[Trilinos-Users] Teuchos LAPACK wrapper and ISO C++

[Thornquist, Heidi K]

Hi Dan,

The TREVC wrapper is wrong, the SELECT argument should be a logical array (int *) and instead is being passed a function pointer as if it was a logical external function for sorting.  If you replace "int (*ptr2func)(double*,double*)" with "int *" in the Teuchos_LAPACK_wrappers.hpp and Teuchos_LAPACK.hpp files this wrapper should work for you.  I will file a bug report against the wrapper and have it fixed by the next Trilinos 8.0 tarball release.

Thanks,
Heidi

Hi everyone,

We're having a bit of trouble with the Teuchos LAPACK wrappers.

We're looking to call the LAPACK function

void Teuchos::LAPACK< OrdinalType, ScalarType >::TREVC( ... )

where OrdinalType = int and ScalarType = double

the problem arises with the third argument to TREVC : OrdinalType(*)
(ScalarType *, ScalarType *) ptr2func
which we supply with "(int (*)(double*,double*))select"

where select has been initialized to be a vector of integers : int *
select

Thus we cast this pointer to an object (int * select) to a pointer to
a function (int(*)(double*,double*)). The problem is that this is not
allowed by ISO C++ (we're compiling with -Werror -pedantic), and this
throws an warning/error. Is there a way around this or an example
anyone could provide such that we can continue using strict warnings
on our compiled code?

The warning thrown by compilation is:
warning: ISO C++ forbids casting between pointer-to-function and
pointer-to-object

Cheers,

Dan
