Mashy Green requested to merge meshing/nektar:fix/camke-thread_safety into master Apr 18, 2023

Issue/feature addressed

Boost thread safety has to be enabled for the variational optimisation module in NekMesh to work, otherwise it causes a segmentation fault when executed in parallel. Currently, this has to be enabled manually and requires recompiling in case one forgets.

Proposed solution

Enable boost thread safety whenever MeshGen is enabled as the variational framework module (one of the central components of NekMesh) cannot be used without it.

Implementation

CMake changed to set NEKTAR_USE_THREAD_SAFETY to ON when MeshGen is set to ON.

Tests

Suggested reviewers

Anyone! This is very simple.
