fix: makefile compilation (7a0de22)

  • Merge branch 'master' into feature/test-on-mpi-scattering (5d01ddc)
  • Add the skeleton for binary local volatile writer

Add the skeleton for binary local volatile writer: a writer that saves data into a binary local volatile characters string that can be easily shared between different processes and can be created also by processes that have not access to the filesystem for creating a real file.

Just a skeleton not even compilable. (c08c3cb)

  • Minor progress (ebfa173)
  • XML Abstract Writer Ready for MPI-scattering

Short description

XML abstract writer is now (almost) ready for MPI-scattering feature. The main features of XML-backend seem to be ready at least.

Why:

Enable the XML binary volatile writer for MPI scattering scenario.

Side effects:

Seems nothing relevant. The FACE submodule has been added due to the new dependency tree of StringiFor submodule. (b4efdc2)

  • Add first test for volatile file

YES, it WORKS! (57a20ac)

  • Removed unused files (003d6a9)
  • Completed the test of volatile XML file writing (success)

Short description

Completed the test of volatile XML file writing with success.

Why:

Enabling the usage of library into parallel enviroments where only one process (the master process) has access to the filestystem.

This change addresses the need by:

Introducing a new flag for the binary (base64) format for creating a characters string containing the whole file insead of writing a real one into the file system thus the slave processes can easily send their volatile file to the master process, it being the only one that can really write them.

Side effects:

Nothing, fully backward compatible. (a77cfd6)

  • Add test-example for Parallel (partioned) VTS file

Short description

Add test for Parallel (partioned) VTS file

Why:

To test the correctness of the parallel VTK file class and to show how create such a file.

This change addresses the need by:

add file src/test/vtkfortran_write_pvts.f90.

Side effects:

nothing (c7a3f87)

  • Merge branch 'feature/test-on-mpi-scattering' into develop (9cb1e30)

v1.2.3 (2015-07-28) ​

Full Changelog

Miscellaneous ​

  • Added Gitter badge (4990740)
  • Merge branch 'gitter-badger-gitter-badge' (0027633)
  • Start Modularization

Start library modularization as described into https://github.com/szaghi/Lib_VTK_IO/issues/2

The modules naming convention is temporary: ask victor his suggestion. (c6a2fde)

  • Expose Nvtk and f from back_end module (39aaa46)
  • Modularize

Add (sub)modules: the library is now modularized as https://github.com/szaghi/Lib_VTK_IO/issues/2 (61c776b)

  • Add victor auxiliary procedures into back-end module (378d86a)

  • Added a new source file LIB_VTK_IO_PVD_XML.f90 in order to implement PVD exporters and importers. Actually, only exporters are implemented. The functions to write PVD files are:

    • PVD_INI_XML
    • PVD_DAT_XML
    • PVD_END_XML

Added CMakeLists.txt files for CMake compilation system. This is the first approach to a final solution, probably some changes will be needed. Some problems found while compiling with -DHUGE and -Dr16p

Redistribution of source files to separate library source files and executables source files. New CMake compilation system allows to include any source into src/lib, to be added to the library, or src/test, to create executable files, without modifiying CMakeLists.txt files. (3f85173)

Note: for the moment the importers and the exporters are on different interfaces. In particular it has been chosen to distinguigh them with the suffix "_WRITE" and "_READ" for exporters and importers, respectively. This break the BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY. In the future OOP refactoring it will investigated how to give a simple generic interface for both importers and exporters. (3f26f97)

  • Update contributing (9d16a16)
  • Commit before submodularize (d33168c)
  • Merge branch 'importers'

  • Submodularize IR_Precision

Add IR_Precision as gitsubmodule placed into external directory and symlinked IR_Precision.f90 into src/lib where it is necessary. (780f54a)
