Some of the tests do not pass, as there are bugs in the
    implementation of string functions.

    With the use of gtest, we will write tests in C++, so
    we could have specified C, CXX as languages, but I don't
    see any reason to do this.

update HWLOC dependence for DEB package

See merge request !54

Use stdbool.h for the bool type definition.

See merge request !56

The previously given dependency for the DEB packages was incorrect,
as it did not install the headers - only the runtime library of hwloc.

CPACK fix (HWLOC dependency missing)

See merge request !53

also made minor fix cpack config

Artem fuzzer fixes

See merge request !51

    Otherwise, grep produces som nonsense.

    It is surprising, but we can define a ++/-- function with no
    parameters and call it is a normal function.  The code that was
    handling the ++/-- (postfix operator resolution) was making
    an assumption that there is one argument.

    A program to cause a failure:

    int [ain,() { return 0; }

    The rule for a type is "<base-type> ('[' <expr-list> ']')?".  When
    expr-list was parsed, an erroneous component was turned into NULL,
    and then a function was trying to set location to the NULL node.

    We check now that the component is not null, as "<base-type> '[' ']'"
    is not supported by the sac syntax.

    An example to reproduce the failure is this:

    int [ain () { return 0; }

    The reason for the failure was that error_type_node was propagating
    into a TBmakeRet type constructor and caused segfault when trying
    to free the node.

    The patch fixes the problem and simplifies handling of return types.

[vers manager] minor fix to support python2.6

See merge request !50

On CentOS 6.*, Python2.6 is the primary variant of python available
through the package manager. Unfortunately, it is very cumbersome to
install a newer version of Python, as several systems tools (such as
yum) have a hard dependency on the older version. Because of this we
run into compatibility problems:

Python2.6 does not support dict comprehensions (these were introduced in
python2.7 - see [PEP274][1]). We use this in two places within the
version script. This patch changes the comprehensions into normal loop
operations. This works fine with later versions of Python2.* branch.

It's unfortunate that we need to worry about this given that python2.6
is no longer support by the Python devs... perhaps we should rethink
out position on supporting CentOS 6.

fixed OSX problem of parameterised CC flag

See merge request !48

OSX wants to add something like -isysroot <BLA> which needs to be handed through.
However, -Xc and -Xl do not support flags with parameters. The solution here is to
transform this into -Xc -isysroot -Xc <BLA>.
This is not ideal but all other attempts to pass an argument failed :-(

Artem remove old buildsystem

Closes #1212

See merge request !45

    This helps to avoid rebuilding the entire project when entering
    subdirectories, and it makes -j flag to work correctly on subdirs.

GCC 8 warning fixes [unsure]

See merge request !46

Thie commit resolves some of the new warnings that GCC 8 issues.

Specifically warnings `-Wcast-function-type` and `-Wrestrict`. The first
clearly deals with casting from one function type to another and the
latter deals with breaks in `restrict`, that is we have _unsafe_
operations, e.g. reading and writing using the same pointer.

Extend sac2c-version-manager to support installing symlinks in a more generic way

See merge request !44

In particular the install command documentation has been changes to be
more clear. Other commands have also been changed slightly.

Additionally we've cleaned up the code a bit and have included some more
CMake variables from the configuration phase in the script - we used to
infer these but it is likely better to rely on the build system for this
information.

This is needed for the sac-version-manager script. We could check
for version 2.7 (where argparse is include per default), but CentOS
has a hard dependency on Python 2.6.6 (which doesn't have argparse).

There argparse needs to be setup seperately.

Previously, we used `cmake -E` internal symlink mechanism to create
links. We now use the sac2c-version-manager script instead, as this
is slightly more reliable when it comes to 'installing' different
links.

This is also multi-platform compatible, though for Windows and
forwards slashes this is untested - Python os.* supports Windows so
it should work, or otherwise gracefully fail.
