#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):
This patch changes the parameter file so that variables can only be set once. Cyclic assignments and multiple assignments are now errors. This change will temporarily break the TestPar test, which violates the new rules.
In addition, this patch fixes a serious and previously undiscovered bug which caused unary operations to change the contents of the parameter they were applied to.
