Describe your changes here:

This PR updates the libsc submodule to the lastest development containing the necessary fix in libsc's CMake build system to close #1109. Some of libsc's types have been deprecated. As a result, modifications had to be made on parts that relied on these MPI types. I think someone with better experience with the SFC schemes can weigh in whether I made the correct modifications.

Closes #1109

All these boxes must be checked by the reviewers before merging the pull request:

As a reviewer please read through all the code lines and make sure that the code is fully understood, bug free, well-documented and well-structured.

General

  • The reviewer executed the new code features at least once and checked the results manually

  • The code follows the t8code coding guidelines

  • New source/header files are properly added to the Makefiles

  • The code is well documented

  • All function declarations, structs/classes and their members have a proper doxygen documentation

  • All new algorithms and data structures are sufficiently optimal in terms of memory and runtime (If this should be merged, but there is still potential for optimization, create a new issue)

Tests

  • The code is covered in an existing or new test case using Google Test

Github action

  • The code compiles without warning in debugging and release mode, with and without MPI (this should be executed automatically in a github action)

  • All tests pass (in various configurations, this should be executed automatically in a github action)

    If the Pull request introduces code that is not covered by the github action (for example coupling with a new library):

    • Should this use case be added to the github action?
    • If not, does the specific use case compile and all tests pass (check manually)

Scripts and Wiki

  • If a new directory with source-files is added, it must be covered by the script/find_all_source_files.scp to check the indentation of these files.
  • If this PR introduces a new feature, it must be covered in an example/tutorial and a Wiki article.

Licence

  • The author added a BSD statement to doc/ (or already has one)

Unfortunately the changes in the MPI data type cannot stay like that.
We deliberately kept sc_MPI_INT8_T (see also cburstedde/libsc#166 and cburstedde/libsc#175)

MPI_INT8 is not the same as MPI_BYTE and we should keep it.
Also sc_MPI_LONG_LONG_INT is not sc_MPI_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG and looses the unsigned information.

These are not in libsc since sc wants to stay backward compatible with old MPI versions.

We do not need this backward compatibility for t8code.

We should discuss a solution.
