Support for Intel oneAPI missing

[MarDiehl]

I'm reposting the issue from bfgroup/b2#413 here because the lack of response.

Environment and version details

• Operating System+version: Arch Linux
• Compiler+version: Intel oneAPI 2024.2.1
• Shell: zsh
• B2 Version: B2 5.2.1 (OS=LINUX, jobs=8)
• B2 Configuration: Output of b2 --debug-configuration in your project.
  not added because it uses gcc.

Brief problem description

Options defined in https://github.com/bfgroup/b2/blob/3c0f5630157c3db1025b54c2f6da25cf234b8e20/src/tools/intel-linux.jam are incompatible with LLVM-based Intel compilers:

• -ip is not supported anymore
  • https://github.com/bfgroup/b2/blob/3c0f5630157c3db1025b54c2f6da25cf234b8e20/src/tools/intel-linux.jam#L216
• -use-pch should be -include-pch or -pch-use
  • https://github.com/bfgroup/b2/blob/3c0f5630157c3db1025b54c2f6da25cf234b8e20/src/tools/intel-linux.jam#L262

• pch-create should be -Xclang -emit-pch -o (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/building-boost-with-oneapi.html)
  • https://github.com/bfgroup/b2/blob/3c0f5630157c3db1025b54c2f6da25cf234b8e20/src/tools/intel-linux.jam#L293

• the Fortran compiler is called ifx, not ifort
  • https://github.com/bfgroup/b2/blob/3c0f5630157c3db1025b54c2f6da25cf234b8e20/src/tools/intel-linux.jam#L298

Steps to reproduce the issue

Install Boost with

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/tmp/boost
./b2 install --without-python --without-graph_parallel --without-mpi cxxstd=17  toolset=intel-linux  link=shared address-model=64 architecture=x86 runtime-link=shared

Actual behavior summary

The compiler gives warnings and errors and installation of a few files fails.
A few example errors are shown

intel-linux.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/log/build/intel-linux-linux/release/x86_64/cxxstd-17-iso/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/trivial.o
icpx: command line warning #10430: Unsupported command line options encountered
These options as listed are not supported.
For more information, use '-qnextgen-diag'.

Expected behavior summary

b2 should support the most recent Intel C++ compiler (icpx)

-ip is not supported anymore
-use-pch should be -include-pch or -pch-use
pch-create should be -Xclang -emit-pch -o

These have been fixed in spack (patch). I've been meaning to push them upstream, but I guess now is a good time. I can submit a PR here, unless you're working on one.

the Fortran compiler is called ifx, not ifort

Huh. I don't know why that hasn't been encountered in spack builds. As of 4e62a3e , the ony Fortran file I can find is ./numeric/odeint/performance/fortran_lorenz.f90. Clearly, it's needed. I'll add that to my TODO for spack.
