#973: add force-realclean facility to Cactus build system --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- there is currently no way to force a clean rebuild when low level files within Cactus change. This happened twice recently (once to introduce cctk_ash and once to split cctk.h into separate files).
In the both case, failing to recompile causes very strange parameter related errors at runtime.

Comment (by eschnett):
Note that Simfactory already offers such a mechanism. This mechanism is also used when there are incompatible changes to option lists, e.g. when switching compilers or major compiler versions.
