Claw Compiler Versions Save

• User comment line can be preserved with the --keep-comment option.
• SCA: Fix duplicated array references inserted in some cases.
• OMNI Compiler to git hash omni-compiler/xcodml-tools@2b72cd9fc9c6133bf9f806d3b7fc5a369265d605
• OMNI Compiler submodule now pointing to XcodeML-tools omni-compiler/xcodeml-tools
• Various bug fixes

[1.0.1] - 2018-04-17

• Support of Intel Compiler preprocessing workflow.
• Clean up properly temporary files when driver exits.
• SCA/CPU: Fix problem with indirect promotion (missing do stmt).
• Move test from abstraction to sca folder.
• OMNI Compiler to git hash omni-compiler/omni-compiler@f59978d90cc1d93cf16de125e8dd35ae1d2a6537.

New features:

• Option --target=<target> or -t=<target> allows to choose the target for code transformation.
• Option --directive=<directive_language> or -d=<directive_language> allows to choose the accelerator directive language used for code generation.
• Transformation order is now configurable with the option --config=. A default configuration file is available in <INSTALL_DIR>/etc/claw-default.xml.
• New configuration files with user extension.
• OpenACC local arrays strategy private or promote available from configuration.

New available transformations:

• Low-level:
  • array-transform
  • kcache
  • call
  • loop-hoist
  • if-extract
  • verbatim
  • ignore
• High abstraction (beta):
  • Single Column Abstraction
    • parallelize
    • parallelize forward

Modification:

• collapse clause can be applied to loop-fusion transformation.
• Group configuration must now specify trigger type (translation_unit, directive)

Technical/Architecture change:

• All Java libraries now compiled with Ant.
• Execution of JUnit test cases is driven by Ant.
• Program arguments of claw.ClawX2T is now using Common CLI.
• Preprocessor specific configurations are now stored in compiler/<compiler_id>.cmake files.
• Some transformations are implemented directly into the driver as they have to be performed before the parsing step.
• The full workflow is now pipelined. Only in debug mode, intermediate files are written to disk.
• CLAW X2T libraries are split in 3 distinct ones. For more information, refer to the developer's guide.

General:

• OMNI Compiler submodule points to the official OMNI Compiler repository. The state of the repository is updated only when the latest changes are tested and validated.

Offline release (pack all dependencies in a single archive).

This release is the first release of the CLAW Compiler. It implements the v0.1.0 of the CLAW language specifications which includes the followings transformations:
