Autobuild & Code Sanity

This page will contain results from code-sanity tools i.e. tools checking for code syntax, memory leak, profiling etc ... and tips on how to correct those problems.
Most, if not all, pages here are generated automatically. If you encountered an error in the formatting, please send me a note ...

 



AutoBuild

AutoBuild is a tool which automatically builds/compiles our libraries based on what has been committed during the day. From time to time, please consult those pages and remember the following guideline for code submission into the repository :

  • Code submitted to cvs must compile and run under Linux platform.
  • Compilation should not give any serious warnings.

AutoBuild is self documented, just type AutoBuild.pl -h for all command line options.

AutoBuild behavior may be altered using directives. Directives are tags (key=value pairs) to be placed in a configuration file. The configuration file name is .ABrc_$^O where $^O is the string returned by the perl command % perl -e 'print $^O'. The following directives are allowed. If you have multiple values for one directive, each should be on a separate line.

  • SKIP_DIRS=XXX
    Excludes XXX from compilation, this directive will be passed to cons (the build system in STAR). This works only for directories.
    Example:
    SKIP_DIRS=StEbyePool
     
  • CO_DIRS=XXX   
    This directive forces the full tree to be CVS check out. Normally, AutoBuild only updates trees (which means that new sub-directories would not appear by defaults). This directive only works on directories and should not be used extensively as it is resource intensive (re-check out the entire directory).
    Example:
    CO_DIRS=StRoot/StEEmcPool
     
  • EX_DIRS=XXX     - This directives indicates that the item XXX (already present and deployed) should be ignored from CVS UPDATE. Practically, AutoBuild will rename the item XXX to a temporary name and restore. This directive works on files or directories.
    Example:
    EX_DIRS=StChain
     
  • #
    Not a directive per-se, this is indicate the start of a comment (the rest of the line is ignored)
    Examples: 
    SKIP_DIRS=StJetmaker  # Disabled 2008/07/23
    # the following lines are for blabla
    
     

 


Valgrind

Valgrind is a flexible tool for debugging and profiling Linux-x86 executable. The tool consists of a core, which provides a synthetic x86 CPU in software, and a series of "skins", each of which is a debugging or profiling tool.For more information valgrind, check its documentation page and the quick How to use valgrind.

 


Quick guide to run cppcheck

% cppcheck --force --enable=information StRoot/ 

In his mode, you will see all errors as it finds it.

 


Quickly running coverity

Nothing quick about it here as you will need to compile your code and generate the report ... But here is what you will need to do

  • Add the coverity path to your PATH 
    % set COVPATH=/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/x8664_sl6/app/coverity-7.6.0
    % set path=($COVPATH/bin $path)
    % rehash
  • Run a build using cov-build command. In the below command, the coverity output and results go into to a temporary directory named $MYDIR/covtmp
    % cov-build --dir $MYDIR/covtmp cons -k
  • "Analyze" the results (i.e. it will relate errors with one another)
    % cov-analyze --dir $MYDIR/covtmp --all -j auto
  • Finally, generate the HTML report
    % cov-format-errors --dir $MYDIR/covtmp  --filesort -x  --title "Bla" --html-output $MYDIR/html
Not very convenient, I suggest you use the automatically generated report above.

 

STACK_USE

Coverity uses an arbitrary limit for the checking of a single variable size allocation. This default is 10000 bytes and far too small. In C/C++ only the total number of bytes for the whole stack is relevant and this is provided by the value of stacksize (provided by the shell limit command). Our dashboard will analyze the report using a max_total_use_bytes equal to the return value stacksize from the limit command and 1/10th of that value for a single variable allocation. Any excess will be reported as a defect but may not be.

Practically, add similar options to cov-analyze command:

  • --checker-option STACK_USE:max_total_use_bytes:10240000  --checker-option STACK_USE:max_single_base_use_bytes:1024000
  • ...

Profiling, Valgrind Results

Run-time - sorry, runtime profiling results were removed (nobody looked at them and it used lots of resources).

Profiling using gprof

    Sti
    StiPlacement.cxx, StiPlacement.h - new constructor added, it defines ALL variables of the class, directly, indirectly or by default. If radius is negative, it becames positive with modification of angle +=PI. In normal case user doesn't need to define all other parameters but he still can do it;

    minor edits for consistency across StXXXDetectorBuilders:
    - switched to the same names as in StiPxlDetectorBuilder;
    - switched to the natural numbering scheme as in StiPxlDetectorBuilder;
    modified to use the center sensor (or the one close to the center) to build the unified sensor layer in Sti;
    removed ionization from StiMaterial constructor as it is not used anywhere including energy loss calculations;
    refactored gas material definition (For the gas surrounding the detector we use air properties as defined in global geometry manager. If the AIR material is not available we use default hardcoded properties);
    modified to switch to StiMaterial constructor that accepts the radiation length as is. The description of the constructor is very poor but there is no need to multiply it by the density;
    removed debugging function used for testing of manually modified volumes;
    modified to access transformation matrices directly via StIstDb object;
    modified to remove useless assignments and redundant variables; removed deprecated calls to dummy methods;
    set detector group Id at detector builder level. The detector Id-s for individual Sti detectors are set when the detector is added to the builder;

    removed pointless check for valid gas surrounding detectors in this builder;
    modified to append new Sti detectors to the end of detector container, and use ladder id to index sector slots;
    removed warning for extremely unlikely exception when a new StiDetector is not constructed by Sti detector factory. Such situations need to be treated in a way other than simply issuing a warning;
    removed never used variable, forward declarations, and header includes;
    made minor stylistic changes for consistency across PXL, IST, and SST detector builders;
    modified to define placement for sensitive IST layers in a way consistent with PXL and SSD detector builders;
    fixed loop over ladders since we use human friendly numbering starting with 1;
    implemented simplified Sti geometry for inactive material in IST;
    modified to increase density of manually constructed IST brackets in Sti;
    removed output debug messages as they can be easily replaced by a single call to 'StiDetectorBuilder::Print()';

    StiIstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder.h - removed definition and addition of "hybrid" material because it is not used anywhere ;
    refactored silicon material definition for sensitive layers (Only silicon material is used in construction of sensitive layers. As with the gas we first try to use the material definition in the global geometry manager. If the SILICON material is not available we use default hardcoded properties );
    added flag similar to PXL to build ideal geometry for IST and SST. By default (buildIdealGeom = false) the database transformations are used in all StiXxxDetectoGroup-s;
    added parameter to choose IST detector builder. This is justified by the requirement of backward compatibility. The user can choose the appropriate option in case there is a need to reconstruct the data using an older detector builder;
    removed methods which will not be used by the new builder;
    added a couple of helper methods to ease manual construction and placement of inactive volumes;
    instead of setting StiDetector parameters in a local private method switched to using new interface provided by StiDetector update (method 'setter()' ), the refactoring took place for both sensitive and inactive volumes;
    added an accessor to access active StiDetectors, i.e. volumes which may have hits associated with them;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder.h, StiIstDetectorGroup.cxx, StiIstDetectorGroup.h - minor stylistic changes in comments;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder1.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder1.h - added new files to save current version of StiIstDetectorBuilder in order to by maintain 100% backward compatibility. The user may choose to construct the IST detector with the older version by simply propagating an option to StiIstDetectorGroup. StiIstDetectorBuilder1 inherits from StiIstDetectoBuilder to avoid duplicate code. Removed implementation of inherited methods and other irrelevant declarations;
    StiIstHitLoader.cxx, StiIstHitLoader.h - removed useless data members;
    StiIstHitLoader.cxx - simplified debug output by reusing existing streamers of StHit class and its daughters; removed excessive print statements;
    modified to use the accessor for sensitive Sti detector/volumes;
    StiPxl
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx - modified to use the global transformation enrolled all the way to the top node instead of local transformation to the first mother volume;
    modified to use the center sensor (or the one close to the center) to build the unified sensor layer in Sti;
    removed ionization from StiMaterial constructor as it is not used anywhere including energy loss calculations;
    refactored gas material definition (For the gas surrounding the detector we use air properties as defined in global geometry manager. If the AIR material is not available we use default hardcoded properties);
    modified to switch to StiMaterial constructor that accepts the radiation length as is. The description of the constructor is very poor but there is no need to multiply it by the density ;
    removed deprecated calls to dummy methods;
    modified to resize the detector container (std::vector) when new detectors are added;
    set detector group ID at detector builder level. The detector ID-s for individual Sti detectors are set when the detector is added to the builder;
    modified to use the middle sensor on the ladder to extract alignment corrections from DB;
    removed unutilized code;
    removed warning for extremely unlikely exception when a new StiDetector is not constructed by Sti detector factory. Such situations need to be treated in a way other than simply issuing a warning;
    removed never used variable, forward declarations, and header includes;
    made minor stylistic changes for consistency across PXL, IST, and SST detector builders;
    attempted to make a clear translation between the natural (sector/ladder/sensor) and Sti numbering schemas;
    instead of setting StiDetector parameters in a local private method switched to using new interface provided by StiDetector; the refactoring took place for both sensitive and inactive volumes;
    removed output debug messages as they can be easily replaced by a single call to 'StiDetectorBuilder::Print()';
    switched to method that converts geo sensor id to Sti layer indices;
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlHitLoader.cxx - modified to split PXL sensitive layers in two halves. The change should help to avoid track backward steps in Sti due to ill ordered volumes in r and phi;
    modified to avoid setting StiDetector members _key1 and _key2 as they are not really used anywhere;
    re-implemented segmentation of PXL sensor to two halves: in the sensor's local coordinate system the first half is for x<0 and the second one is for x>0. The notion of inner and outer halves is not critical and in fact confusing because it depends on the original rotation around the z axis;
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlDetectorBuilder.h - removed definition and addition of "hybrid" material because it is not used anywhere;
    refactored silicon material definition for sensitive layers (Only silicon material is used in construction of sensitive layers. As with the gas we first try to use the material definition in the global geometry manager. If the SILICON material is not available we use default hardcoded properties );
    added a private method to convert natural/geo sensor id to Sti layer indices;
    added an accessor to access active StiDetectors, i.e. volumes which may have hits associated with them;

    simplified debug output by reusing existing streamers of StHit class and its daughters; removed excessive print statements;
    StiSsd
    StiSstDetectorBuilder.cxx - removed ionization from StiMaterial constructor as it is not used anywhere including energy loss calculations;
    refactored gas material definition (For the gas surrounding the detector we use air properties as defined in global geometry manager. If the AIR material is not available we use default hardcoded properties);
    refactored 'useVMCGeometry()' to build sensitive Sti layers in the same way as in PXL and IST detectors;
    created model of SST inactive material using the mother volume;
    modified to switch to StiMaterial constructor that accepts the radiation length as is. The description of the constructor is very poor but there is no need to multiply it by the density ;
    redefined StiMaterial for the segmented SST mother volume (SFMO) ;
    modified to use transformation matrices for sensitive layers from database when non-ideal geometry is requested ;
    modified to adjust material properties for the modified SFMO volume. Scaled the density to match the increase in the inner radius (to avoid overlap with sensitive layers);
    modified to use different names for SFMO end tube volumes;
    modified to avoid using the material averaging routine as the inactive material is entirely constructed by hand;
    created 9 tubes (Sti detectors) to describe the material distribution in SST;
    increased the inner radius of the central tube by 0.85 cm to avoid overlap with sensitive layers. Scaled the density of this volume accordingly by keeping mass constant;
    modified to resize the detector container (std::vector) when new detectors are added;
    set detector group Id at detector builder level. The detector Id-s for individual Sti detectors are set when the detector is added to the builder;
    modified to append new Sti detectors to the end of detector container, and use ladder id to index sector slots;
    modified to use the middle sensor on the ladder to extract alignment corrections from DB;
    made minor stylistic changes for consistency across PXL, IST, and SST detector builders;
    removed output debug messages as they can be easily replaced by a single call to 'StiDetectorBuilder::Print()';
    modified to avoid setting of StiDetector members _key1 and _key2 as they are not really used anywhere;
    StiSstDetectorBuilder.h - removed never used variable, forward declarations, and header includes;
    changed helper function declaration to static;
    StiSstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiSstDetectorBuilder.h - removed definition and addition of "hybrid" material because it is not used anywhere;
    refactored silicon material definition for sensitive layers (Only silicon material is used in construction of sensitive layers. As with the gas we first try to use the material definition in the global geometry manager. If the SILICON material is not available we use default hardcoded properties );
    added a private method to split the SST mother volume into three tubes;
    modified to use object with direct access to database (mSstDb) instead of StSsdBarrel similar to PXL and IST detector builders;
    removed deprecated method and calls to dummy methods;
    added parameter to choose SST detector builder;
    removed method 'segmentSFMOVolume' because the inactive material is now built manually in 'buildInactiveVolumes';
    added a private helper function hopefully as a temporary solution before StiDetector is modified;
    instead of setting StiDetector parameters in a local private method switched to using new interface provided by StiDetector, the refactoring took place for both sensitive and inactive volumes;
    StiSstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiSstDetectorBuilder.h, StiSstDetectorGroup.cxx, StiSstDetectorGroup.h - aded flag similar to PXL to build ideal geometry for IST and SST. By default (buildIdealGeom = false) the database transformations are used in all StiXxxDetectoGroup-s;
    minor stylistic changes in comments;
    StiSstDetectorBuilder1.cxx, StiSstDetectorBuilder1.h - added new files to save current StiSstDetectorBuilder in order to maintain 100% backward compatibility; removed deprecated calls to dummy methods;

    added method to access transformation matrix for a given IST ladder/sensor pair;
    StIstDb.cxx - modified 'getter()' for sensors transformation matrix to accept ladder and sensor id-s using human friendly numbering starting with 1. The input values outside of possible ranges will return a null pointer;
    corrected mapping of ladder/sensor to global aggregate sensor id (The global sensor index (id) used in the 'istSensorOnLadder' DB table spans the range from 1001 to 1144. This bug was reported by Michael Lomnitz and fixed now);

    StMtdQAMaker.cxx, StMtdQAMaker.h - modified to use (leadTimeW+leadTimeE)/2 instead of 'leadTimeW' for MTD hit time;
    StMtdSimMaker
    StMtdSimMaker.cxx, StMtdSimMaker.h - modified to use localz and time-of-flight information from GEANT to determine the leading times on east and west sides for MC MTD hits. With this change, the localz of the MC hits can be calculated exactly the same as the regular hits;

Exception is the inner and outer wedge.  These overlap each other, and need

to be flagged as such.

assembly flag on the volume, enabling AgML to create the volumes as an

assembly instead

asps/Simulation/starsim/atmain/agxuser.age

Added SIMU flag to options for gprint.

mgr/agmlParser.py

Add profiling option to AgML parser

mgr/Dyson/Export/AgROOT.py

    The incoming version of the FTS geometry takes ~30min to convert from

AgML to the compilable "cxx" files, signifincatly longer than other

geometries.  Conversion to "age" files does not take notiably longer

than other geometries.

     Running the python profiler on AgML identifies the "replacements()"

function as the leading time consumer.  This function performs a

number of text searches using python's regular expression module.

Several regex's are processed on each line of XML code which agml

parses.  The result is a significant slow down as some fairly complicated

regexs must be compiled over and over again.

This commit adds two guard statements, which perform a fast check to

see if the line in question needs to be tested against the expensive

regular expressions.

    To verify that these changes have no impact on the code, I performed

a unix diff on the ".cxx" and ".h" outputs, comparing before and after

this change.  There were zero differences found

mgr/Dyson/Syntax/SyntaxHandler.py

Remove print statement added in last commit.

pams/sim/g2t/g2t_fts.F

  • October 28, 2004,
    library SL04k has been created on .sl302_gcc323 and .rh80_gcc32 platforms, tested and released November 3.

    Main features of the library:
    - StEmcADCtoEMaker code has been completely reshaped, the new improvements are:

    • Code is much smaller and easier to read

    • It now reads DAQ files, StEvent and MuDstFiles

    • No need for StMuDst2StEventMaker (but this still works)

    • StEmcCollection that is created is plugged into muDST so the user can read the emcCollection directly from muDST (use the method StMuDst::emcCollection())

    • Crate status are properly filled in StEvent and StMuDst

    • Maker does not decide if event is corrupted or not, it just zeroes the corrupted crates. It is up to the user to check the crateStatus in StEvent (StMuDst) and make a decision

    • StEmcADCtoEMaker now depends on StEmcRawMaker

    - new maker StEmcRawMaker has been created to replace former StEmcADCtoEMaker in production. It reads only DAQ structures and write output in StEvent
    - StMuDSTMaker has been reshaped. The main functional changes concern the Emc and Pmd data structures.

    • for EMC flags were added to signal corruption of crate headers

    • points and clusters are no longer copied from StEvent, because they are recalculated during analysis anyway

    • for Pmd the possibility to store hits (single-channel information) was added

    • some changes to the internal logic has been made which will allow to read some Emc (and Pmd) branches more selectively

    • fixed the problem with StMuIOMaker (there was no emc collection)

    - Significant improvement for ITTF code has been made related to ratio of good/bad global tracks

    • Sti: StiKalmanTrack.cxx/h, StiKalmanTrackFinder.cxx/h, StiKalmanTrackFitter.cxx, StiKalmanTrackNode.cxx/h, StiTrackFinderFilter.cxx/h, StiLocalTrackMerger.cxx, StiPlacement.cxx - various changes to improve track quality

    • Star/StiStarDetectorBuilder.cxx - modified to make pipe longer

    • StiMaker: StiStEventFiller.cxx/h - changes related to track quality improvement

    Other changes in the codes not related to the above modifications:
    - StBFChain
    StBFChain.cxx - changed emcDY2 to a new meaning (runs StEmcRawMaker instead of StEmcADCtoEMaker), added emcAtoE option to run StEmcADCtoEMaker

    - StarRoot
    THelixTrack.cxx/h - bug fixed

    - pams/geometry
    geometry/geometry.g - moved filling of GDAT to the end of code, in this case main Zebra bank is properly populated
    Y2004B geometry changed to activate the sisdgeo1
    Y2005X geometry is created which is same as Y2004B but with the full barrel calorimeter
    sisdgeo/sisdgeo1.g - improved structure of the code by replacing hardcoded numbers with variables which encapsulate formulas
    radius of the mother volume has been changed to conform with the shield of the SVT

Documentation for EVAL library branches

StiHFT_1b branch tag

  • October 29, 2014
    branch StiHFT_1b of DEV library has been created under EVAL library name.

    Next codes have been updated:

    StRoot
    StarRoot
    THelixTrack.cxx, THelixTrack.h - rewritten version of THelixTrack. Main algorithm was not changed, changed only selection of coordinate system. Old approach, based on few points was not stable enough. New approach is based on construction of 2d matrix of and calculation of eigen vectors. New coordinate system is based on these vectors. It is more stable because not a few points are used but all of them. Performance should not be changed;
    Sti
    StiCompositeTreeNode.h - removed not used definition;
    StiDetector.h - added 'insideL()' mode and 'inside()' for the global space point;
    StiDetector.cxx - in method 'insideL()' suppressed all checks, apart from X or Rxy; in method insideL() also added check for environment variable "insideAssert", if it is not defined 'insideL()' always returns 1 to avoid asserts in production;
    added mode 'StiDetector::insideL(const double xl[3],int mode=0)';
    added new method 'StiDetector::inside(..)' to check global points;
    changed the mode in inside(s) means now 1 + 2 + 4 == chackX(or R) + checkY(or Phi) + checkZ ;
    StiDetector.cxx, StiDetector.h - method 'setProperty()' added;
    method 'getCenterX()' added. It returns some X value of shape in local coordinate. When, after refit, track is missing detector, we still keep this node. Now point of node is dca point to (centerx,0) and parameters with errors are calculated in this point;
    modified to rename inside(...) to insideG( ) to show that arguments are global;
    StiDetectorBuilder.h - added new method AverageVolume. It uses TGeo volumes for averaging. The old method uses TGeoPhysical volumes;
    method AveMate added to calculate average material; method MakeAverageVolume replaced the old one, to keep the same user interface;
    updated to account 'MANY' & 'SENSitive';
    made methods 'void AverageVolume(TGeoPhysicalNode *nodeP)' and 'int AverageVolume(const char *fullPath)' not virtual anymore;
    added method 'int Diff(const char *path, const StiDetector *sVolu)', t compares the TGeoVolume with StiDetector and returns 0 if everything is correct;
    method AveMateR added which does the same as AveMate but using random points; correct all "MULTY" accounted properly; for method 'diff()' added mode '0=AveMate' ;
    changed inside (..,mode) mode=1+2+3 check X+Y+Z;
    set cpp flag to keep ofl average temporary;
    StiDetectorBuilder.cxx - added seed comments; replaced printf to Error() and Warning(); fixed bug in evaluation of si zes of averaged volumes; added Error messages in case 'MANY' and 'sensetive' ;
    modified to move down check for determinant==1; assert for 'Geant Weight == StiWeight' temporary removed;
    method 'Diff' was added, it checks for random space points which belongs to TGeoVolume;
    added test for reflection, reflection is legal in Geant but was not accounted in Sti volume averaging, fixed;
    eigen values normalized per number of points (8);
    method AveMateR added which does the same as AveMate but using random points; correct all "MULTY" accounted properly; for method 'diff()' added mode '0=AveMate' ;
    modified to check inside all boundaries;
    modified to rename inside() ==> inside();
    StiDetectorBuilder.h, StiDetectorBuilder.cxx - added new method to save graphic structure of Sti geometry into file to draw it afterwards ;
    StiDetectorContainer.cxx - removed TPC oriented check, which does not allow usage of non Tpc hits in Seed finders, now all hits could be used in Seed finders; replaced assert with warning;
    StiKalmanTrackFinder.cxx - made in layer loop getNormalRadius() ==> getLayerRadius(); modified to use only normalRadius for ordering; two loops now used to search volumes;
    - 1st one searching only active volumes;
    - 2nd one searching non active volumes, when 1st loop was useless;
    This is activated ONLY when environment variable "activeNonActiveLoop"=1;
    Assert added to check that Rxy>=Rnormal (related to bug #2915);
    'nudge(hit)' added after hit setting to move node to hit;
    modified to change getNormalRefAngle ==> getLayerAngle in find();
    modified to change OpenAngle ==> OpenAngle/2 in find();
    modified to change kEnded ==> kFailed;
    StiKalmanTrackNode.cxx - assert added for tubes Rxy == Rnormal (bug #2915); added check for Hz, Hz==>fabs(Hz) to account negative Hz; added check for cos>1 ;
    modify to distinguish planar and cylindrical shapes in 'Propagate to volume' (fixed bug #2915); method 'nudge()' was rewritten, for complicated cases THelixTrack used. Check for kFarFromBeam put back (was removed by mistake);
    modified to use linear approximation in 'nudge()' if shift < 0.01 curvature;
    method propagate(double xk, ...) rewritten to account cases which was omitted in previous version as non important;
    removed over complicated and not used logics of "edges" :
    - kEdgePhiPlus, kEdgeZminus, kEdgePhiMinus, kEdgeZplus,
    - kMissPhiPlus, kMissZminus, kMissPhiMinus, kMissZplus,
    and use instead only:
    kFailed = -3, kTooFar = -2, kEnded = -1, kHit = 0
    best solution saved into mygP and myFP, and only at the end the best is into mgP and mFPcopied;
    modified to decrease strongness of assert. 1e-4 ==> 1e-3;
    bug fixed sind ==> sind/cosd ;
    modified to replace assert(fabs(mFP._sinCA)<1e-3) -> assert(fabs(mFP._sinCA)<1e-2); it is related to changes in mag field for curvature about 10cm;
    modified to split cylindrical shape into two: full cylinder & sector of cylinder. Full cylinder could be rotated many times, sector can not. Very detailed setting of _state removed, kept only valid or not. 'mMtx' is used only for error propagation, not error rotation. For error rotation used StiNodeErrs::rotate; In StiKalmanTrackNode::isDca() check for detector == 0 added. All inline rotations moved into methods rotate(...) ;
    replaced kFarFromBeam 10 ==> 2 ;
    modified to implement the same rotation for kCylindric & kSector. Angles StiKalmanTrackNode:alpha and StiPlacement::alpha are not the same now;
    replaced 'locate()' ==> 'inside()';
    method insifeG(...) added;
    StiKalmanTrackNode.h - new insides's added; inside(mode) used xyz of node; inside(x,y,mode) used x,y only; inside(x[3],mode) used external x,y,z but locale to this node;
    renamed 'inside()' methods to use 'inside()' & 'inside()';
    StiKalmanTrackNode.h, StiKalmanTrackNode.cxx - new method ['isPrimary()' added; new member '_wallx' added;
    StiLocalTrackSeedFinder.cxx - assert removed, it was related to tpc hits that can not be closer in x than 1e-3, added instead 'if (dr<1e-4) return false';
    StiHits.cxx - modified to make larger tolerance (>= 1mm) for hits out of volume boundary;
    StiMaterial.cxx - added ionization=1946;
    StiPlacement.cxx - cleanup;
    removed defaults in setNormRep, moved to constructor;
    StiTrackNode.cxx - introduced more accurate selection of correct solution in 'cylCross';
    asserts with 'sign()' of error matrix commented out;
    method 'cylCross()' rewritten again to account more cases;
    'recov()' method modified;
    added loop while(err matrix non positive), decrease correlations;
    modified to decrease maximum correlation from 0.99 ==> 0.999 ;
    StiTrackNode.h, StiTrackNode.cxx - StiNodeErrs::rotate() added;
    StiVMCToolKit.h, StiVMCToolKit.cxx - added new method 'LoopOverVolumes' which is based on TGeo (not TGeoPhysical ); old one is kept, but due to different signature, is not called'
    updated to account 'MANY' & 'SENSITIVE';
    StiCylindricalShape.h - cleanup;
    introduced two cylindrical shapes: kCylindrical for full cylinder and kSector for cylindrical sector;
    StiKalmanTrack.cxx - in method 'refitL()' added additional loop to test nodes for inside/outside; for debugging call of 'nudge()' added to move node position onto detector plane, if failed node defined as invalid;
    in method 'refitL()' check for inside() lead to stop tracking which was wrong, now it was fixed and if track after refit missed the volume tracking was not stop;
    removed any influence of 'nudge()' to refit;
    removed 'getNearBeam()' method and use 'dcaNode()' instead;
    'Assert' for accuracy decreased from 1e-6 to 1e-4; if inner node not found, return with error; 'Assert' added when found Xi2 > maxXi2 after refit;
    test for vertex replaced by test for detector;
    StiKalmanTrack.h - removed 'getNearBeam()' method;
    StiKalmanTrackFinder.cxx - assert inside() added instead of previous tube check;
    StiTrackNodeHelper.cxx - fixed bug caused by that energy loss was not defined in the case of Vacuum;
    added account of tube shape in propagation;
    modified propagatePars to use zero path if track missed volume after refit;
    bug fixed sind ==> sind/cosd ;
    method 'StiTrackNodeHelper::propagatePars' splitted into old one 'propagateParsA()' and new one 'propagateParsB()' temporary. New method rotates only cylindrical shape, not sector one, as it was before;
    added test for 'isPrimary()' ;
    StiTrackNodeHelper.h - renamed all the class variables adding 'm' at the beginning to avoid misinterpreting;
    StiTrackNodeHelper.cxx, StiTrackNodeHelper.h - introduced '_wallx';

    removed ionization from StiMaterial constructor as it is not used anywhere including energy loss calculations;
    refactored gas material definition (For the gas surrounding the detector we use air properties as defined in global geometry manager. If the AIR material is not available we use default hardcoded properties);
    modified to switch to StiMaterial constructor that accepts the radiation length as is. The desctription of the constructor is very poor but there is no need to multiply it by the density;
    removed debugging function used for testing of manually modified volumes;
    modified to access transformation matrices directly via StIstDb object;
    removed deprecated calls to dummy methods;
    set detector group ID at detector builder level. The detector ID-s for individual Sti detectors are set when the detector is added to the builder;
    modified to resize the detector container (std::vector) when new detectors are added;
    modified to use the middle sensor on the ladder to extract alignment corrections from DB ;
    modified to get sensitive IST volumes from the global TGeoManager in a manner similar to PXL and SST detector builders;
    removed pointless check for valid gas surrounding detectors in this builder. The gas is set right in this class anyway;
    renamed a bunch of local variables just to be consistent with the other detector builders;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder.h - removed definition and addition of "hybrid" material because it is not used anywhere ;
    refactored silicon material definition for sensitive layers.Only silicon material is used in construction of sensitive layers. As with the gas we first try to use the material definition in the global geometry manager. If the SILICON material is not available default hardcoded properties are used;
    added flag similar to PXL to build ideal geometry for IST and SST. By default (buildIdealGeom = false) the database transformations are used in all StiXxxDetectoGroup-s;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder.h, StiIstDetectorGroup.cxx, StiIstDetectorGroup.h - minor stylistic changes in comments; removed unused and irrelevant included headers; got rid of std namespace;

    defined placement for sensitive IST layers in a way consistent with PXL and SSD detector builders;
    removed never used variable, forward declarations, and header includes;
    removed warning for extremely unlikely exception when a new StiDetector is not constructed by Sti detector factory. Such situations need to be treated in a way other than simply issuing a warning;
    removed methods which will not be used by the new builder;
    appended new Sti detectors to the end of detector container, and use ladder id to index sector slots;
    added parameter to choose IST detector builder. This is justified by the requirement of backward compatibility. The user can choose the appropriate option in case there is a need to reconstruct the data using an older detector builder;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder1.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder1.h - added new files to save current version of StiIstDetectorBuilder in order to maintain 100% backward compatibility. The user may choose to construct the IST detector with the older version by simply propagating an option to StiIstDetectorGroup. StiIstDetectorBuilder1 inherits from StiIstDetectoBuilder to avoid duplicate code. Removed implementation of inherited methods and other irrelevant declarations;
    StiIstDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiIstDetectorBuilder.h, StiIstHitLoader.cxx, StiIstHitLoader.h - updated with commits made to main CVS on Jan 06 :

    - simplified debug output by reusing existing streamers of StHit class and its daughters;
    - cleaned up forward declarations to include only the used classes; removed useless data members;
    - removed output debug messages as they can be easily replaced by a single call to StiDetectorBuilder::Print();
    - instead of setting StiDetector parameters in a local private method switched to using new interface provided by StiDetector; the refactoring took place for both sensitive and inactive volumes;

    StIstDbMaker
    StIstDbMaker.cxx - replace endl -> endm in STAR Logger messages;
    StIstDb.cxx, StIstDb.h, StIstDbMaker.cxx, StIstDbMaker.h - modified getter for sensors transormation matrix to accept ladder and sensor id-s using human friendly numbering starting with 1. The input values outside of possible ranges will return a null pointer;
    added flags to indicate DbMaker readiness; return fatal if database tables are not found;
    added method to access transformation matrix for a given IST ladder/sensor pair; set class version to 0 in order to avoid IO dictionary generation by ROOT's CINT. STAR makers are not persistent;
    clean-up coding style;
    StIstDb.cxx - corrected mapping of ladder/sensor to global aggregate sensor id. The global sensor index (id) used in the istSensorOnLadder DB table spans the range from 1001 to 1144 ;
    StIstUtil
    StIstClusterCollection.cxx, StIstClusterCollection.h, StIstCollection.h - modified to reflect changes in StIstDbMaker;
    StiPxl

    refactored gas material definition (For the gas surrounding the detector we use air properties as defined in global geometry manager. If the AIR material is not available we use default hardcoded properties);
    modified to switch to StiMaterial constructor that accepts the radiation length as is. The desctription of the constructor is very poor but there is no need to multiply it by the density ;
    removed deprecated calls to dummy methods;
    set detector group ID at detector builder level. The detector ID-s for individual Sti detectors are set when the detector is added to the builder;
    modified to resize the detector container (std::vector) when new detectors are added;
    modified to use the middle sensor on the ladder to extract alignment corrections from DB ;
    removed unutilized code;
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlHitLoader.cxx - modified to split PXL sensitive layers in two halves. The change should help to avoid track backward steps in Sti due to ill ordered volumes in r and phi;
    StiPxlHitLoader.cxx - modified to use local x rahter than row number to distribute hits into different half ladders;
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlDetectorBuilder.h - removed definition and addition of "hybrid" material because it is not used anywhere;
    refactored silicon material definition for sensitive layers (Only silicon material is used in construction of sensitive layers. As with the gas we first try to use the material definition in the global geometry manager. If the SILICON material is not available default hardcoded properties are used);
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlDetectorBuilder.h, StiPxlDetectorGroup.cxx, StiPxlDetectorGroup.h - minor stylistic changes in comments; removed unused and irrelevant included headers; got rid of std namespace;
    StiPxlDetectorBuilder.cxx, StiPxlDetectorBuilder.h, StiPxlHitLoader.cxx StiPxlHitLoader.h - updated with commits made to main CVS on Jan 06 :
    - attempted to make a clear translation between the natural (sector/ladder/sensor) and Sti numbering schemas;

    - simplified debug output by reusing existing streamers of StHit class and its daughters;
    - switched to method that converts geo sensor id to Sti layer indices;
    - added a private method to convert natural/geo sensor id to Sti layer indices;
    - cleaned up forward declarations to include only the used classes; removed useless data members;
    - removed output debug messages as they can be easily replaced by a single call to StiDetectorBuilder::Print();
    - instead of setting StiDetector parameters in a local private method switched to using new interface provided by StiDetector; the refactoring took place for both sensitive and inactive volumes;
    - re-implemented segmentation of PXL sensor to two halves. In the sensor's local coordinate system the first half is for x<0 and the second one is for x> . The notion of inner and outter halves is not critical and in fact confusing because it depends on the original rotation around the z axis. - modified to avoid setting StiDetector members _key1 and _key2 as they are not really used anywhere;
    StiSsd
    StiSstDetectorBuilder.cxx - removed ionization from StiMaterial constructor as it is not used anywhere including energy loss calculations;

    refactored useVMCGeometry() to build sensitive Sti layers in the same way as in PXL and IST detectors;
    created model of SST inactive material using the mother volume;

    created 9 tubes (Sti detectors) to describe the material distribution in SST;
    modified to increase the inner radius of the central tube by 0.85 cm to avoid overlap with sensitive layers; scaled the density of this volume accordingly by keeping mass constant;

Library release structure and policy

Introduction

The below policy is a revised document from the initial policy instated in STAR at the beginning of its software development phase in February 2000.

Four canonical versions of the STAR software are provided at any given time. Those are dev, new, pro, and old. These canonical versions evolve in time i.e. it is understood that the content of (for example) new today is not fixed and likely to be different within some time frame (and following the above release policy and procedure). Two additional areas are described for completeness but are NOT canonical in the sens that their usage and meaning may evolve without prior warning nor discussion. Purpose and policy for each version is described below.

The official STAR software releases are otherwise named SLXXY where XX is a year number and Y is a letter from a to z. Those releases are fixed (and should not be changed or patched unless exceptional circumstances not described in this policy - patch should be in those cases rare and under a strict control and validation procedure).

There are no other official areas than the one mentioned herein. Please, consult the table below for additional information.

Notes, primary and secondary environment


The supported STAR software platforms, October 2017:

  • Primary Environment: Scientific Linux 7.3 using gcc 4.8.5 version supporting 32 bits (mandatory for code developers ; compilation in optimized and non-optimized). Goal is to enable 64 bits under this OS.
  • Secondary Environment: Scientific Linux 6.4 using gcc version 4.8.2/32 bits; we assume no necessary support for 64 bits and only the non-optimized version will be assembled.
  • As before, switching to the 64 bits environment is achieved by using the command '% setup 64bits' and similarly, '% setup 32bits' - however, the 64bits environment is still not expected to work properly (Geant3 based simulation will not work, ROOT based analysis will).


Previous support from summer 2015:

  • Primary Environment: Scientific Linux 6.4 using gcc version 4.8.2/32 bits (mandatory for code developers ; compilation in optimized and non-optimized
  • Secondary Environment: Linux RedHat 5.3 using gcc  4.8.2 - unification of compiler should make integration easier.

Past support before 2015:

  • Primary Environment: Scientific Linux 6.4 using gcc version 4.4.7/32 bits (mandatory for code developers ; compilation in optimized and non-optimized)
  • Secondary Environment: Linux RedHat 5.3 using gcc  4.3.2 (recommended for code developers ; compilation requirement reduced to non-optimized mode)


The supported STAR software platform as per 2009/2011 were:

  • Primary Environment: Scientific Linux 5.3 using gcc version 4.3.2/32 bits (mandatory for code developers ; compilation in optimized and non-optimized)
  • Secondary Environment: Linux RedHat 4.4 using gcc  3.4.6 (recommended for code developers ; compilation requirement reduced to non-optimized mode)
  • Other OS/Compiler used
    • Scientific Linux 5.3, gcc 4.3.2/64 bits mode - please, use the command '% setup 64bits' to switch to this environment and try compiling. As per April 20th 2011, the count-down for making this alternate compilation one of the primary environment had begun. Policy effective due date: July 20th.
    • Scientific Linux 5.3, gcc 4.5.1/32 bits may be used at a later time to leverage advanced C++ features (SIMD, Threads)


While multi-platform and/or multi-compiler impose a constraint on the developer, the procedure ensures portability and easier evolution to later version of the compiler. Time given in the library definitions section are in EST time, i.e. they correspond to the Tier0 (BNL) site local times.
 

Library definitions

Note: Infrastructure developers are mandated to work from private areas and not directly from a deployed canonical version (unless otherwise mentioned). However, full testing of a given engineered solution, ready to be deployed, may require a full library re-compilation. Whenever needed, this shall not occur without approval, advanced notice and Email announcement by the software librarian.


Version

.dev and adev

Usage and scope

Leading edge development versions, for core software developers only

Guarantees

While we appreciate feedback, there are absolutely no functional guarantees (compilation or runtime) for those areas. If you chose to work with this area, it is at your own risk.

Description

Changes to code by the core software group do not go directly into dev, but into one of .dev or adev within the following restrictions/scope:
1. For infrastructure changes (such as ROOT version changes and evaluation, new features, interface changes and developments etc ...) .dev is used which NO ONE outside the core infrastructure group should be using. .dev is a main area of work used by the core infrastructure team and manipulation of code in this area do not require approval from the Software librarian.
2. If a patch deployment and testing to dev (and as described in the next section) OR a minor adjustment not requiring compilation and test are needed, adev may be used for its testing and evaluation. In all case, the operation must be completed before 11 PM every day. The tight relationship between adev and dev is described above. Changes are restricted to either the Software Librarian, the Infrastructure leader or higher authority.

Patching Policy

N/A in .dev
Must be complete by 11 PM for adev

Release Policy

For adev, code must compile on the primary and secondary platforms.

At the end of the first and third week of each month (on Thursdays and whenever applicable), major changes to .dev may be checked in CVS and consequently propagate into dev by the next day. These commits should be made only after successful testing of .dev . The new dev environment is tested against code developers activities for the following week allowing for subtle adjustments not initially envisioned.


Version

dev

Usage and scope

Version containing the latest developments of code modules in the repository.

Guarantees

This environment was released upon successful compilation of approved code on the main supported production platform and compiler in both optimized and non-optimized. There are no compilation guarantees for other compiler/platforms.

Description

Although code is this area are likely to be buggy (or at least, not fully tested), they contain the latest algorithms and structures being worked on by the user and sub-system developers.

Submission of code to the repository is frequent (daily). An effort to exclude major technical problems must be made by developers, but it is understood that behavior of code can not be all guaranteed. However, all code checked in by developers should be tested for basic operation prior to check-in in CVS that is,
1. Compiling and running using the dev library and the mandatory supported platform and/or supported compilers
2. Basic test conducted by the developers for assuring the code actually runs
3. QA histograms are affected in the correct way or developer test suite shows satisfactory result and/or improvement.

Note:
Since 2002, dev is also used during data acquisition periods for regular and automated snapshot productions called FastOffline productions. While the same quality assurance procedure applies (must compile prior to check-in, must check if it runs), and emphasis is made to preserve sanity of this area at all cost. Especially, committing to CVS code/libraries not previously checked for compilation will lead to its removal from daily compilation as well as from any chain related to that code and used in the FastOffline production. Removed code/libraries will not be put back into operation (compilation and production) until code is demonstrated to be compilable and stable that is, passing the basic quality assurance requirement as stated above.

The following schedule is used for updates to dev: it is updated automatically by the AutoBuild script starting from the adev area and the procedure will start daily at 11 PM. This procedure do not send any Email notice automatically. It will however execute the following steps:
1. Every day at 11 PM, AutoBuild updates all code currently available in dev with its (newer) counterpart available in the CVS repository and as committed during the day. There is NO automatic check out of new code, code trees or libraries: they are added on a per request basis upon which they are susceptible to all quality and policies requirements previously stated.
2. The AutoBuild procedure attempts to compile in non-optimized and optimized mode respectively under the primary environment conditions. This operation is transparent to the users of dev.
3. Shall the compilation succeed, dev is “released” that is, the area become automatically visible to the users. Note that this does not warrant a working library as checks are the responsibility of the developers.
4. Other supported platform and/or compilers compilation are made after a successful primary environment based release which, in turn, implies a 24 hours behind update on the secondary environment (and other platforms). Secondary environment functional operation are required.

Functionality tests of dev are made every night by running a small number of events (~ 50) through the most common full production chains and detector geometries on the primary environment. Several data output format will be provided (supported data-summary-tape format, histograms, Micro-DST and/or other supported formats, ...) for both real and simulated data and span over a range of data source (centrality, species, etc ...). Such provision may be based on the result of the nightly tests, test suite made at Tier0 and Tier1 sites as achievable. Those tests are targeted toward eliminating gross errors, possible remaining crashes, obvious memory leaks etc ...

Patching Policy

Bugs will be reported by the QA or Software Librarian to the software code/ component/ sub-system responsible person. The given component should be fixed within a week as well as within development guidelines specified above.

Release Policy

On the second and forth week of each month (on Thursdays and whenever applicable), dev is tested with a larger (and more complete) test suite over the week-end. The test suite would remain the same apart from the statistics (at least 200/500 events). Basic test should be successfully run on the secondary platform. Shall all tests perform according to expectations, the content of dev is a candidate for propagation and re-build of new. Thus, under normal circumstances, dev is moved to new on a bi-weekly basis.

Note that there are no mention of tagging at this stage although it may be more practical to use this mechanism for code propagation.

The migration of dev to new should be discussed at the Software and Computing meeting on Wednesday and requires positive approval from the Software Librarian and the QA/QC team (validation tests must pass).

Shall it be approved, the migration may proceed the following day.


Version

new

Usage and scope

A relatively stable (weeks old) version for full integration testing, detailed QA, and public use by people needing a near leading edge version of the code.

Guarantees

Code compiles on at least two platforms and/or compiler versions and has passed basic nightly tests QA criteria.

Description

A new version is released to allow further tests in a relatively stable and QA-ed environment. More developed QA procedures may include a desired set of on-going user analysis and sample productions.

Patching Policy

Identified bugs and engineering of a solution addressing a given problem may be using the new environment for stability purposes. In such case:
(a) relevant test must be successful in new
(b) the solution MUST also be evaluated in the dev environment prior to commits into CVS

Release Policy

Within the next two weeks period (as driven by the migration dev to new), this area may (or may not) be migrated to pro as follow:
1. If all quality checks on all supported platforms and compilers are passed successfully and no major problems are reported by users (analysis, developers), and after discussion and prior announcement, it will be released as the pro version. Hence, following the migration of dev, this migration from new to pro may occur as frequently as once every two weeks.
2. If a data production has been announced, a base sample as described by the QA procedure will be made in new. Shall the time period for PWG approval be passed without major functional problems encountered, new may become pro without further modifications.
3. If a data production and migration to pro is envisioned, embedding runs must be tried in that version, necessary macro fully operational.

Shall the tests not be successful or satisfactory (unexpected results from QA), either a patch will be engineered or the new version will be replaced at the next scheduled migration of dev to new. Therefore, new changes on a more rapid cycle than the pro version, so any given new version may or may not make it to pro.

A version that is not migrated to pro will be kept for a short period of time (of the order of a week) to allow people to migrate away from it on their own schedule. During this period it can be used via % starver <em>version</em> command, e.g. % starver SL04a.

If the bug fixes are successful an official tag is generated for the release. If not, a tag does not have to be generated until the next dev to new release, as long as this will happen within the next two weeks. If production have been run from the release, it must be tagged for reproducibility.


Version

pro

Usage and scope

The current production version

Guarantees

All components of the software are tagged and frozen for a production release, so that the release uniquely defines a stable, reproducible configuration.

Description

This level is a tagged and QA-ed version of the software library. It is used by production. The pro version is created from the latest new version at the time of the release.

Patching Policy

Whenever production has started, the only changes to a pro release will be to fix important bugs that impair functionality supposed to work in the release. Such fixes will be announced, discussed, documented immediately and scheduled with advance notice. Such fixes must be exceptional (and typically related to a critical component such as IO) as Physics content must identified prior to this stage. Should a grave Physics issue be identified, a new pro version should be released from new (see next paragraph).

A new migration from new to pro is preferable to a retag of pro. However, shall the CVS retag be necessary (such case may arise if new contains code functionally incompatible with pro), the corrected versions will be identified by adding "_n" to the version number (e.g. SL04a_1 for the first corrected version). “n” will be an incremental number depending on the previous patch level. The tags and sub-sequent related tags will be clearly documented. All code (functional and patched) will be re-tagged with the XXX_n level tag, thus, leading to a consistent bulk CVS tagged library version. A patch made in pro must be applied to the dev and new versions (same compatible patch or modified for the more recent environment to correct the targeted problem). All corrections to pro version should also be applied to the current dev,new versions in an appropriate way.

Modifications will never be made to a production release to add new functionality, change base code (ROOT or base classes) or fix functionality not yet operational when the release was made. If users want to have access to new functionality that has arrived since the release, they either need to use a newer version (new, dev) or wait for a new pro release containing the functionality.

Shall the procedure for QA procedure mention for the release of new be used for the migration new to pro, production cycle should not be restarted but a new later release of pro scheduled. Production would then resume from the new release, created following the same new to pro release policy.

Release Policy

When a pro version is retired, becomes the old version.

Proposed change

“any change to the production code should be reflected in the library tag”

Version

old

Usage and scope

The previous successful production release.

Guarantees

All quality checks mandated by pro.

Description

Previous old versions can be retrieved by the CVS tag. Old versions are not supported any longer (there are no bug fixes applied) but are preserved and retrievable by the software librarian.

Production level sub-system code or core software infrastructure developments should NOT be done with any old version of the library

Patching Policy

Patches are NOT allowed at this level

Release Policy

There are no existing canonical releases beyond that level


 

 

OS Upgrade

This page will provide information on caveats after specific OS upgrades. Please, refer to this information of you encounter problem as described.

Scientific Linux 4.4 from 3.0.5


Natively compiled libraries

Under Scientific Linux 44, the following library versions (and greater) are natively compiled: SL06g, SL07a, SL07b, SL07c, ... etc ... You can safely compile your code and work with those libraries.

Information for site administrators: In order to provide native support, the following tag had to be released
 SL06g -> SL06g_2
SL07a -> SL07a_3
SL07b -> SL07b_2
SL07c -> SL07c_2

Please, update your libraries rec-compile your libraries before and after the upgrade for consistency.

Non natively compiled libraries

There are however no guarantees that a mix of non-natively compiled libraries and natively compiled private code would work. Hence, the instructions below may work for some users but in no case represents a confirmation of full functionality. Especially, if you encounter a symbol mangling issue (symbols not being found in STAR libraries), it would likely be an indication of an incompatibility.

Library SL05e < version <= SL06f

Are supported via backward compatibility links to Scientific Linux 3.0.5 natively compiled libraries.

Information for users/all: the following issues are known:
  • The compiler may spit the following warning while compiling
    error: extra `;'
    This problem appears due to the use of the -pedantic option in our compilation options. Unfortunately, not all the pedantic issues were caught and SL44 compiler is stricter in that regard.
    To circumvent this problem, either fix your user code or use the following recipe - the example is given for STAR Library SL05c (please adapt for other libraries) ; this needs to be done only once
    cvs co -rSL05c mgr/
    sed "s/-pedantic //" mgr/ConsDefs.pm >mgr/ConsDefs.pm.new
    mv -f mgr/ConsDefs.pm.new mgr/ConsDefs.pm
    compile as usual ...

Library SL05f < versions <= SL05e

Are supported via backward compatibility link through Scientific Linux 3.0.2 .

Library versions <= SL04f

Are supported via backward compatibility links through RedHat 8.0 .

Instructions for administrators

SL4.4 out of the box may not work for the STAR typical environment and usage. The following issues were identified and need attention:

Kernel parameters adjustments

The following lines need to be added to /etc/sysctl.conf
vm.dirty_ratio = 10
vm.lower_zone_protection = 150
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 500
Default for the last parameter is 500 but left in for consistency as we may need to adjust later. You can always test the changes under a running kernel conditions by instead modifying the equivalent /proc/sys/vm files but the settings would likely be lost at the next reboot unless you set them in sysctl.conf.

echo 150 >/proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection  
echo 10  >/proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
echo 500 >/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
ROOT 5.12.00 and ROOT4STAR adjustments
  1. For creating backward compatibility links in the STAR libraries
    • get a recent copy of the mgr/CreateLinks script (tag SL07d or newer)
    • go to the STAR library versions between L <= SL06f
    • execute the CreateLinks scripts with argument "init"
    Note: do NOT do this in a native library i.e. in any STAR libraries L >- SL06g
  2. Issue with log4cxx and incompatible libstdc++
    An incompatibility between libstdc++ versions was found when running root4star linked under older Scientific Linux (gcc) versions under SL4.4: root4star (backward compatible compiled) loads libstdc++.so.5 and log4cxx (native) loading libstdc++.so.6 . To avoid the issue, the work around is to ensure a copy of an older version of liblog4cxx exists in all backward compatible STAR libraries supporting the logger: this include SL05f < L <= SL06f. The recipe follows
    • Keep a copy of log4cxx from Scientific Linux 3.0.5 on your system before the upgrade. This is located in $OPTSTAR.
    • For each STAR Library L mentioned above, copy your saved liblog4cxx.so in $STAR/.$STAR_HOST_SYS/lib/ and $STAR/.$STAR_HOST_SYS/LIB/
  3. ...

Scientific Linux 5.3 from 4.4

Configuration and RPM list

General configuration

Distribution 

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 5.3 (Boron)

Default compiler version

ATTENTION: The STAR software stack will NOT compile and/or link properly with the default SL5.3 gcc version (it has problems interpreting FORtran codes hence linking will fail in  a few places and running may crash unexpectedly). You MUST upgrade and make 4.3.2 or greater the minimal version number.

% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.2 20081007 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)

To make gcc 4.3.2 the default, you could use the following quick helper script (you do not want to execute this twice)

Special instructions

General

A blog page with compiler and specificities of sharing 32 and 64 bits architecture on the same node was created and accessible at You do not have access to view this node.

Instructions for administrators 

You must save a copy of libmysqlclient.so.14 from an SL44 system and copy it under your SL5 distribution. This is due to the fact that SL5 libmysql is of version 15.0.0 but our older code hard linked to verison 14.0.0 . Hence, if you want support for your old libraries, you must preserve a copy of libmysql.

Similarly, you will need to make a copy of liblog4cxx.so.9 .

Both could be copied in $OPTSTAR/lib/ under the 32 bits deployment.

Scientific Linux 6.2 from 5.3

Configuration and RPM list

General configuration

Distribution 

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 6.1 (Carbon)

Default compiler version

The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.

% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)

Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.

The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.6.3 .

AFS sysname

See Setting up your computing environment for more information related to the sysname. The sysname can be determined by the command

% fs sysname

On sites where the sysname is set to other values than what STAR/RHIC cell expects, please note that you can always set alternate sysname for your systems by using the folowing command (from a privileged account and at boot time):

 % fs sysname -newsys ppc_darwin_80 -newsys foo

The above adds two new sysname to the existsing system's default. This example is provided by the AFS manpages as well as at the bottom of our Setting up your computing environment page.

Special instructions

General

A blog page with compiler and specificities of sharing 32 and 64 bits architecture on the same node was created and accessible at You do not have access to view this node. This page was used since the SL5 32/64 bits transition.

New in SL6 - SIMD

Support for SIMD instructions may appear under SL6 (the large amount of currebt issues still make this a "if" as wide support for our sites will be rendered more difficult). Please note this page: SIMD instruction sets. SIMD instructions support will NOT guarantee ABI compatibility across hardware. THe STAR_HOST_SYS environment variable may be alterred accordingly.

ATTENTION: the introduction of SIMD instructions will also create a secondary issue: compiler bugs related to SIMD instructions are numerous. We hope for this situation to settle as SIMD instruction support matures. Therefore, only strictly approved compilers will be allowed in STAR. Any other minor/major version than the "approved" one cannot be supported. A table of acceptable gcc versions will be maintained on this page (compatibility links will not be created as they used to).

Instructions for administrators 

(TBC)

You must save a copy of libmysqlclient.so.14 from an SL44 system and copy it under your SL5 distribution. This is due to the fact that SL5 libmysql is of version 15.0.0 but our older code hard linked to verison 14.0.0 .

Scientific Linux 6.4 from 6.2

Configuration and RPM list

General configuration

Distribution 

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)

Default compiler version

The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.

% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15)

Our gcc compiler was backward and forward compatible with gcc 4.4.6 by using the devtoolset (repackaged).

Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.

The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.6.3 and we also supported 4.4.7 for an even smoother support.

sysname


The AFS canonical sysname for SL6 is x8664_sl6.

Scientific Linux 7.3 from 6.2

Configuration and RPM list

General configuration

Distribution 

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 7.3 (Nitrogen)

Default compiler version

The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.

% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)


Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.

The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.8.2 (so we connect smoothly with the past 4.8.2/SL6.5 and 4.6.3/SL6.2 library releases) and we also have 4.4.7 so we can go backward as far as SL11).

Specific to our environment

sysname

The AFS fs sysname for those systems is a canonical x8664_sl7.

STAR_HOST_SYS

Since the transition begins at SL7.3, gcc 4.8.5, the new base for STAR software is sl73_gcc485 and sl73_x8664_gcc485 for the 32 and 64 bits versions respectively.
Possible support for variation of SL version / gcc version combinations (each greater than the base) would go through those directories. Possible supports of SL7.x x < 3 and/or gcc versions lower than 4.8.5 would have to be made toward the sl64_gcc482 and sl64_x8664_gcc482 paths instead (in those cases, please fix the AFS sysname to be the one indicated as used for SL6).
 

Noticeable changes from 6.2

  • In the newer perl "." is not included as part of @INC
  • SL7 has no f77 / g77 - users need to be aware of that (or a soft-link for g77 to gfortran created to facilitate the transition)
  • While in previous SL6, we had repackaged libfl (as support for 32/64 was missing) but in SL7, the support is back so there will be NO need to install the BNL RPM (in other words, install SL7 flex packages for both 32 and 64 bits and this will work)

STAR Specific requirements

The C++ coding guide should be consulted for the general standards and allowed/discouraged features in the SRA environment. In addition, the following information are provided
  • Hard-coded numbers within the code must be avoided for portability and maintainability reasons. The use of constants (const) is a valid solution. For values which are likely to change with time, a database approach should be considered. Refer to the database Web page area for more information.
  • For printing messages in the STAR framework use the StMessage message manager package documented here. For all messages from a given portion of code, use a unique string, like:
    { LOG_XXX << &quotStZdcVertexMaker::Init(): in ZdcVertexMaker did not find ZdcCalPars." << endm; }

    where XXX is either

    • DEBUG
    • INFO
    • WARN
    • ERROR
    • FATAL
    • QA

    Then, you can filter in/out the wanted / unwanted messages using the logger filter mechanism. The Logger documentation is available here and its use is encouraged.

  • To exit your code on an error condition in the STAR framework, return one of the STAR return codes (an enum) from your Maker:
    enum EReturnCodes{
      kStOK=0,  // OK
      kStOk=0,  // OK
      kStWarn,  // Warning, something wrong but work can be continued
      kStEOF,  // End Of File
      kStErr,  // Error, drop this and go to the next event
      kStFatal      // Fatal error, processing impossible
    };

    Outside Makers in your application code AND for testing or debugging  conditions that should never happen and indicate disaster if they do, we recommend the use of assert() (it aborts the program if the assertion is false). Don't use exit(). For info on assert() see the man page ('man assert').
    assert() should not be used in official code (apart from rare cases). Generally speaking, it is BAD practice to just abort the program and should be avoided. Better to message an error and propagate up a fatal error flag. Unless your Maker is a fundamental and base maker (DAQ detecting a corruption, db finding an unlikely condition which should really never happen, IO maker not able to stream, ...) the use of assert() is prohibited as a single detector sub-system error shall not lead to an entire chain abort. The use of clear messages with level FATAL is emphasized.

File Extensions

  • C++ header files containing ROOT related code must have the extension .h, the referring source files must have the extension .cxx. This rule is imposed on us by ROOT.

  • Plain C++ header files, i.e. those without ROOT related code have the extension .hh, the source files the extension .cc. Only header files which contains definitions usable in C and C++ may have the extension .h. This is a convention commonly used in HEP (e.g. CLHEP, Geant4).




STAR StRoot makers naming standards

This document attempts to explain

  • the code directory structure and layout in STAR

  • the rules and assumptions triggered in the make system (cons) solely on the basis of the name choice

  • the existing exceptions to the rules

Naming convention in green are user discouraged (proliferation prevention) and such request should be accompanied with a strong reasoning. Items in magenta are obsolete forms (and code) which will disappear and rendered obsolete in a near future. Anything appearing in red should be forgotten immediately as they are forbidden (and were introduced due to unfortunate momentary laps of reason, power surge or extreme special transitional needs).

Why a naming convention ??
Naming convention keeps consistency between code and packages written by many users. Not only it enables users to have a feel for what-does-what but also, it allows managers to define basic default set of compilation rules depending sometimes naming convention. Naming conventions in general are fundamental to all large projects and although N users will surely have N best-solution, the rules should be enforced as much as possible.

The directory structure under StRoot tree

The StRoot/ tree Is of the following form

StRoot/

XXX/

ONLY base class should be freely named. Example: StarClassLibrary, StarRoot, Star2Root

 

StXXX/

A directory tree which will contain a base class many makers will use and derive from.
In this category, XXX can be anything. For example, StChain, StEvent, StEventUtilities

 

St_XXX_Maker/

XXX not being a detector sub-system but a set of character with underscores:

the code is FORtran derived. XXX is a sub-system in a general sens (not necessarily a detector-sub-system)

 

StXXXMaker/

A tree for a Maker, that is, code compiled in this tree will be assembled as one self-sufficient package. A maker is a particular class deriving from StMaker. Its purpose is to run from within a chain (StChain) of makers and perform a specific task.

In this category, sub-name convention are as follow
* StXXXDbMaker a maker containing the database calls for the sub-system XXX (+)
* StXXXSimulationMaker or StXXXSimulatorMaker a simulation maker for the subsystem XXX
* StXXXCalibMaker or StXXXCalibrationMaker a calibration maker for the sub-system XXX
* StXXXMixerMaker a data/simulation mixer code for he sub-system XX
* StXXXDisplayMaker a self-explained named Graphical tool (+)
* StXXTagMaker a maker collecting tags for the sub-system or analysis XX

while XXX is in principle a detector sub-system identification (3 to 4 letters uniquely designating the sub-system), it may also be anything but a detector sub-system (StAssociationMaker, StMiniMcMaker, StDbMaker) or of the form XX=analysis or physics study.

 

StXXXRaw*/

Any directory with named with the word Raw will make our make system include the necessary path for the Run-Time-System DAQ reader files automatically. This convention is additive to any other description and convention herein.

Example: StEmcRawMaker is a "maker" 9as described above) and a code base using the DAQ reader and so would be the expectation for Stl3RawReaderMaker or StFgtRawMaker.

 

StXXXUtil/
StXXXUtilities/

Code compiled in a Util or Utilities tree should be code which do not perform any action (nor a maker) but constitute by itself a set of utility classes and functions. Other classes may depend on a Utility library.
* XXXUtil : XXX IS a sub-system detector.
* XXXUtilities : XXX IS NOT a detector sub-system (this is reserved)

 

StXXXPool/

This tree will contain a set of sub-directories chosen by the user, each sub-directory maybe a self-contained project with no relation with anything else. Each sub-directory will therefore lead to the creation of a separate library. The naming convention for the library creation is as follow :
* If the subdirectory is named like StYYY, the library will inherit the same name. Beware of potential name clash in this case
* If the subdirectory has an arbitrary name YYY, the final library name will be have the name StXXXPoolYYY .
The Pool category has some special compilation internal rules: if it does not compile, it may be removed from compilation entirely. As such, codes appearing in Pool directory trees cannot be part of a production maker dependency. A typical usage for this structure is to provide a Pool (or collection) of lose codes not used in production (utility tools for sub-systems, analysis codes or utilities).
XXX
can be easer a Physics Work Group acronym or a detector sub-system acronym.

 

StXXXClient/

This tree will behave like the Pool trees in terms of library naming creation (separate libraries will be created, one per compilable sub-directory).
XXX can be anything relevant for a sub-system. Client directories MUST compile (unlike the pools) and may be part of a dependency of a data processing chain. Its general goal is to provide a different tree structure for a set of code providing a "service" widely used across makers. For example, the Run Time System (RTS) have a Client tree containing DAQ related reading codes.

 

Trees and implicit/hidden rules

StRoot/
StRoot/

StXXX./
(./)

README

A basic documentation in plain text (not mandatory). If exists, the software guide will display the information contained in this file.

 

 

doc/

A directory containing more elaborate documentation, either in html or in LaTeX. Note that if a file named index.html exists, the software guide will link to it

 

 

local/

A subdirectory containing stand-alone Makefiles for the package and/or standalone configuration files

 

 

examples/

A directory having a collection of code using the Maker or utility package of interest (case incensitive)

 

 

macros/

A directory containing root macros example making use of the maker

 

 

kumac/

This is an obsolete directory name (from staf time) but still considered by the make system. It may also appears in the pams/ tree structure.

 

 

test/

This directory may contain test programs (executables should in principle not appear in our standard but be assembled)

 

 

html/

A directory possibly containing cross-linked information for Web purposes. However, note that the documentation is, since 2002, auto-generated via the doxygen documentation system (see the sofi page for more information).

 

 

images/

A directory containing images such as bitmap, pixmaps or other images used by your program but NOT assembled by any part of the build process. XPM files necessary for Qt for example should not be placed in this directory as explicit rules exists in 'cons' to handle those (but cons will ignore the xpm placed in images/).

    wrk/
run/
 

 

 

include/

A directory containing a set of common include files

 

 

Any other name

Will be searched for code one level down only.
All compiled code will be assembled in one library named after to StXXX...
Each sub-directory will be compiled separately that is, each must contain code using explicit include path as the only default search paths for includes will be the one described by CPPPATH and its own directory. 1
Include statement can ALWAYS refer to the relative path after the StRoot/portion as the StRoot/ path is a default in CPPPATH.

 

StXXXPool/
StXXXClient/
(./)

doc/
local/
examples/
macros/
kumac/
test/
html/
images/
wrk/
run/
include/

As noted above (i.e. the content of those directories will be skipped by the make system)

 

 

Any other name

The presence of every sub-directory will create a different dynamic library. Note that this is NOT the case with the other name format (all compiled code would go in a unique library name)
The convention is as follow:
* If the name starts with 'St', for example 'StZZZ', a library StZZZ.so will be created containing every compiled code available in StZZZ directory 2
* if the name does NOT start with 'St', for example 'WWW', a library StXXXPoolWWW.so will be created containing all compile code available in WWW directory

 

Current patterned exceptions.

 

StEventDisplay.*

Directories within this pattern will be compiled using the extra include path pointed by the environment variable QTDIR. The moc program will run on any include containing the Q_OBJECT directive, -DR__QT define is added to CXXFLAGS.

 

StDbLib
StDbBroker

Those are special. Compilation will consider MySQL includes and the created dynamic library will be linked against MySQL

 

St.*Db.*

Any directory following this pattern will use the MySQL include as an extra include path for the CPPPATH directive

 

StTrsMaker
StRTSClient

Are two exceptions of kind (b) [see footnote 1] and uses its own include/ directory as a general extraneous include path.

 

StHbtMaker

For this maker, a pre-defined list of sub-directories is being added to the (CPPPATH)

 

StAssociationMaker
StMuDSTMaker
.*EmcUtil
StEEmcPool
StTofPool
StRichPool
Sti.*

This form will include in the CPPPATH every sub-directories found one level below. Only macros/, examples/ and doc/ are excluded withing this form noted in (a). For the Pool directory, the extraneous rule mentioned here is additive to the one of Pool directories.



Direct comments to the STARSOFT list.


1However, if there is a need for StRoot/StXXX sub-directories compilation to include every available sub-paths (other than the exceptions noted above) (a) as a list of default path in a compiler option or if you want a default include/ directory (b) to be always added in a default include path compiler option statement, you may request this feature to be enabled. To do that, send an Email to STARSOFT .

2In this form, the sub-directory MUST be self-sufficient i.e. all code and include (apart from the default paths) must be in the sub-directory StZZZ

 

Class and method naming good advice

Ottinger's Rules for Variable and Class Naming


When a new developer joins a project which is already in progress, there is a steep learning curve. If the new developer already knows the methodology and programming language, some of this is reduced. If the new developer already knows the problem domain fairly well, this also shortens the ramp-up time.

There is often a great deal of artificial curve which is added to a project by decree or by accident.

The goal of this rule set is to help avoid creating one type of artifical learning curve, that of decyphering or memorizing strange names.

The rules were developed in group discussions, largely by examining poor names and dissecting them to determine the cause of their 'badness'.

  1. Use Pronouncable names:
    If you can't pronounce it, you can't discuss it without sounding like an idiot. "Well, over here on the bee cee arr three cee enn tee we have a pee ess zee kew int, see?"
    I company I know has genymdhms (generated date, year, month day, hour, minute and second) so they walked around saying "gen why emm dee aich emm ess". I have an annoying habit of pronouncing everything as-written, so I started saying "gen-yah-mudda-hims". It later was being called this by a host of designers and analysts, and we still sounded silly. But we were in on the joke, so it was fun.
    Don't do that. It would have been so much better if it had been called 'timestamp' or something.

  2. Avoid Encodings:
    Encoded names require decyphering. This is true for hungarian and other 'type-encoded' or otherwise encoded variable names. Besides, encoded names are seldom pronouncable (#1).
    When you worked in name-length-challenged programs, you probably violated this rule with impunity and regret. Fortran forced it by basing type on the first letter, making the first letter a 'code' for the type. Hungarian has taken this to a whole new level.
    We've all seen bizarre encoded naming standards for files, producing (real name) cccoproi.sc and SRD2T3. This is an artificially-created naming standard in the modern world of long filenames, though it had it's time.
    Of course, you can get used to anything, but why create an artificial learning curve for new hires? Avoid this if you  can avoid it.

  3. Don't be too cute:
    If the names are too clever, they will be memorable only to people who share your sense of humor and remember the joke.

  4. Most meanings have multiple words. Pick ONE:
    Pick one word and stick with it. For instance, it's confusing to have 'fetch', 'retrieve' and 'get' as members of the same class.
    How do you choose?
    Likewise, it's confusing to have a 'controller' and a 'manager' and a 'driver' in the same process.
    The names are synonyms, making you thing the variables are the same, but there are several with mechanically different names, which leads you to think that they're not the same. You don't know what's different, or whether there is a difference.
    Instead of using different words, use words which describe different the different use or aspects of things (be specific).

  5. Most words have multiple meanings:
    Don't use the same word for two purposes, if you can at all avoid it.
    Remember that it's not polite at all to have the same name in two scopes.

  6. Nouns and Verb Phrases
    Classes and objects should have noun or noun phrase names.
    There are some methods (commonly called "accessors") which calculate and/or return a value. These can and probably should have noun names. This way accessing a person's first name can read like:
    string x = person.name();
    Other methods (sometimes called "manipulators", but not so commonly anymore) cause something to happen. These should have verb or verb-phrase names. This way, changing a name would read like:
    fred.changeNameTo("mike") 
  7. Use Solution Domain Names:
    Use CS terms, algorithm names, pattern names, math terms, etc ...

    Yeah, it's a bit heretical, but you don't want your developers having to run back and forth to the customer asking what every
    name means *if* they already know the concept by a different name.

    We're talking about code here, so you're more likely to have your code maintained by a CS major or informed programmer than by a domain expert with no programming background. End users of a system very seldom read the code, but the maintainers have to.

     

  8. Also Use Problem Domain Names:
    When there is no 'programmer-ese' for what you're doing, use the name from the problem domain. At least the programmer who maintains your code *can* ask his boss what it means. In analysis, this becomes the superior rule over "Use Solution Domain Names", because the end-user is the target audience.

     

  9. Avoid Mental Mapping:
    Readers shouldn't have to mentally translate your names into other names they already know.

     

  10. Nothing is intuitive:
    Sadly, and in contradiction to the above, all names require some mental mapping, since this is the nature of language.
    If you use a term which might not be known to your audience, you must map it to the concept you'd like it to represent.

    For this reason, most important names should be in a glossary or should be explained in comments at least.

     

  11. Avoid Disinformation:
    Avoid words which already mean something else. For example, "hp", "aix", and "sco" would be horrible variable names because
    they are the names of Unix platforms or variants. Even if you are coding a hypotenuse and hp looks like a good abbreviation,it violates too many rules and also is disinformative.

    Likewise don't refer to a grouping of accounts as an AccountList unless it's actually a list. A list means something to CS people. It denotes a certain type of data structure. If the container isn't a list, you've disinformed the programmer who has to maintain your code. AccountGroup or BunchOfAccounts would have been better.

     

  12. Names are only Meaningful in Context:
    There are few names which are meaningful in and of themselves. Most, however are not. Instead, you need to place names in
    context for your reader by enclosing them in classes, well-named functions, or comments.

    The term 'tree' needs some disambiguation, for example if the application is a forestry application. You may have syntax trees, red-black or b-trees, and also elms, oaks, and pines. The word 'tree' is a good word, and is not to be avoided, but it must be
    placed in context every place it is used.

     

  13. Don't add Artificial Context
    In an imaginary application called 'Gas Station Deluxe', it is a bad idea to prefix every class with 'GSD' if there is a chance that the class might later be used in 'Inventory Manager' (at which time the prefix becomes meaningless).

    Likewise, say you invented a 'Mailing Address' class in GSD's accounting module, and you named it AccountAddress.
    Later, you need a mailing address for your customers. Do you use 'AccountAddress'?

    In both these cases, the naming reveals an earlier short-sightedness regarding reuse. It shows that there was a failing at the design level to look for common classes across an application.

    The names 'accountAddress' and 'customerAddress' are fine names for instances of the class.

     

  14. No Disambiguation without Differentiation
    The first part of this is to avoid "noise words" in your variable names.

    Imagine that you have a Product class. If you have another called ProductInfo or ProductData, you have failed to make the names different. Info and Data are like "stuff": basically meaningless. Likewise, using the words Class or Object in an OO system is so much noise.

    In short, sometimes people disambiguate for the compiler without differentiating for the reader.

    MoneyAmount is no better than 'money'. CustomerInfo is no better than Customer.
    The word 'variable' should never appear in a variable name.
    The word 'table' should never appear in a table name.
    How is NameString better than Name? Would a Name ever be a floating point number? Probably not. If so, it breaks an earlier rule about disinformation.
    There is an application I know of where this is illustrated. I've changed the name of the thing we're getting to protect the guilty:

     

             getSomething();
             getSomethings();
             getSomethingInfo();


    The second tells you there are many of these things. The first lets you know you'll get one, but which? The third tells you nothing more than the first, but the compiler (and hopefully the author) can tell them apart. You are going to have to work harder.
    If you have a name used twice, you must disambiguate in such a way that the reader knows what the different versions offer her, instead of merely that they're different.

The hardest thing about choosing good names is that it requires good descriptive skills and a shared cultural background. This is a teaching issue, rather than a technical, business, or management issue. As a result many people in this field don't do it very well.

Software Peer review

General Information

Before adding a new code to the CVS repository, any Maker and or code needs to be peer reviewed. Please, consult the STAR coding and naming standards pages before even starting to design a new maker or code. This document will help you shape, through basic guidelines, your code structure and layout.

Code peer review is a process by which members of the collaboration, code developers themselves, are asked to review your code as per its fitness to be included in the standard STAR framework. We hope this process will bring to developers of maker useful inputs as per the reuse of existing classes, the integration of the code within a chain, its interaction with our IO model etc ...

The task of the reviewers

The basic peer review should address the following issues :

  1. General coding style and standard Naming convention
    • Naming convention must be followed
    • Classes must have destructor / constructor
    • Access to data members must be through access methods
    • Global variables usage (should be avoided, suggestions if used)
    • Constants, variables, method should have self-explanatory names
    • ...
    There are more guidelines in the STAR coding and naming standards document the reviewers should consider. Reviewers should send their recommendations and specific advices if standards are broken.
  2. The code layout i.e. The directory structure (is the documentation in the proper doc/ directory, the macros in the macros/ directory etc ...)
  3. The presence of documentation and if it was sufficient to understand what the intent of code was. Complete lack of documentation should be considered as a show stopper for the review.
  4. Code general suggestions and comments :
    • issues related to re-use of existing base classes
    • merging with existing or similar sub-systems developed classes etc ...).
    • Hardwired constants and suggestions (for example, a database approach for calibration constants, if applicable, is a good suggestion).
    • In case of simulation makers, the reviewers should pay particular attention to the GEANT geometry and how it relates to the reconstruction code and, for a sub-system in development mode, the geometry flexibility.
  5. Is the algorithm sound, any missing parts / improvements suggestions, approaches the developer should try or consider in future.
  6. General comments on readiness of the code to be inserted.
  7. The almost last and one of the mandatory requirements is for the code to compile (hum ... it should be never knows ...) and this, on at least the preferred platform (a code will NOT be added if it fails this basic requirement) but preferably the two supported platforms.
  8. Finally, can you run the code (always good to compile but if it crashes, it is not ready)? Does it seem to provide meaningful results within the provided example and/or instructions?

There are at least two peer reviewers per new code. The peer reviewers should agree that the code is important, should be included in the set of makers, is ready for deployment and, if there are more work to be done, should clearly state what is required in their views for the code to be functional. Suggestions for future improvements must be clearly stated and a road map for implementation offered to the developer . The reviewers should also explicitly sign-off on the code.

As a last note, a peer review is advisory to the STAR Software & Computing leader. In case of disagreement, a summary and ruling will be sent to the person reviewed (and reviewers) indicating the changes to be made. After a peer review is closed, a notice will be sent to starsoft so all (core team as well as other coordinators) are informed of the new incoming code.

Preparing your code for a peer review

You should first make sure that your code will pass the above criteria. Your code must be available to the reviewers from a public space. Please, check protection (g+r in NFS space) or acl (star rl in AFS).

When you feel ready to have your code reviewed, send an Email to STAR Software & Computing leader requiring a review process to take place along with a quick description of your maker / code and the status of your code (still in development mode, final version, why you would like to have it included to the official repository, etc ...). Avoid development code at all cost unless clear justifications.

For a meaningful review, please provide instructions (macro or chain) on how to run your code with all arguments specified (least work for the reviewers, should work as instructed). Possibly, how to verify the results are correct in case your code deals with Physics-ready structures is an asset. At minimum, we require the code compiles & run and that reviewers understand its purpose and documentation is adequate.

Members of the collaboration will be asked to take on this task within a day or two. Comments, answers and action items must be sent and communicated via Emails to all members of the peer review committee (they will appear in the initial Email starting the review process). After all reviewers have sent their contributions, you will be informed of the the critical items to be taken care off and an expected / suggested time frame for the insertion of the new code in our library.

Pxl review asked - but too many makers at once Spyridon Margetis
(Hao Qiu)
  Initial request CC was not seen (CC to list auto-sorted). Seen 2013/10/07
7 makers at once is not manageable (14+ reviewers to find). Suggested a split - we have a go on 2013/11/04 and the 5 entries below the FmsSimulationMaker represents this.

Review was discussed 2018/01/24 (after a discussion S&C had with Maksym and Iouri Vassiliev during a visit). Also discussed,
/star/u/mzyzak/Review/StRoot
has little to do with what is under StRoot/.

2018/02/06, code from Maksym verified by Guannan (compilation and compatibility with "dev"). Discussion went toward cov matrix info in picoDST (planned new analysis format). picoDST format settled around mid 2018/08.

Review re-launched 2018/09/17 (missed it, away) and noted 2018/10/01. Reviewers contacted 10/01, accepted 10/04. Started 10/05. First wave of comment son 10/10, second on 10/24. No new version provided.
Discussed with Maksym 2018/12/11 (was busy with CBM, GSI closing during holidays, need more time). Informed reviewers 2018/12/12 of possible delays.
Reminder sent 2019/01/10. Resumed by Maksym 02/01 and we seemed to converge 02/19.
Licensing issue discussed 2019/02/21 (pending).
Licensing announced to be resolved 2020/02/11. Searching for integration candidates.
