| 28 | |
---|
| 29 | 1. Supported and Tested Platforms |
---|
| 30 | --------------------------------- |
---|
| 31 | |
---|
| 32 | o SUN Solaris 5.8, C++ 5.4 Patch 111715-02. |
---|
| 33 | o Linux, gcc 2.95.2, gcc 3.2. |
---|
| 34 | This configuration was tested with the RedHat 7.3 distribution, |
---|
| 35 | versions of Geant4 have also been compiled successfully on other |
---|
| 36 | Linux distributions, like Debian or Suse. |
---|
| 37 | The default RedHat compiler gcc-2.96 distributed in RedHat 7.X is NOT |
---|
| 38 | supported. It has been verified that it produces incorrect binaries, |
---|
| 39 | therefore is not reliable. See also note below. |
---|
| 40 | o Windows-2000/XP and CygWin Tools with: Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 5 |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | Platforms configured but not tested and not supported: |
---|
| 43 | o DEC V4.0, cxx C++ V6.1-027 |
---|
| 44 | o HP 10.20, aCC C++ B3910B A.01.23 |
---|
| 45 | o SGI V6.5.5, CC 7.2.1 |
---|
| 46 | o AIX 4.3.2, xlC 6.0 |
---|

---|
| 48 | o Windows/XP with CygWin Tools, .NET Visual Studio C++ 7 |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
| 51 | 2. AIDA and CLHEP |
---|
| 52 | ----------------- |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | Geant4 5.2 requires the installation of CLHEP |
---|
| 55 | (http://cern.ch/clhep/INSTALLATION/clhep.html). |
---|
| 56 | Tests have been performed with CLHEP 1.8.0.0. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | Geant4 5.2 examples with histogramming cowork with AIDA 3.0 implementations. |
---|
| 59 | These include: |
---|
| 60 | - ANAPHE and components included therein |
---|
| 61 | (see: ANAPHE - http://cern.ch/anaphe) |
---|
| 62 | - JAS (Java Analysis Studio) |
---|
| 63 | (see: JAS - http://jas.freehep.org) |
---|
| 64 | - Open Scientist |
---|
| 65 | (see: Open Scientist - http://www.lal.in2p3.fr/OpenScientist) |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | AIDA headers can be downloaded from: |
---|
| 68 | http://aida.freehep.org |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
| 70 | |
---|
| 71 | 3. The Standard Template Library |
---|
| 72 | -------------------------------- |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | Native versions of STL have been tested on the following platforms: |
---|
| 75 | |
---|
| 76 | Windows/2000, Linux, and SUN. |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
| 78 | NOTES: |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | - Platform specific setup: |
---|
| 81 | o SUN: Native STL is required for ISO/ANSI setup. |
---|
| 82 | o Linux: Native STL is required (non ISO/ANSI setup for egcs compiler only). |
---|
| 83 | o Windows: Native STL and ISO/ANSI setup required. |
---|
| 84 | |
---|
| 85 | |
---|
| 86 | 4. Compiler Specific Problems |
---|
| 87 | ----------------------------- |
---|
| 88 | |
---|
| 89 | o Linux Red Hat 7.X, gcc-2.96. |
---|
| 90 | |
---|
| 91 | - The default compiler distributed by Red Hat since release 7.0 is |
---|
| 92 | NOT supported and not considered reliable for running a Geant4-based |
---|
| 93 | application. In more than one test case, binaries produced by gcc-2.96 |
---|
| 94 | have shown incorrect behavior, either due to wrong order of |
---|
| 95 | initialisation of static data in memory or to bugs in the system |
---|
| 96 | iostream classes, problems which apparently have all been solved in |
---|
| 97 | more recent versions of the compiler (3.X series). |
---|
| 98 | For information, gcc-2.96 is a compiler that has never been |
---|
| 99 | officially released, nor supported by the GNU team itself and is not |
---|
| 100 | considered reliable by the authors (for more information, see also |
---|
| 101 | http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html). |
---|
| 102 | |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | 5. Known Run-Time Problems and Limitations |
---|
| 105 | ------------------------------------------ |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | For a complete list of outstanding run-time problems and to submit any |
---|
| 108 | problem you may find running this version of Geant4, please refer to the |
---|
| 109 | Geant4 Problem Reporting System, available on the Web at this address: |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
| 111 | http://cern.ch/geant4/problemreport |
---|
| 112 | |
---|
| 113 | |
---|
| 114 | 6. Compilation Warnings |
---|
| 115 | ----------------------- |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | There are compilation warnings on some platforms. We do not believe |
---|
| 118 | that any will lead to incorrect run-time behaviour, but we are working |
---|
| 119 | on reducing them. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | |
---|
| 122 | 7. Known Run-Time Warnings |
---|
| 123 | -------------------------- |
---|
| 124 | |
---|
| 125 | The following messages can be written to error output while tracking. |
---|
| 126 | We believe none give rise to incorrect behaviour. |
---|
| 127 | |
---|
| 128 | o G4PropagateInField: Warning: Particle is looping |
---|
| 129 | - tracking in field will be stopped. |
---|
| 130 | It has performed 1000 steps in Field while a maximum of 1000 |
---|
| 131 | are allowed. |
---|
| 132 | |
---|
| 133 | |
---|
| 134 | 8. Features at Run-Time |
---|
| 135 | ----------------------- |
---|
| 136 | |
---|
| 137 | o In the propagation in field, the default value of "maximum step count" |
---|
| 138 | has been changed from 10000 to 1000. |
---|
| 139 | This will cause more particles to be recognised to loop earlier (see |
---|
| 140 | section 7 of these notes) as this parameter controls this behavior too. |
---|
| 141 | |
---|
| 142 | |
---|
| 143 | 9. Items for migration of user code |
---|
| 144 | ----------------------------------- |
---|
| 145 | |
---|
| 146 | o With this release, usage of the obsolete 'g4std' wrappers has been removed |
---|
| 147 | from the code and wrappers themselves are now hard-coded to STL headers. |
---|
| 148 | User code making use of these wrappers will still compile and run as |
---|
| 149 | normal, however, we encourage to migrate the user code at the earliest |
---|
| 150 | convenience. |
---|
| 151 | From the -next- public release (and development/beta releases), wrappers |
---|
| 152 | and definition of 'G4std' will be removed, therefore making the migration |
---|
| 153 | of the user code mandatory: |
---|
| 154 | - Any reference to G4std:: will have to be changed to std:: |
---|
| 155 | - Any #include statement of the kind |
---|
| 156 | #include "g4std/XXX" |
---|
| 157 | will have to migrate to standard C++ calls of the kind |
---|
| 158 | #include <XXX> |
---|
| 159 | o The new data sets for low-energy EM processes G4EMLOW2.2 is required |
---|
| 160 | for applications making use of such processes. |
---|
| 161 | |
---|
| 162 | |
---|
| 163 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
---|
| 164 | |
---|
| 165 | List of changes and fixes |
---|
| 166 | ------------------------- |
---|
| 167 | |
---|
| 168 | These are the main new features/fixes included in this release since the |
---|
| 169 | last patched public release (for the detailed list of fixes/additions, |
---|
| 170 | please refer to the related History files): |

| 174 | ------------- |
---|
| 175 | - Made build of STEP and STEPinterface modules optional. Added flags |
---|
| 176 | G4LIB_BUILD_STEP/G4USE_STEP. By default the libraries will not be built. |

---|
| 178 | defined in all supported compilers. |
---|
| 179 | - Removed flag G4USE_STD_NAMESPACE from specific setups in sys. |
---|
| 180 | Follows migration from G4std and STL header wrappers apported in |

| 181 | the whole code. |
---|
| 182 | - Removed obsolete usage of GNU_GCC specific option for g++ compilers. |
---|
| 183 | - Modified mechanism for building shared libraries to include symbols |
---|
| 184 | from external libs like OpenGL, ... so libraries will be self-contained |
---|
| 185 | concerning their dependencies. |
---|
| 186 | - Added UI32LIBS to interactivity.gmk to handle UI libraries on WIN32 |
---|
| 187 | platforms and added libraries for OpenGL and UI to default setup of |
---|
| 188 | WIN32-VC and WIN32-VC7. Removed some obsolete compilation options. |
---|
| 189 | - Added more strict compiler options for warnings on Linux-g++ platform. |
---|
| 190 | - Added missing module Bertini-Cascade to list of libraries for |
---|
| 191 | compound build. |
---|
| 192 | |

---|
| 196 | |
---|
| 197 | o Electromagnetic Processes (Low-energy): |
---|
| 198 | -------------------------------------- |
---|
| 199 | - Requires a new version of the data-set: G4EMLOW2.2. |

---|
| 207 | - Fixed compilation warnings on Linux-g++ for higher-lever diagnostics. |
---|
| 208 | |
---|
| 209 | o Electromagnetic Processes (Standard): |
---|
| 210 | ------------------------------------ |
---|
| 211 | - Fixed compilation warnings on Linux-g++ for higher-lever diagnostics. |
---|
| 212 | - Short-lived particles no longer applicable for G4hIonisation and |
---|
| 213 | G4MultipleScattering. |
---|
| 214 | - STD prototype processes: |
---|
| 215 | + Updated initialisation for STD processes: integral Bohr fluctuations. |
---|
| 216 | + Bug fix in cross section at high energies in G4MuPairProductionSTD. |
---|
| 217 | + Removed and replaced obsolete multiple-scattering classes with "model" |
---|
| 218 | variant. |
---|
| 219 | + Fix in SupressionFunction of bremsstrahlung. |

---|
| 227 | the width of the central part now is corresponds to the value |
---|
| 228 | can be computed from the HighLand formula (no change of this |
---|
| 229 | kind for e+/e-) --> small change in the width for low to |
---|
| 230 | medium energy (protons - 1 MeV - few hundred MeV) but change |
---|
| 231 | up to 20 -25 % for high energy. |
---|

---|
| 247 | |
---|
| 248 | o Geometry: |
---|
| 249 | -------- |
---|
| 250 | - management: |
---|
| 251 | o G4LogicalVolume: |
---|
| 252 | + added method ClearDaughters() to be used for resetting the list of |
---|
| 253 | daughters to a logical volume in the use-case when only the physical |
---|
| 254 | volume store is cleared at run-time. |
---|
| 255 | + notify removal of root-logical-volume from G4Region in case of |
---|
| 256 | deletion of a logical-volume from the destructor, instead that from |
---|
| 257 | DeRegister() method. |
---|
| 258 | o GVPhysicalVolume: |
---|
| 259 | + Added pointer to mother logical volume (will replace in future |
---|
| 260 | releases the pointer to mother physical volume) and related accessors. |
---|
| 261 | + Standardised registration mechanism as daughter for constructor using |
---|
| 262 | the pointer to the mother's PV. |
---|
| 263 | o G4PVPlacement/Replica/Parameterised: |
---|
| 264 | + Standardised registration mechanism as daughter for constructor using |
---|
| 265 | the pointer to the mother's PV. |
---|
| 266 | o G4Region: |
---|
| 267 | + Removed redundant calls to ScanVolumeTree() and UpdateMaterials() |
---|
| 268 | from RemoveRootLogicalVolume() method. |
---|
| 269 | o G4LogicalVolumeStore: |
---|
| 270 | + removed redundant check and call to RemoveRootLogicalVolume() from |
---|
| 271 | Clean() method. |
---|
| 272 | o G4PhysicalVolumeStore: |
---|
| 273 | + Added notification mechanism to logical volumes in the Clean() method |
---|
| 274 | to update the list of daughters. |
---|
| 275 | + Update mother's LV list of daughters when deregistering a volume. |
---|
| 276 | - solids |
---|
| 277 | o Made compilation of STEP and STEPinterface modules optional |
---|
| 278 | controlled by variable G4LIB_BUILD_STEP/G4USE_STEP. |
---|
| 279 | By default modules are not built. |
---|
| 280 | o G4ReflectionFactory: |
---|
| 281 | + Made public accessors: GetConstituentLV(), GetReflectedLV(), |
---|
| 282 | IsConstituent() and IsReflected(). |

---|
| 289 | - verification |
---|
| 290 | o G4GeomTestVolume: |
---|
| 291 | + Added methods TestRecursiveLine() and TestRecursiveCylinder() for |
---|
| 292 | allowing recursion on line_test and cylinder_test respectively. |
---|
| 293 | + Introduced ability to control depth and starting level of recursion. |
---|
| 294 | - volumes |
---|
| 295 | o G4GeometryMessenger: |
---|
| 296 | + Added new commands for controlling geometry overlaps: added recursion |

---|
| 301 | force cleanup of voxelisation when command navigator/reset is called. |
---|
| 302 | o G4PropagatorInField: |
---|
| 303 | + Implemented use of safety to reduce calls to navigator. |
---|
| 304 | + Changed the default value of "maximum step count" from 10000 to 1000. |
---|
| 305 | This will cause more particles to be recognised to loop earlier as |
---|
| 306 | this parameter controls this behavior too. |
---|
| 307 | + Added new method FindAndSetFieldManager() to find the current field |
---|
| 308 | manager and set it for the Propagator. The class currently ensures |
---|
| 309 | that this method is always called once for each call to ComputeStep(). |
---|
| 310 | + Added new method SetDetectorFieldManager(), so as to have it updated |
---|
| 311 | when the global field manager is changed. |
---|
| 312 | o G4TransportationManager: |
---|
| 313 | + corrected the method SetFieldManager(). It now messages the current |
---|
| 314 | global PropagatorInField to notify it. |
---|
| 315 | - Fixed compilation warnings on Linux-g++ for higher-lever diagnostics. |
---|
| 316 | |
---|
| 317 | o Global: |
---|
| 318 | ------ |
