Recursive call of referenceEmbeddings leads to millions of warnings
In the ReferenceElementImplementation
there is a helper function referenceEmbeddings()
(https://gitlab.dune-project.org/core/dune-geometry/-/blob/master/dune/geometry/referenceelementimplementation.hh?ref_type=heads#L213) that is implemented recursively. The case dim == 0
is not handled explicitly but might occure in this recursive instantiation. Recent compilers, e.g. gcc-12, instantiate this function and then give lots of warnings (with -Wall
) about array access with index size_t(-1)
. This is resulting from array[dim-1]
probably.
This function is unfortunately undocumented. I don't know what it should return and how the case dim = 0
should behave. A simple solution would be to handle this case explicitly to silence the warning.
