hi,

it's probably related to #301.

the following python snippet does not produce the expected configuration:

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import sys
fname = sys.argv[1]
import json
with open(fname) as f:
	d = json.load(f)
        print json.dumps(d, indent=4)

e.g.

$> python2 ./foo.py examples/MQ/6-multiple-channels/ex6-multiple-channels.json
{
    "fairMQOptions": {
        "device": {
            "id": "broadcaster1", 
            "channel": {
                "name": "broadcast", 
                "socket": {
                    "rcvBufSize": "1000", 
                    "method": "bind", 
                    "address": "tcp://*:5005", 
                    "rateLogging": "0", 
                    "type": "pub", 
                    "sndBufSize": "1000"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

while examples/MQ/6-multiple-channels/ex6-multiple-channels.json looks like:

{
    "fairMQOptions":
    {
        "device":
        {

                }
            }
        },

        "device":
        {
            "id": "sink1",
            "channel":
            {

                "name": "broadcast",

                    "rcvBufSize": "1000",
                    "rateLogging": "0"
                }
            }
        },

        "device":
        {
            "id": "broadcaster1",
            "channel":
            {
                "name": "broadcast",
                "socket":
                {
                    "type": "pub",
                    "method": "bind",
                    "address": "tcp://*:5005",
                    "sndBufSize": "1000",
                    "rcvBufSize": "1000",
                    "rateLogging": "0"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

i.e. there are multiple "device" keys.
the same issue exists with multiple "socket" keys and (possibly) with multiple "channel" keys.

also, the "sndBufSize", "rcvBufSize" and "rateLogging" keys are encoded as strings whereas they should be JSON numbers.

I believe we should either don't pretend these configuration files are JSON, or (my favorite option) fix these un-JSON-y files by using "devices", "channels" and "sockets" keys.
(the sndBufSize and cie issue is a nice-to-have one.)

The build of the external packages with debug options don't show this problem.

I ask Fons to run "make Experimental", so that we get the output of the failing test.

Looks like GTest is now an hard requirement for FairRoot compilation. I get:

DEBUG:O2:0:   Could NOT find GTest (missing: GTEST_LIBRARY GTEST_INCLUDE_DIR

Is that intended?

when building FairRoot using an install directory (~/FairRoot) the Tuturial3 does not work:

cd ~/FairRoot
. bin/config.sh
cd share/fairbase/example/Tutorial3
mkdir data
root
root [0] .L run_sim.C

[FATAL ] [25.02.2014 11:49:25] For later analysis we write a core dump to core_dump_32535

Running in the build directory seems to work:

cd ~/FairRootSrc
. build/config.sh
cd example/Tutorial3

note data/ already exists and run_sim.C is in macro/

root
root [0] .L macro/run_sim.C

FairRootManager::OpenOutFile("data/testrun.root")
[INFO ] Media file used : /Users/rdm/FairRootSrc/example//geometry/media.geo
[INFO ] ============== FairRunSim: Initialising simulation r

The tutorials should work in any case. Obviously there is a problem with some PATH, or the problem is in the config.sh.

There are IMO a few issues with FindPythia6:

if (Pythia6_LIBRARY_DIR)                                                                            
  SET (Pythia6_LIBRARY_DIR Pythia6_LIBRARY_DIR-NOTFOUND)              
endif (Pythia6_LIBRARY_DIR)

unset a variable and leads in my cases to the weird behaviour that Pythia6 is found on the first cmake pass but not on a second. (This happens with the o2.sh recipe in AliceO2).
Why is this done?

2. It does not look for libraries on the MAC (ending .dylib)

3. It does not use an environment variable 'PYTHIA6_ROOT' as further hint to find things (as is for example done with PYTHIA8

In multiple places in FairMQChannel there is undefined behaviour due to the fact once an exception happens, an error message is printed and then the flow continues, without a proper return statement. How is that supposed to work?

The custom CMake Module FindProtobuf is missing the protobuf_generate_python command.

This custom module does not seem to be necessary at all, I deleted it from <FairRoot-Install-Dir>/share/fairbase/cmake/modules/FindProtobuf.cmake and the
build-in module from CMake took over and found the FairSoft-installed protobuf without problems.

Compilation of pandaRoot failed with an error in FairParGenericSet that the copy constructor was implicitly deleted because the default definition would be ill-formed.

Please see attached debug output:

The MC entry number in the event header has changed by +1 in contrary to older implementations. This causes problems with FairLinks becaus they now point to wrong event numbers if FairEventHeader::GetEntryNumber() is used to generate the FairLinks.

I have just installed the latest versions of FairSoft/FairRoot from the git repositories, on a Ubuntu 14.10 box. My shell is csh.
When I do
$ source [path_to_installation]/bin/FairRootConfig.csh
to setup FairRoot, I get the following error:
[path_to_installation]/bin/check_system.csh: No such file or directory.
In fact, check_system.sh is there, it looks as though check_system.csh was forgotten in the installation step.

Do we need to have (any) function in FairMultiLinkedData_Interface virtual?

It seems I can only include event display files/headers when Geant3 was found.

It would be nice if I could use event display files even without this requirement. The only file in the eventdisplay folder which uses Geant3 is FairMCStack. The latter is nowhere used within FairRoot and does not seem to be related to displaying events. Can we maybe just remove it completely or move the file somewhere else?

Hi
Would it be possible to remove the tutorial 5 ( link to FairDB ) from the next FairRoot distribution.
Thanks in advance.

Fons:
I want to clean all packages and rebuild in default mode. How do I do that. Now I just rm -rf dec13 and svn co everything again. Would be nice to have "./configure.sh clean" or distclean.

There is already a shell script make_clean.sh which should do the job.

Test if the script is doing the correct thing.

Hi FairRooters,

to analyze the test beam data of the MVD of PANDA the data is read in via an ifstream using boost::binary_iarchive. It is then analyzed with PandaRoot and stored using the FairRootManager.

This method causes a crash in the new implementation of the FairRootManager in FairRootManager::InitSource() because here a fRootFileSource is required which does not exist.

In the old version of FairRoot it was possible to run it without an input file.

Is it possible to add this functionality again to FairRoot or should the data be readin in a different way?

Cheers,

Tobias

Fairroot correctly figures out that the compiler is capable of c++1y features, but then uses 'fairsoft_config' which adds std=c++11 to the cxx flags. With that configuration the ::std::experimental::basic_string_view cannot properly compile.

A solution is to go back to fair_config and change the value of _cxxflags to ' -std=c++1y'.

The tutorials assumes that a data directory exist and try to write the output files there, if this directory is not there it crashes on MAC OSX

hi,

for fun (TM) I implemented a little Go based device (a sink) dialing some tcp address (over nanomsg) and printing back the message content.

It's here: https://github.com/sbinet-alice/go-ex-sink-mq

would there be interest in having such an example be incorporated into the port-folio of FairRoot examples ?
(I can flesh it out some more and have state-machine checks)

and just to make sure everything is also working in a slightly more complicated setting, I also created:
https://github.com/sbinet-alice/go-ex-processor-mq

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is already available somewhere, if so, please give me a hint where to look. Anyways: I have the case that I want to rerun the simulation chain with different settings (more specifically, disable the FairLinks to see the difference, but this shouldn't affect the feature request).

Ideally, I could use the same random seed for EvtGen to generate the same events. So far, I didn't set this in my simulation macro, therefore I don't have access to the seed used.

My request would be to store the used seed somewhere (simparams.root maybe?) and make it accessible in case one would like to rerun with the same events.

Thanks,
-Andre

I ran into a problem with find_package(GTest) after updating.
After commit 46ce442 the main CMakeLists.txt correctly calls find_package without the REQUIRED flag, while it is called with REQUIRED flag in fairmq/test/CMakeLists.txt, which I suppose is also correct if BUILD_TESTING is set.

I suggest to handle the checks already in the top level CMakeLists.txt accompanied with a descriptive fatal error, e.g. GTest is required for BUILD_TESTING. This can guide much faster to the underlying problem.

IMHO, it would be good practice to remove any environment variable from CMake related macros / CMakeLists.txt. This is because we do not necessarily want to require the environment set after cmake $BUILDDIR is done.

I get a:

fairmq/logger/run/testLogger.cxx|29 col 15 error| invalid operands to binary expression ('basic_record_ostream<char_type>' and '__iom_t4<char>')

whenever I have something of the kind:

LOG(INFO) << std::setfill('*')

and similar. This is on a Mac using clang and boost 1.59. Any idea of what might be wrong?

Dear FairRooters,

I get the following error message when I call make install in my build folder of FairRoot:
CMake Error at fairtools/cmake_install.cmake:56 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/home/ikp1/stockman/fairroot/FairRootGit/FairRoot_build/lib/libFairTools.so.0.0.0".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake_install.cmake:60 (INCLUDE)

After make this lib is still there but it vanishes when I call "make install".

I called cmake out of the build directory with the following command:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ikp1/stockman/fairroot/FairRootGit/FairRoot_build -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE ../FairRoot

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong?

Cheers,

Tobias

Hello.

Is there any plan to use newer version of ROOT, ROOT6?
which means FairSoft has to include gcc 4.8 for linux system.

FairSoft dec13 already isn't considering to use 32bit system.
One simple macro can install gcc 4.8 as an external package I think.

Do you have any plan?

Fons:

Thomas is one of the few csh users ;-) and there seems there is an error in
build/config.csh:

setenv Linux_Flavour_ "Darwin 13.0.0"
setenv System_ "x86_64"
source /Users/rdm/FairRoot/build/bin/check_system.sh
if [ "$same_system" == "1" ]; then

first the path of check_system.sh is wrong (correct in config.sh), should be:

source /Users/rdm/FairRoot/build/check_system.sh

but more importantly, we would need a check_system.csh version.

Check the script and correct the error.

Hi, this is on centos7, gcc4.8.5

When a broken/buggy macro is executed, a big dump of Fairroot header source code is printed. It is cumbersome to scroll up for finding the actual error message.

I accidentally specified a channel address for a device with out the protocol, just the port number. This is correctly detected at device start

[ERROR] invalid channel address: "55000" (missing protocol specifier?)

But then there is a segmentation violation in FairMQDevice::LogSocketRates()

Looks like the refactoring of the CMakeLists.txt also got rid of libfair_logger, thus breaking the AliceO2 compilation. Is there any recommended way on how to fix this for both the tagged (v-17-3) and the dev version?

Hi,

Trying to use the DDS control and config plugins (like in 3-dds example), I get a crash of my device

terminate called without an active exception
./mch-digit-fake-generator.sh: line 6:  1924 Aborted                 (core dumped) alienv -w /home/dds/alicesw/run3/sw setenv O2/latest -c mch-digit-fake-generator --id mch-digit-fake-generator --control libFairMQDDSControlPlugin.so --config libFairMQDDSConfigPlugin.so --mq-config /o2control/mch-digit.json

I've narrowed it down to the initialisation of the config plugin in tools/runSimpleMQStateMachine.h, as far as I can tell. Looks like the fairmqControlPluginptr is null, but the dlerror is not.

Is there already a unit test or something alike to check just the loading/init of the plugin(s) ? If not, how one should go to contribute such a test (yes, I'm willing to give it a try ;-) ) ? Are there some docs on how to contribute some tests to fairmq (or FairRoot in general) ?

I'm working on CentOS7 (docker container).

Thanks,

I have a problem compiling after #67.

Linking CXX executable ../../bin/fileSinkBin
../../lib/libMbsAPI.so.0.0.0: undefined reference to `f_ut_utime'

make[2]: *** [bin/fileSinkBin] Error 1
make[1]: *** [example/Tutorial3/CMakeFiles/fileSinkBin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Not sure why that fails when linking fileSinkBin, since I don't seem to use the f_ut_utime, at least not directly, maybe something from the sink (fair)root code? The only place I find it used in fairbase is in MbsAPI/f_evt.c.

To make it work I had to add the source file for f_ut_utime in MbsAPI/CMakeLists.txt. I took source and header from the master branch and it worked.

After rebasing to latest dev I cannot run PandaRoot simulation any longer.
Here is the error message:

I have been browsing through the FairRoot web page and came to the release information page on github. I then tried to reach it from the FairRoot home page on github, but I did not find any button or pointer. I suggest to include a link to README.md

https://root.cern.ch/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22057&p=96516#p96516

I know ROOT 6.06.06 is not officially supported in FairRoot now, but i leave it here for future use.

I don't know what causes the problem is, but somehow ROOT 6.06.06 crashes if I load any classes (let's say A) derived from FairRoot without loading any one of FairRoot classes (B) prior to A.

That is, Just loading B crashes. It should be A -> B.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you in advance.

building with 7d66a66 (via AliBuild) I get:

also, the way the examples/advanced/GoTutorial/CMakeLists.txt file is written, it will build the binaries go-sink and go-processor during cmake configure instead of during make.

my cmake-fu is still very weak.
how would one create a proper target for these binaries ?

Review the member structur of FairLink. Try to optimize the memory footprint.
Probably a few fields can be encoded in smaller types, packed into one single int, or using bitsets.

As a user I would expect that I do not have to know about the network interface where I want to run. Right now fairmq/options/FairMQProgOptions.cxx uses eth0 which is only valid on a limited set of linux distributions but not on Mac or in general. A better behaviour is probably to select the interface of the default route.

It would be a nice to have a stl iterator API for FairMQParts, so that one can do:

for (auto && part : parts) {
  char * data = part->GetData();
  ...
}

(I couldn't find the answer to this question anywhere in the fairmq tree...)

why does the FairMQDevice class have a field:

class FairMQDevice : public FairMQStateMachine, public FairMQConfigurable {
public:
std::unordered_map<std::string, std::vector<FairMQChannel>> fChannels; ///< Device channels
};

more explicitly:

• why is it public?
• why is it a map of strings to a vector channels? (and not just a map of strings to channels?)

thx.

I use FairRoot v-14.11 with external packages jul14p3.
In the build directory of jul14p3 are (in my case) two lib directories "lib" and "lib64".
The config.sh of fairroot v-14.11 adds just "lib" to the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and not the "lib64".
Due to this my software crashes because i need the libprotobuf from the "lib64" directory.

Is this suppose to be like that or is the directory missing?

Fails with:

CMake Error at examples/advanced/GoTutorial/cmake_install.cmake:31 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot find

Notice I do have go on my system and GOPATH is set correctly.

After the change of the FairRootManager the BranchList only contains the branch names of the branches registered in this run (e.g. all digi branches) but not any longer the branch names of the input file (e.g. sim branches).
This causes massive problems with the usage of FairLinks because the method FairRootManager::GetBranchId(BranchName) returns in most cases -1 which breaks the links.

I have:

I cannot actually find where zeromq is now added to the include path...

Hi.

I'm writing a software using the latest FairRoot.
I tried to narrow the range of energy loss of proton.
So, after run -> Init() command of FairRunSim object, I added

((TGeant4 *) gMC) -> ProcessGeantMacro("post.in");

Inside the post.in file is

/process/eLoss/minKinEnergy 10 MeV
/process/eLoss/maxKinEnergy 400 MeV

Then, the simulation codes gives an error as below.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'

Is this VMC problem? I tried the same thing with the extended example of GEANT4, TestEm5, and all worked fine with it.

Thank you in advance.

I was looking at:

https://github.com/FairRootGroup/FairRoot/blob/dev/examples/MQ/1-sampler-sink/ex1-sampler-sink.json

and it occurred to me this is not valid JSON. This is because you have a dict with two keys which are identical and the behaviour is undefined as the parsing order is implementation dependant. Maybe we should change it to a list? I.e.:

   "devices": [
     {"id": "sampler", ...  },
     {"id": "sink", ...}
   ]

Hi.

After I updated xquartz to 2.7.7 and 2.7.8 beta 1, I see the error below when I open the event display window on Mac.
All the source codes are on Linux and I'm only using GUI with x forwarding.

All goes well with XQuartz 2.7.6 version, so I think this problem is caused by something in the new version of XQuartz.
So, I opened a ticket on xquartz page.
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/2056#comment:4

If you have any comment or clue for solving this problem, please share it.

Please consider to make the folder name 'cbmroot' configurable.
Perhaps in the same way as it is done for the tree name using the file
config/rootmanager.dat

The installation of the dev branch fails on machines with older boost versions (< 1.56) because of a missing header file. Here is the cmake output:

CMake Error at fairmq/logger/cmake_install.cmake:39 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/Users/Stockmanns/PandaSoftware/FairRoot/fairmq/logger/logger_oldboost_version.h".

The files which are created by default by Tutorial3/macro/run_sim.C and run_digi.C
are called
testparams_TGeant3.root and
testdigi_TGeant3.root

but the startAll.sh script expects files named

testparams.root
testdigi.root

Due to this is the example with startAll.sh not working without editing the file.
