Details:
- Commented out redundant setting of LIBBLIS_LINK within all driver-
level Makefiles. This variable is already set within common.mk, and
so the only time it should be overridden is if the user wants to link
to a different copy of libblis.
- Very minor changes to build/gen-make-frags/gen-make-frag.sh.
- Whitespace and inconsequential quoting change to configure.
- Moved top-level 'windows' directory into a new 'attic' directory.
Details:
- Removed explicit reference to The University of Texas at Austin in the
third clause of the license comment blocks of all relevant files and
replaced it with a more all-encompassing "copyright holder(s)".
- Removed duplicate words ("derived") from a few kernels' license
comment blocks.
- Homogenized license comment block in kernels/zen/3/bli_gemm_small.c
with format of all other comment blocks.
Details:
- Tweaked the cflags functions in common.mk so that a new preprocessor
macro, BLIS_IS_BUILDING_LIBRARY, is defined, but only when BLIS
itself is being built. This macro will not be defined when, for
example, the testsuite or example code compiles code local to those
applications. This was done in part by defining a new cflags function
get-user-cflags-for(), which is now the designated function for
application Makefiles if they wish to inherit a basic set of CFLAGS
from BLIS. (The compiler flags returned are identical to that of
get-frame-cflags-for() except that -DBLIS_IS_BUILDING_LIBRARY is
omitted.)
- Updated all test driver-like makefiles to call get-user-cflags-for()
instead of get-frame-cflags-for().
Details:
- Removed four trailing spaces after "BLIS" that occurs in most files'
commented-out license headers.
- Added UT copyright lines to some files. (These files previously had
only AMD copyright lines but were contributed to by both UT and AMD.)
- In some files' copyright lines, expanded 'The University of Texas' to
'The University of Texas at Austin'.
- Fixed various typos/misspellings in some license headers.
Details:
- Updated the build system so that "lesser" Makefiles, such as those in
belonging to example code or the testsuite, may be run even if the
directory is orphaned from the original build tree. This allows a
user to configure, compile, and install BLIS, delete the build tree
(that is, the source distribution, or the build directory for out-
of-tree builds) and then compile example or testsuite code and link
against the installed copy of BLIS (provided the example or testsuite
directory was preserved or obtained from another source). The only
requirement is that make be invoked while setting the
BLIS_INSTALL_PATH variable to the same installation prefix used when
BLIS was configured. The easiest syntax is:
make BLIS_INSTALL_PATH=/install/prefix
though it's also permissible to set BLIS_INSTALL_PATH as an
environment variable prior to running 'make'.
- Updated all lesser Makefiles to implement the new aforementioned build
behavior.
- Relocated check-blastest.sh and check-blistest.sh from build to
blastest and testsuite, respectively, so that if those directories are
copied elsewhere the user can still run 'make check' locally.
- Updated docs/Testsuite.md with language that mentions this new option
of building/linking against an installed copy of BLIS.
Details:
- Converted most C preprocessor macros in bli_param_macro_defs.h and
bli_obj_macro_defs.h to static functions.
- Reshuffled some functions/macros to bli_misc_macro_defs.h and also
between bli_param_macro_defs.h and bli_obj_macro_defs.h.
- Changed obj_t-initializing macros in bli_type_defs.h to static
functions.
- Removed some old references to BLIS_TWO and BLIS_MINUS_TWO from
bli_constants.h.
- Whitespace changes in select files (four spaces to single tab).
Details:
- Updated copyright headers to include "at Austin" in the name of the
University of Texas.
- Updated the copyright years of a few headers to 2014 (from 2011 and
2012).
