At the moment CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR is only mentioned in doc/FAQ. It should
be documented in the regular documentation as well.

#605: Simfactory does not find the right 'path' for symlinked cactus directories
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: knarf | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2011_10
Component: SimFactory | Version: development version
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Simfactory currently does not detect the 'right' path to a Cactus
sourcetree if this is from within a symlink, e.g. Cactus ->
/mnt/data/Cactus. This is because while `pwd` returns '/home/user/Cactus',
simfactory uses a wrapper to the C-library getcwd(), which dereferences
symlinks. Simfactory then gets '/mnt/data/Cactus' and tries to use this
path on remote machines when syncing - which of course does not work.
The attached patch fixes this by using os.environ.get("PWD") and, if this
is not defined, using os.getcwd() as workaround.

#117: Error while building multiple configurations
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner: mthomas
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
I wanted to build multiple configurations at once with the command
./simfactory/sim build sim-debug sim
sim-debug is a debug configuration, sim is optimised. SimFactory built
sim-debug, then aborted with the error:
optionlist is: /Users/eschnett/EinsteinToolkit-hg/configs/sim/OptionList
Error: pattern '^\s*DEBUG\s*=.*$' exists already
It assumes that SimFactory doesn't properly distinguish between the
different build options of the different configurations.

#456: Ensure functions are not defined twice
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:

Component: Cactus | Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
When multiple source files define non-static functions with the same name,
these are all compiled together into the resulting executable. Which one
gets called is not predictable by the user.
This can happen if a user copies a thorn, modifies it slightly, and
compiles both thorns into the same configuration. This can lead to *very*
difficult-to-find bugs, and it would be helpful if Cactus was able to
prevent this, or at least to mitigate the problem.
At the CST level, Cactus should be able to tell that there are two thorns
which schedule functions with the same name. At the moment, this is not
caught. I propose that this should be a fatal error, as there is no way
to predict which function will be called eventually.
This will solve the problem in some cases, but not in the case where there
are instances of duplicate function names which are not scheduled. It
should be possible to scan the object/library files using standard tools
(nm etc) to determine if there are multiple globally visible symbols with
the same name. There might even be standard tools for this purpose.
Doing this in a portable way might not be straightforward, but having an
implementation for Linux, for example, would catch the majority of cases.

#447: simfactory 1.0 always uses -L 3
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------

Component: SimFactory | Version:

The perl version of simfactory always uses the debugging loglevel for
simulations. The loglevel of a cactus simulation can be specified by
setting -L to a value between 0 (none) and 3 (debug). While the cactus
default is 0, simfactory sets it to 3. The debug loglevel could lead to
huge output files.
I would suggest to set it to the cactus default, and allow a user to
increase it.

Cactus sometimes outputs an error message that a configuration needs to be
reconfigured. Simfactory should notice this, and then automatically build
with --reconfig.

To ensure that Cactus test cases don't run for too long, and to identify
those that do, we should output the run time for all test cases together
with their results.

#229: Using a nonexistent header file should lead to an error message
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
If I have the following in my interface.ccl,
USES INCLUDE: vectors.h
but no thorn in my thornlist provides this header file, there is no error
at compile time. Further, if I #include this file in my source file, an
empty file is included, which means that again I don't get an error. The
first indication that something is wrong is that the contents of the
header file are not available, which makes debugging the problem with the
thornlist very confusing.
I propose that the CST should emit a fatal error if one of the thorns
tries to use a header file which does not exist.
