#1651: Problems with expansions in parameter files ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hinder | Owner: sbrandt Type: defect | Status: accepted Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by sbrandt):
The way Piraha currently does things is that it asks Cactus for the value of the parameter, which presumably comes from some default. That doesn't prevent you from setting it a new value later and using that.
The attached patch will flag an error if a variable is written after it's read. That might give you part of what you're looking for.
