#1525: cannt use environment variables in non-stringy parameters ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: rhaas | Owner: sbrandt Type: defect | Status: reviewed_ok Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
I just noticed that the error message reads: {{{ WARNING level 0 in thorn Cactus processor 0 host horizon.tapir.caltech.edu (line 1 of env): -> Invalid numerical value: 12e }}} ie the paramter file name is given as just "env" without the ".par" extension (which the function get_parfile actually strips). I think for error messages one should use the string returned by CCTK_ParameterFilename without further modifications. In particular get_parfile may or may not modify the returned value so one cannot just add ".par" to its returned string to restore the value returned by CCTK_ParameterFilename. This might affect other error messages as well.
