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().
BLIS object API examples ------------------------ This directory contains several files, each containing various pieces of example code that demonstrate core functionality of the object API in BLIS. These example files should be thought of collectively like a tutorial, and therefore it is recommended to start from the beginning (the file that starts in '00'). You can build all of the examples by simply running 'make' from this directory. (You can also run 'make clean'.) The makefile assumes that you've already configured and built (but not necessarily installed) BLIS two directories up, in "../..". If you have already installed BLIS to some permanent directory, you may refer to that installation by setting the environment variable BLIS_INSTALL_PATH prior to running make: export BLIS_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local; make or by setting the same variable as part of the make command: make BLIS_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local Once the executable files have been built, we recommend reading the code in one terminal window alongside the executable output in another. This will help you see the effects of each section of code. This tutorial is not exhaustive or complete; several object API functions were omitted (mostly for brevity's sake) and thus more examples could be written. If you've found object functionality in BLIS and are unsure how to use it, or if you are unsure of what additional functionality is present in BLIS, please feel free to join and then start a discussion on the blis-devel mailing list [1].
