Geant4 4.0 - patch-01 Release Notes
-----------------------------------
31st January 2002
List of fixes included in this public patch to release 4.0:
o Event:
-----
- G4PrimaryTransformer: removed check whether the primary vertex is
inside the world volume. The check has been moved to G4SteppingManager.
o Geometry:
--------
- Magnetic field:
o Activated G4DEBUG_FIELD in GNUmakefile.
o G4MagHelicalStepper.cc: renamed local variables "*Momentum*"
to "*Velocity*".
- Management:
o G4AffineTransform.icc: fixed trivial compilation warning for gcc-2.95.2.
- Volumes:
o G4AuxiliaryNavServices: critical fix, to only consider whether a
'ray' (Point,Direction) is on the surface (it was erroneously also
checking for those inside volumes). This erroneous condition occurred
frequently in the new usage of Locate with Direction to initialise a
step.
o G4Navigator: reset blocked volume when locating 'within volume',
after ensuring that it does not get called when ComputeSafety() is at
a boundary. Fixes cases of longstanding 'Point P is Inside' errors.
o Activated mechanism in GNUmakefile for allowing compilation with
G4DEBUG_FIELD or G4DEBUG_NAVIGATION flags.
- solids/Boolean:
o Moved all verbosity mode warnings to G4BOOLDEBUG.
o Activated G4BOOLDEBUG mechanism in GNUmakefile.
- solids/BREPS:
o G4BREPSolidPCone: bugfix for problem report #320.
Fixed missing use-case in constructor when RMAX and RMIN have been
changed for 2 consecutive equal z-values. Now it creates correctly
2 planar surfaces as expected.
Added private method ComputePlanarSurface() gained
by refactoring of some part of the code in the constructor.
o G4FPlane: fixed first constructor adding new argument for setting
explicitly the sense of a surface if required.
Fixed G4FPlane::Intersect() method which incorrectly ignored a special
case of a hit on surface point with ray direction opposite to surface
normal.
- solids/CSG:
o G4Sphere.cc: fixed a problem with tolerances in the case of large Radius.
o Moved all verbosity mode warnings to G4CSGDEBUG.
o Activated G4CSGDEBUG mechanism in GNUmakefile.
o Global:
------
- G4strstreambuf: plugged memory leak in destructor for buffer deletion.
Temporary fix to G4strstream::overflow(c) for GNU gcc-3.X compilers
(also problem report #342), which require returning of character 'c' in
case of buffer flushing for <CR>.
- Replaced 'NULL' with '0' in G4Allocator.hh, G4strstreambuf.icc
and G4Timer.cc.
- Removed obsolete inline definitions in g4std/wrappers/DEC-cxx/cmath.
o Materials:
---------
- Fixed G4MaterialPropertyVector::AddElement() to consider ordering
of elements.
o Track & Tracking:
----------------
- track:
o G4Track: corrected initialization of fStepLength in constructors.
Fixed bug in assignment operator for fStepLength.
- tracking:
o G4SteppingManager:
- fix safe comparison between floating numbers
- added check for primary track outside of the world
- bug fix for particles below threshold to avoid double steps
o Visualization:
-------------
- Corrected handling for already open file in HepRepXMLWriter.
o Examples:
--------
- Novice: syncronised files with CVS HEAD. No functional changes to code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Notes
---------------
o Technical notes distributed for release 4.0 are also applicable and valid
for this patch.
The code and rebuilt binary libraries for release 4.0 are available through
our "Source Code" Web page:

hydrogen, hence removing this boundary use-case from the cascade
interface specifications.

4. Persistency
5. Compiler Specific Problems
6. Known Run-Time Problems
7. Compilation Warnings
8. Known Run-Time Warnings
1. Supported and Tested Platforms
---------------------------------
o SUN Solaris 5.7, C++ 5.2 Patch 109508-03.
o Linux, gcc 2.95.2, egcs-2.91.66 (egcs 1.1.2).
This configuration was tested with the RedHat 6.1 and 7.2 distributions,
versions of Geant4 have also been compiled successfully on other Linux
distributions, like Debian or Suse.
The default RedHat compiler gcc-2.96 ditributed in RedHat 7.X is NOT
supported. It has been verified that it produces incorrect binaries,
therefore is not reliable. See also note below.
o Windows-2000 and CygWin Tools with: Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 5
Platforms configured but not tested and not supported:
o DEC V4.0, cxx C++ V6.1-027 with/without ObjectSpace STL
o HP 10.20, aCC C++ B3910B A.01.23 with/without ObjectSpace STL
o SGI V6.5.5, CC 7.2.1 with ObjectSpace STL
o AIX 4.3.2, xlC compiler with ObjectSpace STL
o MacOS 10.1, gcc 2.92.2
2. AIDA and CLHEP
-----------------
Geant4 4.1 requires the installation of CLHEP.
See <A href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/lhc++/INSTALLATION/clhep.html">
CLHEP</A>. Tests have been performed with CLHEP 1.7.5.0. However, first
level porting has also been verified on CLHEP 1.8.0.0.
By default, the CLHEP installation scripts will activate ISO/ANSI C++ features
if the compiler is capable. You need to explicitly disable CLHEP settings in
case you wish non-ISO/ANSI setup on specific compilers.
Geant4 4.1 examples with histogramming cowork with AIDA 2.2 implementations.
These include:
- ANAPHE 4.0.4 and components included therein:
Objectivity 6.1.3
HepODBMS 0.3.3.1
CLHEP 1.7.5.0
(see: <A href="http://cern.ch/anaphe">ANAPHE</A>)
- JAS 2.2.5
(see: <A href="http://jas.freehep.org">JAS</A>)
- Open Scientist v8
(see: <A href="http://www.lal.in2p3.fr/OpenScientist/v8/welcome.html">Open Scientist</A>)
AIDA headers can be downloaded from:
<A href="http://aida.freehep.org">AIDA</A>
3. The Standard Template Library
--------------------------------
Native versions of STL have been tested on the following platforms:
Windows/2000, Linux, and SUN.
NOTES:
- Platform specific setup:
o SUN: Native STL is required for ISO/ANSI setup.
o Linux: Native STL is required (non ISO/ANSI setup for egcs compiler only).
o W2000: Native STL and ISO/ANSI setup required (VC++ 6.0).
4. Persistency
--------------
See release notes for Geant4 4.0.
5. Compiler Specific Problems
-----------------------------
o Linux Red Hat 7.X, gcc-2.96.
- The default compiler distributed by Red Hat since release 7.0 is
NOT supported and not considered reliable for running a Geant4-based
application. In more than one test case, binaries produced by gcc-2.96
have shown incorrect behavior, either due to wrong order of
initialisation of static data in memory or to bugs in the system
iostream classes, problems which apparently have all been solved in
more recent versions of the compiler (3.X series).
For information, gcc-2.96 is a compiler that has never been
officially released, nor supported by the GNU team itself and is not
considered reliable by the authors (for more information, see also
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html).
6. Known Run-Time Problems and Limitations
------------------------------------------
For a complete list of outstanding run-time problems and to submit any
problem you may find running this version of Geant4, please refer to the
Geant4 Problem Reporting System, available on the Web at this address:
http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/cgi-bin/geant4/problemreport
7. Compilation Warnings
-----------------------
There are compilation warnings on some platforms. We do not believe
that any will lead to incorrect run-time behaviour, but we are working
on reducing them.
8. Known Run-Time Warnings
--------------------------
The following messages can be written to error output while tracking.
We believe none give rise to incorrect behaviour.
o G4PropagateInField: Warning: Particle is looping
- tracking in field will be stopped.
It has performed 10000 steps in Field while a maximum of 10000
are allowed.
