Verifying Fortran/C Compiler Fails

Usage

Hi all, FortranCInterface_VERIFY isn’t working on my Mac after an OS and compiler updates.

I’m running on macOS 11 with gcc-10 from Homebrew and cmake 18. I’m getting these errors in stdout (let me know if you want to see more)

-- Detecting Fortran/C Interface

  The Fortran compiler:

  and the C compiler:

  failed to compile a simple test project using both languages.  The output
  was:

****** A BUNCH OF STUFF ****

    ld: warning: ignoring file libVerifyFortran.a, building for macOS-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-x86_64

    ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

And I did some detective work and I found that the name mangling was indeed wrong:

$ nm CMakeFiles/FortranCInterface/VerifyC/libVerifyFortran.a
VerifyFortran.f.o:
00000000000000d0 r EH_frame1
                 U __gfortran_st_write

$ nm CMakeFiles/FortranCInterface/VerifyC/CMakeFiles/VerifyFortranC.dir/main.c.o
0000000000000018 r EH_frame1
                 U _VerifyC
                 U _VerifyFortran
0000000000000000 T _main

$ cat ./CMakeFiles/FortranCInterface/VerifyC/VerifyFortran.h
#ifndef FortranCInterface_HEADER_INCLUDED
#define FortranCInterface_HEADER_INCLUDED

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Mangle some symbols automatically.                                       */

#endif

Again, let me know if you need more log output.

Right now, I’m thinking this would succeed if the name-manging macros were actually set in VerifyFortran.h. Based on CMake’s messages and looking at the generated VerifyFortran.h, it looks the macros weren’t discovered.

Please open an issue for that over in our issue tracker. Attach to the issue a tarball of the CMakeFiles/ directory from the top of a build tree from a tiny test project that reproduces the problem.

I see CMake Issue 21454, thanks!

My pleasure, thanks for the help
