag. The elements integration never went very far and hasn't been maintained or tested. The configure option will be removed shortly to avoid further confusion.

awesome, thanks. Yeah the removal of the option will be a big help; its inclusion can potentially imply that you need elements for macro to work. Also might be helpful, on the next revision of the documentation, to just do a Note: regarding sst-elements not being a dependency of sst macro (maybe in Chapter 2: Building and Running SST/macro)
