cannot convert `json_t*` to `char**` in variorum connector, gcc 12.2.1

ret = variorum_get_node_power_json(power_obj);

Have you tried #265 with a recent variorum version?

This is likely wrong and according to the example in https://variorum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/VariorumTools.html
this should be something like this:

Again, we rewrote this tool in #265.

I tried building kokkos-tools with gcc/10.3.0 and sha 2f784b3 and I'm seeing:

/ascldap/users/ndellin/kokkos-tools/profiling/variorum-connector/variorum-connector.cpp: In function 'void KokkosTools::VariorumConnector::variorum_call()':
/ascldap/users/ndellin/kokkos-tools/profiling/variorum-connector/variorum-connector.cpp:79:24: error: 'variorum_get_power_json' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'variorum_get_node_power_json'?
   79 |   int variorum_error = variorum_get_power_json(&s);
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                        variorum_get_node_power_json

Is this related to issue? PR #265 was included in my repo clone. My build was a simple process:

cd kokkos-tools
cmake -B Build -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ .
cmake --build Build -j16

Edit: Variorum was found at /lib/cmake

ls /lib/cmake
variorum.cmake  VariorumConfig.cmake  VariorumConfigVersion.cmake  variorum-relwithdebinfo.cmake  variorum_setup_deps.cmake  variorum_setup_targets.cmake

What variorum version are you using? The tool is only compatible with upstream versions right now.
