#2802: compilation faiulres in TwoPunctures_BBHSF and TwoPunctures_KerrProca with gcc14
Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: Type: bug Priority: major Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn
GCC14 remove implicit pointer casts and requires explicit casts for C in the same manner that C++ requires them.
[https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting%5C_to.html%5D(https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/...)
This affects TwoPunctures and thus all thorns that are derived from TwoPunctures. Typical compile failures are error messages such as:
``` COMPILING Proca/TwoPunctures_KerrProca/src/Newton.c /Users/rhaas/Cactus/configs/sim/build/TwoPunctures_KerrProca/Newton.c: In function 'TPKP_TestRelax': /Users/rhaas/Cactus/configs/sim/build/TwoPunctures_KerrProca/Newton.c:287:37: error: passing argument 6 of 'resid' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 287 | resid (res, ntotal, dv, F, ncols, cols, JFD); | ^~~~ | | | int ** ```
This is fixed for TwoPunctures in [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/einsteininitialdata/pull-requests/18%5...) but the patch used there does not cleanly apply to the derived codes (possibly due to some extra lines of code being present).
