<H2>7. Major items for migration of user code</H2>
|
|
|
|
Some migrations are necessary in different areas of the user code in
|
|
order to upgrade from release 6.2 to release 7.0,
|
|
a full recompilation and/or reinstallation of libraries and user
|
|
applications is moreover required.
|
|
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
<B>Direct usage of <TT><cmath></TT> for standard mathematical functions</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
In this release the Geant4 code makes now direct usage of <TT><cmath></TT>
|
|
for standard mathematical functions. All direct/indirect inclusions of
|
|
<TT><math.h></TT> have been removed.<BR>
|
|
To be compliant with this migration, the user code should be modified as well,
|
|
by adopting either one of the following approaches:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Put in front of the following standard mathematical functions the <TT>std::</TT>
|
|
prefix for the namespace:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
pow(), exp(), sqrt(), log(), log10(), sin(), cos(), tan(),
|
|
sinh(), cosh(), tanh(), asin(), acos(), atan(), atan2(),
|
|
ceil(), floor(), fabs(), fmod(), frexp(), ldexp(), modf()
|
|
</PRE></LI>
|
|
<LI>Alternatively, for places where code readability is a concern, add in source
|
|
files (not headers or inline methods, and after the headers inclusions), the
|
|
statement:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
using namespace std; </UL>
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
As part of this migration also standard headers like:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
<math.h>, <limits.h>, <stdlib.h>
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
are no longer indirectly included. This may require the user code to include
|
|
them if/where necessary.<BR>
|
|
To be noticed also that this migration involves also the <I>removal</I> of
|
|
usage of the ad-hoc template function originally defined in CLHEP:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
T abs(T)
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
So the definition of this function will not be any longer available in a
|
|
indirect way. The standard mathematical function:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
std::abs()
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
will have to be used instead.

<B>New Installation procedure for the <TT>Configure</TT> script</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
The installation procedure of the kernel libraries using the <TT>Configure</TT> script
|
|
has changed. It is now required to specify the final area of installation for the
|
|
libraries and sources; libraries are now first built in the local directory
|
|
where the source has been downloaded and unpacked; and will be later-on installed
|
|
in the specified installation area (requiring <TT>root</TT> priviledges if
|
|
necessary).

|
|

<B>Migration for usage of the <TT>G4VParticleChange</TT> class</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
An interface change to the class <TT>G4VParticleChange</TT> is implemented
|
|
in Geant4 7.0. Advanced users, who have implemented a physics process should
|
|
be aware that the following methods have been removed:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
void SetTrueStepLength(G4double truePathLength);
|
|
void SetLocalEnergyDeposit(G4double anEnergyPart);
|
|
G4TrackStatus GetStatusChange() const;
|
|
void SetStatusChange(G4TrackStatus status);
|
|
void SetSteppingControl(G4SteppingControl StepControlFlag);
|
|
void SetParentWeight(G4double);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
They have been replaced by the following methods, respectively:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
void ProposeTrueStepLength(G4double truePathLength);
|
|
void ProposeLocalEnergyDeposit(G4double anEnergyPart);
|
|
G4TrackStatus GetTrackStatus() const;
|
|
void ProposeTrackStatus(G4TrackStatus status);
|
|
void ProposeSteppingControl(G4SteppingControl StepControlFlag);
|
|
void ProposeParentWeight(G4double);
|
|
</PRE>

|
<B>Step limitation</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
A user now needs to change his/her code, in order to limit the step size of a
|
|
particle -- when using the class <TT>G4UserLimits</TT> to limit the step.
|
|
|
|
Up to the previous release, step limitation due to the maximum step length
|
|
of <TT>G4UserLimits</TT> was directly done by <TT>G4SteppingManager</TT>,
|
|
while all other limits (<TT>maxTrackLength</TT>, <TT>maxStepNumber</TT>,
|
|
<TT>MinKinEnergy</TT> and <TT>minRemainRange</TT>) were dealt by
|
|
<TT>G4UserSpecialCuts</TT> process. To solve this inconsistency,
|
|
to simplify the majority of applications which do not utilize the step limitation,
|
|
and to give more usability to the user, we introduce a new
|
|
process <TT>G4StepLimiter</TT> and move the step limitation procedure in
|
|
<TT>G4SteppingManager</TT> to this new process.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The new process, <TT>G4StepLimiter</TT>, limits the step size specified by
|
|
<TT>G4UserLimits</TT>, but will not kill a track.</LI>
|
|
<LI><TT>G4UserLimits</TT> class is kept as it is, and can specify all limits as before.</LI>
|
|
<LI><TT>G4UserSpecialCuts</TT> is kept as it is. This process kills
|
|
a track once the track comes to a limit specified by <TT>G4UserLimits</TT> (as
|
|
it did previously). This provides the user the ability
|
|
to impose one or more kinds of "tracking cuts".</LI>
|
|
<LI>Given no process took place for max step length limitation in the old design,
|
|
<TT>G4StepPoint::GetProcessDefinedStep()</TT> method used to return <TT>NULL</TT>.
|
|
In the new scheme, if a step is limited by the maximum step
|
|
length limitation, this method now returns a valid pointer of <TT>G4StepLimiter</TT>
|
|
process.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
The user who is using the step length limitation MUST include the new <TT>G4StepLimiter</TT>
|
|
process in the physics-list explicitly. This new process may be assigned only to the
|
|
selected particle types (e.g. only to the charged particles) instead of setting it to
|
|
all particle types.<BR>
|
|
No change is required for the user who is NOT using <TT>G4UserLimits</TT> for the
|
|
purpose of maximum step limitation.

|
|
<B>Killing of a particle</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
An advanced user who has created a process with a continuous component
|
|
('AlongStep' action) that can kill or bring a particle to a rest will need to
|
|
review their process implementation.
|
|
|
|
Energy-loss processes no longer change the track status of a charged particle
|
|
as part of their <TT>AlongStepDoIt()</TT> action.
|
|
For a user-defined process with a "continuous" component,
|
|
in order to stop (and thus either kill or bring to a rest in an 'alive' state)
|
|
a particle in its <TT>AlongStepDoIt()</TT> method,
|
|
it is now necessary to propose zero kinetic energy for the particle.
|
|
Alternatively a process can contribute to the particle arriving at zero energy,
|
|
as a result of the action of two or more processes, e.g. energy loss and
|
|
propagation in an electric field (in the transportation process).
|
|
|
|
Once a particle has zero (or less) proposed energy, it is brought to a rest
|
|
and its energy is set exactly to zero.
|
|
If the particle can decay, can be annihilated or generally has one or more
|
|
'AtRest' actions, then another step will be performed that calls these;
|
|
else, the particle is killed.
|
|
The discrete component (or 'PostStep' action) of a process will not be
|
|
performed once the particle has come to a stop.<BR>
|
|
<I>Note</I>: the case of a particle that comes to a rest in a field and is
|
|
then re-accelerated, is not supported at this time.

<TT>G4GeneralParticleSource</TT>. The old UI commands have been kept
|
|
for backward compatibility but will be removed in the future.<BR>

<LI>Get view parameters that the user can force through the vis
|
|
attributes, thereby over-riding the current view parameter:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle drawing_style = GetDrawingStyle (pVA);
|
|
G4bool isAuxEdgeVisible = GetAuxEdgeVisible (pVA);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
Most developers do this anyway, so the removed routine was redundant
|
|
and resulting code is more efficient and transparent.<BR>
|
|
To get colour, the developer can pick up directly from the vis attributes,
|
|
pVA, obtained as above:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
const G4Colour& c = pVA -> GetColour ();
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
or use a slightly less efficient method:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
const G4Colour& c = GetColour (v);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
where v is the visible object.<BR>
|
|
Note that for text, the developer must use a different procedure,
|
|
since the default text colour is determined by the default text vis
|
|
attributes, which may be specified independent of default vis attributes
|
|
of other types of visible objects. A function, <TT>GetTextColour()</TT>,
|
|
is provided and the recommended use is:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
const G4Colour& c = GetTextColour (text);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
which picks up the default if none.</LI>
