thorn vectors fails if vectorization is disabled

Issue #2078 closed
Roland Haas created an issue

At least in one case (gcc 7.2) thorn Vectors seems to fail with a message that overloading is not allowed in line 671 of vectors.h

 explicit constexpr vectype(scalar_t const &a) : v(props::set1(a)) {}

if vectorization is disabled (VECTORISE=no). My guess would be that in this case scalar_t and vector_t are the same and a conflict exists (or some other assumption is violated).

I'll provide more details once I have a a nicer testcase.

    I cannot repeat this on MacOS with gcc 7.2.0.

    Without vectorization, the types "scalar_t" and "vector_t" are indeed the same. However, "vectype" is a different type -- it is a C++ class wrapping "vector_t", and providing a more modern interface.

    Can you post the full error message?

    Ok, got a test case:

    diff --git a/Vectors/src/vectors.cc b/Vectors/src/vectors.cc
    index a2725d3..ffbf9b2 100644
    --- a/Vectors/src/vectors.cc
    +++ b/Vectors/src/vectors.cc
    @@ -7,5 +7,8 @@
     extern "C" int Vectors_Startup(void) {
       CCTK_VInfo(CCTK_THORNSTRING, "Using vector size %d for architecture %s",
                  CCTK_REAL_VEC_SIZE, vec_architecture);
    +
    +  CCTK_REAL myscal = 42.;
    +  vectype<CCTK_REAL> myvec(myscal);
       return 0;
     }
    

    which fails with:

    I attach a tarball of the modified Vectors thorn as well as config-info.
