#1100: Correct backtrace generation in Carpet
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Carpet | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
The file backtrace.cc in CarpetLib does not #include <cctk.h>; hence all
HAVE_BACKTRACE* macros are undefined, and only basic backtraces are
generated.
Correcting this is non-trivial, since the backtrace code is arcane, is
written in C, probably expects glibc, contains (I'm fairly certain) memory
allocation errors, and doesn't build e.g. on Mac OSX. The code also spends
an inordinate amount of time allocating and freeing string buffers, which
should be replaced by simply using C++ streams.
The backtrace code also probably requires a few more autoconf tests, so
that it can be disabled where it does not work.

#914: Don't use fork()

It seems that it is in many cases not safe to call fork() in MPI
applications. This page <http://www.open-mpi.de/faq/?category=openfabrics
#ofa-fork> has some information. The upshot seems to be:
- In many (most) cases, one can call system() or popen() to execute
external processes while waiting for them.
- It is generally not safe to call fork() to execute a certain task in the
background. However, it should be possible to use threads in this case.

#980: Remove support for the flesh-based MPI mechanism
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The flesh-based MPI mechanism has just been deprecated in favour of
ExternalLibraries/MPI. Even though the latter is new, it is probably a
good idea to completely disable the old mechanism since having any mixture
of thorns/optionlists using the old and new mechanisms is completely
untested and will likely lead to problems and confusion. It's better to
give a useful fatal error message if someone still specifies "MPI = " in
their optionlist than to have things break in other weird and wonderful
ways.

#1390: parameter file parser aborts when findeing first error

The attached parfile contains multiple errors (one per line).
However the parameter file parser only reports the first one, then stops.
This makes verifying parfiles for correctness hard. It might be good to
defer aborting until the end of the file or until a larger number of
parsing errors were encountered.

LSUThorns/QuasiLocalMeasures/test/test.ccl curerntly reads:
{{{

RELTOL 1.e+5

I am curious: is the relative tolerance of 10,000 intentional or should it
have been 1e-5 instead?
