#447: simfactory 1.0 always uses -L 3
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: alexander.beck-ratzka@… | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
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.

#346: Detect when --reconfig is necessary

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

#1065: Pass CCTK_ARGUMENTS more efficiently in Fortran
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new

Component: Other | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
CCTK_ARGUMENTS is passed differently in C and in Fortran. In C, only a
single pointer is passed, pointing to cctkGH. The cctk_... variables and
pointers to grid functions are defined locally from cctkGH. This is
efficient, because (a) only a single variable is passed, and (b) the
compiler can eliminate unused definitions.
In Fortran, all the cctk_... variables and all grid functions are passed
explicitly. This is expensive for the caller, because hundreds of
arguments have to be set up and passed to the subroutine. The compiler
cannot eliminate any unused variables.
I suggest to change the Fortran calling convention to be the same as the
one for C. Since regular Fortran pointers differ significantly from C
pointers, I suggest to use "Cray pointers" instead, which are very similar
to C pointers. Cray pointers are an extension to the Fortran standard, and
are supported by all Fortran compilers I know of.
I attach sample code that shows how to declare, define, and use this
convention.

#1015: increase file size limit
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:

Component: EinsteinToolkit trac | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Could we increase the size limit for attached files, please? Right now it
seems to be 256k which is regularly too small if I have to attach a patch
with test data. I don't really like splitting up patches into a code patch
(uncompressed) and a gzipped data patch for the test data all the time. It
is just very very error prone.
At least for logged in users.

#907: TRAC: allow to create a ticket with review state

Sometimes we want to create a ticket with an attached patch and assign the
ticket to be reviewed. That should be possible with only one "modify
ticket". Currently we need to create the ticket with the attachment and
then modify the ticket afterwards to review state. The problem is that
sometimes we forget to change to review state. It would be nice to do it
all at once.

#1044: Gnuplot Cactus visualisation page has multiple issues
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus website | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The page http://cactuscode.org/documentation/visualization/gnuPlot/ has
the following problems:
* The instructions for viewing multi-iteration 1D data from the
IOASCII thorn do not work. Since the iterations are separated by only a
single blank line, you cannot use the "index" option in the Gnuplot "plot"
command as the instructions tell you to do. I suspect that either the
output format or Gnuplot itself has changed since the instructions were
written. Erik suggests using some form of "every" to visualise this data
in Gnuplot.
* This page renders poorly in both Safari (webkit) and Firefox
(gecko). The light blue boxes containing text to be typed have a strange
artefact on the left side, and the initial paragraph is wrapped poorly.
* All of the links in the table of contents are broken.

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.
