#665: CarpetIO* output parameter format error ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: baiotti@… | Type: enhancement Status: new | Priority: minor Milestone: | Component: Cactus Version: | Keywords: syntax for variable names ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Even if it is an unofficial feature, the output parameter format for public variables, e.g.:
IOASCII::out1D_vars = "THORN_NAME::VARIABLE_NAME"
should be accepted. Instead, I found that when requesting output as
IOASCII::out1D_vars = "TestOutput::testoutput"
for a *public:* or *protected:* variable group of the type:
CCTK_REAL testoutput[nvar] type=GF TimeLevels=1 Dim=3 { output } ""
where nvar is an integer parameter and the thorn name is TestOutput and differs from the implementation name, Carpet complains that
WARNING[L1,P0] (Cactus): CCTK_TraverseString: invalid group/variable name 'TestOutput::testoutput' in traversed string 'TestOutput::testoutput' WARNING level 0 in thorn IOUtil processor 0 host mbaiotti2-2.local (line 140 of
/Users/baiotti/Cactus.fresh- checkout/arrangements/CactusBase/IOUtil/src/Utils.c): -> error while parsing parameter 'IOBasic::outInfo_vars'
For *private:* arrays of variables it works.
I attach an example thorn and parfile.
