o Environments
|
|
------------
|
|
+ G4Py:
|
|
o Updated scripts for use of internal CLHEP module.
|
|
o Added necessary updates for 9.5.p01. Addressing problem report #1317.
|
|
o Fixed logics in configuration script for specifying Python include
|
|
path. Addressing problem report #1316.

|
|
Addressing problem report #1318.
|
|
|
|
o Digits_Hits:
|
|
-----------
|
|

|
|
and print warning when SetSize() or SetNumberOfSegments is called more
|
|
then once.
|
|
|
|
o Error Propagation:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
+ Fixes in G4ErrorTrackLengthTarget and G4VErrorLimitProcess to solve
|
|
memory leak. Addressing problem report #1284.
|
|
+ Fixed variable name (partType -> partName) in G4ErrorFreeTrajState
|
|
and delete code not needed in G4ErrorPhysicsList.
|
|
+ Explicitly use inclusion of headers for system of units and physical
|
|
constants and fixed spurious cases of hidden variables.
|
|
|
|
o Event:
|
|
-----
|
|
+ Correction for orthogonalization of rotation matrix in
|
|
G4SPSPosDistribution::GenerateRotationMatrices() method.

|
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
|
|
+ navigation:
|
|
o G4Navigator: added method GetGlobalExitNormal() to be used in place
|
|
of GetLocalExitNormal() by optical processes, to address problem
|
|
report #1300. Compute normals also for replicas.
|
|
Moved internal methods GetSavedState() and RestoreSavedState() to
|
|
protected.
|
|
o G4PropagatorInField, G4VIntersectionLocator: corrected two arguments
|
|
of IntersectChord() to be const references instead of copy (fix for
|
|
CPU performance).
|
|
o G4Navigator, G4MultiNavigator and G4ErrorPropagationNavigator:
|
|
use 'true' as default value for state keeping.
|
|

|
|
+ solids/Boolean:
|
|

infinite loop in DistanceToIn(p,v); return computed distance instead
|
|
of zero and provide more descriptive information when issuing warning.

|
|
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
|
|
+ solids/CSG:
|
|
o G4Para::SurfaceNormal(): fixed calculation of sin(alpha) from

|
cosine and tangent.

|
|
methods in header file by explicitly adding inline keyword; added inline
|
|
method Value() and private method ComputeValue() in order to have inline
|
|
access to the value for the case of multiple calls with the the same
|
|
energy value.
|
|
+ Correction to G4PhysicsOrderedFreeVector to fix ordering of elements.
|
|
+ G4UnitsTable: added call to BuildUnitsTable() from static accessor to
|
|
guarantee proper initialization of units in static calls.
|
|
Modified warnings in cout to be compliant with G4Exception syntax.
|
|

|
|
G4ReferenceCountedHandle to be properly imported/exported
