#2557: support AMD AOCC compiler

Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: development version Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component:

AMD;'s new compiler currently is not supported in the ET since, the known-architecture file aborts if it cannot identify the compiler (even when CC and CFLAGS etc are all being provided).

See [http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2021-August/008157.html%5D(...)

AMD’s compiler suite has its own C compiler and Fortran compiler either forked off from the PGI compiler (old and current version) or flang (current and future version).

Right now it is unclear if it would offer a performance benefit over GNU or Intel compilers.
