MFC seems to rebuild all targets on run even if they're already been built via build

[sbryngelson]

MFC rebuilds all targets on ./mfc.sh run even if they've already been built via ./mfc.sh build. Seems to be triggered via a GLOB MISMATCH though I haven't investigated why this occurs. Even occurs if one immediately runs after a build. One option is to avoid build altogether though this is obviously not a very attractive idea.

It even partially rebuilds some dependencies like FFTW/HDF5.

Example snippet:

[I]br011: bryngel-startup-proj/MFC $ ./mfc.sh run examples/1D_sodshocktube/case.py -t pre_process simulation -e batch -N 1 -n 8 -w "00:10:00" -p GPU -# "shb-test" -b mpirun -a phy210041p

It would be interesting if you could find a way to reliably reproduce this issue. Here are a few ideas for what could be going wrong:

• (improbable) A source file got written to.
• The system's date/time is imprecise/unreliable.
• Some process changed the last modification date of one or more files.
• Maybe an issue with symbolic links? (multiple paths can point to the same file)

Thanks, I'll take a look!

[wilfonba]

@henryleberre --case-optimization seems to be hit or miss lately too... My fork is up to date with master, and I keep getting an unsupported value of weno_order error when using case optimization. When I look at the case.fpp file, it's empty. I'm also seeing the rebuild on every run behavior that @sbryngelson is seeing.

[henryleberre]

@wilfonba, I can look into it. Are you looking at the case.fpp in the build folder or src/? It transitioned to the former recently. Since we don’t test for case-optimization right now, it’s possible that someone (including myself) might have broken it.

[wilfonba]

Hmm, it appears to have been updated in the build directory. Maybe I'm missing something else then.
