Error compiling OpenFoam 1.6.x with intel compiler icc
 

I have checked out the latest version from the repository "OpenFoam 1.6.x"

And I get the following error compiling it with icc (11.0):

derivedFvPatchFields/turbulentHeatFluxTemperature/turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.C(4 5): error: member "Foam::NamedEnum<Enum, nEnum>::names [with Enum=Foam::compressible::turbulentHeatFluxTemperat ureFvPatchScalarField::heatSourceType, nEnum=2]" cannot be specialized in the current scope
names[] =
^

The is in the file:
src/turbulenceModels/compressible/RAS/derivedFvPatchFields/turbulentHeatFluxTemperature/turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.C

g++ does not give this error. It seems that the partially specialized template in this file is not allowed by icc while gcc seems to be ignoring it.

icc version: 11.0

Any idea what can be done?

Thanks,

Greetings Mak,

I knew I saw something recently about icc... According to this post, OpenFOAM 1.6.x is prepared to work with icc 11.1. Prior to that version, it doesn't work all that well.

I personally have very little experience with icc, but my advice is to get the latest free version of icc for Linux, and compare the two versions. Or read the release notes for the latest version and see what's the difference!

In case you had already seen that post, you could have let us know ;)

Best regards,
Bruno

I have the same problem. I think this link describes the problem and some solutions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1470654

I followed the instructions in this link and now it compiles fine with icc/icpc

1) comment out the template specialization at the top of the file:

/*
template<>
const char*
NamedEnum<turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScala rField::heatSourceType, 2>::
names[] =
{
"power",
"flux"
};
*/

2) add the following to the bottom of the file (outside the namespaces!):

template<>
const char*
Foam::NamedEnum<Foam::compressible::turbulentHeatF luxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField::heatSourceType, 2>::
names[] =
{
"power",
"flux"
};

Please, could you fix the blank space in the word F lux?

Foam::NamedEnum<Foam::compressible::turbulentHeatF lux

Thanks, now it works for me.

I tried to follow this way, but my compilation fails:
