There are some of you who are running some functlets to get the compiler
version that redirect stderr to stdout, something like this:
&shell("icc -v 2>&1 | awk '{ print \$2 }'")
Unfortunately, there's a bug in the MTT client that will barf on the fact
that there's a "&" in the middle of the argument, and it won't recognize
&shell(...) as a functlet. I can fix this bug, but it's going to take a
while (the perl implications of this on the parser kinda suck :-\ ), and
I've unfortunately got some higher-priority things that I need to do first.
For the time being, can you examine your INI files and see if you have any
"&" in your &shell() functlets, and if so, replace them with something else?
If you really need to grab stderr, you may well need to have another script
do this, such as:
&shell("get_icc_version")
And have a "get"icc_version" script that does the stderr redirection.
I apologize for this; you shouldn't need to do this, but I just don't have
the cycles at the moment to fix this in the MTT client. Stay tuned to MTT
ticket #85 for updates (http://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/mtt/ticket/85).
Thanks!
