#702: Tests should use IO::out_fileinfo = "none"

The Cactus User Guide
(http://einsteintoolkit.org/documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuidech9.html#x13-…)
recommends that test output files should always be the same, and hence use
IO::out_fileinfo = "none". I would like to implement this for the tests
in the ET, as it makes comparing test output using standard (non-Cactus
testsuite mechanism) diff tools possible.

#1631: The dgfe branch for McLachlan generates NaNs
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
Reporter: Jonah Miller <jonah.maxwell.miller@…> | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: optional | Milestone: ET_2014_11
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: dgfe,mclachlan,gamma driver |
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
When one uses the gamma driver formulation in the dgfe branch of McLachlan
and sets the shiftGammaCoefficient to zero, the runtime output has NaNs
because the code divides by zero.
A bit of flow control fixes this. Attached is a patch for the branch.

#1646: McLachlan does not give a reference for the gauge evolution equations

Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: McLachlan |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
McLachlan_BSSN.m does not seem to contain any information (eg in evolCalc)
that would tell me from which paper the different expressions for the
shift and lapse evolution expression are taken from (which may be useful
to understand what the different coefficients mean, since parsing the
multiple factors of the type XXXFactor * AAA + (1-XXXFactor) * BBB to get
either AAA or BBB is confusing).

#1419: Cactus should produce no errors in Valgrind
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: sbrandt | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: Cactus_4.3.0
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Valgrind is a useful tool for identifying a large number of coding
problems. Currently, running Cactus under valgrind produces a large number
of spurious errors due to the implementation of the string library.
Attempts to use the valgrind suppression mechanism to eliminate them have
proven difficult.
However, these errors all go away if we simply replace all calls to
strdup() with calls to util_Strdup(), a function which is already part of
Cactus. Making this replacement shouldn't have any negative impacts, and
it would make valgrind more usable.

We should remove support for all external library support that's wired

#641: Parameter files and thornlists could be tested as part of the release
process
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

Component: Other | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
There are a number of parameter files and thornlists included as examples
with thorns in the ET, and in Cactus. Would it be feasible to have these
tested as part of the release process? For example, they should run
without crashing or missing thorns, should not trigger NaNs etc, and we
should minimise any warnings that are emitted. It would be nice to
automate this, though it probably requires a cluster, so would be distinct
from the usual test suite procedure, due to requiring more memory than
tests.
Something to think about for the next release.

#697: Repository and thorn names cannot be different
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eric9
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone:
Component: GetComponents | Version:
Keywords: |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
I am accessing some thorns stored in git repositories at bitbucket.org,
which insists that all repository names are all lower case. I don't know
how to specify this in GetComponents. When I say
!TARGET = $ARR
!TYPE = git
!URL = git@bitbucket.org:user/thorn.git
!AUTH_URL = git@bitbucket.org:user/thorn.git
!CHECKOUT =
Arrangement/Thorn
then GetComponents does not create a symbolic link from Thorn to
../../repos/thorn, but to ../../repos/thorn/Arrangement/Thorn instead. How
do I avoid this?

#241: Thorns should be able to specify implementation versions, and other thorns
should be able to depend on those
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: knarf | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Cactus thorns implement 'implementations', and other thorns can then
depend on particular implementations being present. However, quite often
those are updated, and incompatibilities occur. Usually this is resolved
by the developer in both thorns - the implementing and the using thorn.
However, a user might just update one of them, and Cactus would not catch
this error. Thus, I suggest to think about, and implement how to:
- specify implementation versions
e.g. IMPLEMENTS: Cactus (4.0)
The version string within () would have be sorted in an intelligent way
to allow
comparisons [1].
- specify dependencies on particular versions of other implementations
In particular I suggest the following dependencies: depends, and
conflicts, both
with comparisons < <= == >= > !=
e.g. DEPENDS: Cactus (>= 4.0)
DEPENDS: BadImplementation (!=3.14) <-- this introduces a
dependency
CONFLICTS: BadImplementation (==3.14) <-- this doesn't introduce
a depencency
[1] First the initial part of each string consisting entirely of non-digit
characters is determined. These two parts (one of which may be empty) are
compared lexically. If a difference is found it is returned. The lexical
comparison is a comparison of ASCII values modified so that all the
letters sort earlier than all the non-letters. Then the initial part of
the remainder of each string which consists entirely of digit characters
is determined. The numerical values of these two parts are compared, and
any difference found is returned as the result of the comparison. For
these purposes an empty string (which can only occur at the end of one or
both version strings being compared) counts as zero.
These two steps (comparing and removing initial non-digit strings and
initial digit strings) are repeated until a difference is found or both
strings are exhausted.
