Geant4.0.1 Release Notes
2+
------------------------
3+
4+
14th July 1999
5+
6+
This version of Geant4 is a "consolidation" of the first public
7+
release. Its main characteristics are:
8+
9+
o improved reliability and robustness.
10+
o the possibility of using granular (sub-category) libraries. We
11+
recommend this mode of installation and use.
12+
o the possibility of using either the Standard Template Library
13+
(STL) or RogueWave tools.h++, selectable at installation and use
14+
time.
15+
o new low energy electromagnetic processes (first version).
16+
o extension of nuclear photon-evaporation to include the calculation
17+
of time to production for gammas.
18+
o improvements in design of the User Action classes - see below.
19+
20+
Note that the next release, Geant4.1.0, will be offered only in the
21+
STL version.
22+
23+
This code and some binary libraries are available through our "Source
24+
Code" Web page - see our <A
25+
Href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/geant4/geant4.html">Geant4 Home
26+
Page</A>.
27+
28+
Please refer to <A
29+
Href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/geant4/G4UsersDocuments/Overview/html/index.html">Geant4
30+
User Documentation</A> for further information about using Geant4.
31+
Updates to the documentation for Geant4.0.1 are still in preparation
32+
and are expected to be published within three weeks.

48+
1. Supported and Tested Platforms
49+
---------------------------------
50+
51+
o SUN Solaris 5.6, C++ 4.2 patch 104631-04.
52+
o HP 10.20, aCC C++ B3910B A.01.18.
53+
o Linux 2.0.35, gcc C++ egcs-2.91.60. There is a bug in an egcs
54+
include file which affects compilation with STL - see comments
55+
below. This configuration was tested in the RedHat 5.1
56+
distribution, but versions of Geant4 have also been compiled
57+
successfully in Debian and Suse distributions.
58+
59+
Platforms also tested but giving rise to some problems - see below:
60+
61+
o AIX 4.3, xlC compiler.
62+
o DEC V4.0, cxx C++ V6.1-027.
63+
o NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 and Cygnus Tools b20 with:
64+
Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 2 for either STL or RogueWave, or
65+
Visual C++ 5.0 Service Pack 3 for the RogueWave version only.
66+
67+
68+
2. CLHEP 1.4
69+
------------
70+
71+
Geant4.0.1 requires the installation of <A
72+
href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/lhc++/INSTALLATION/clhep.html">CLHEP
73+
1.4</A>. The following platform specific instructions apply:
74+
75+
DEC: Do *not* use the compiler option "-std strict_ansi".
76+
77+
NT: After configure, edit the file config/CLHEP-x86-cygnus-win32 and
78+
comment out "#define HEP-USE-STD 1".
79+
80+
81+
82+
3. Using the Standard Template Library
83+
--------------------------------------
84+
85+
The following versions of STL have been tested:
86+
87+
<A href="http://www.objectspace.com/">ObjectSpace</A> STL on: AIX,
88+
DEC, HP, NT and SUN.
89+
90+
<A href="http://www.stlport.org/">STLPORT</A> STL on: NT
91+
92+
"Native" STL on: Linux.
93+
94+
This is selected at installation/compile time by environment variables
95+
- see documentation. Be aware that this is the first implementation
96+
of "The STL Interface" for which the emphasis has been on correct
97+
behaviour, not on performance. Also, the size of libraries and
98+
executables is considerably larger. These issues will be addressed in
99+
the next release.
100+
101+
102+
4. Compiler Specific Problems
103+
-----------------------------
104+
105+
o Linux with egcs-1.1.1 and 1.1.2
106+
107+
In order to compile with STL it is necessary to edit
108+
stl_hash_fun.h in /usr/include/g++/ or /usr/local/include/g++/.
109+
Lines 65-67 must be removed or commented out. These are the
110+
lines in question:
111+
112+
__STL_TEMPLATE_NULL struct hash<signed char> {
113+
size_t operator()(unsigned char x) const { return x; }
114+
};
115+
116+
o AIX 4.3, xlC compiler.
117+
118+
Geant4 does compile and link on AIX... eventually. The compiler
119+
is very slow and the executables in debug mode are very large.
120+
On rsplus at CERN we had to revert to a version of the archiver
121+
corresponding to AIX 4.1 in order to have templates treated
122+
correctly. This has limited our ability to test Geant4.
123+
124+
o DEC V4.0, cxx C++ V6.1-027.
125+
126+
We have found cases of mis-compilation of min and max templates
127+
on DEC. We have traced those which cause serious malfunction
128+
but there is no guarantee that there are no other cases.
129+
Detailed inspection of assembler output suggests that this
130+
problem might not be confined to min and max. This has been
131+
reported to DEC/Compaq. We understand a new version 6.1A of the
132+
compiler is on its way. However we cannot guarantee correct
133+
execution of Geant4 on DEC with the current version of the
134+
compiler.
135+
136+
o NT
137+
138+
- Note that the G4SYSTEM environment variable used for compiling
139+
Geant4 on NT has changed from WIN32-VC-NICE to WIN32-VC.
140+
Please check documentation on setting the environment.
141+
- Testing was done using the debuggable version only.
142+
- g3tog4 has not been ported to NT.
143+
- During the making of dependency files during compilation there
144+
are repeated warnings ("strstrea.h not found") - this is an
145+
artefact of using g++ for this purpose.
146+
- Ignore linker warnings: "conflicts with use of other libs".
147+
- Ignore linker errors: "unresolved external symbol
148+
__imp__MessageBoxA@16".
149+
- There is a known problem reading the data files for neutron
150+
scattering processes. A patch resolving this problem will
151+
be issued soon.
152+
153+
154+
155+
5. Known Run-Time Problems
156+
--------------------------
157+
158+
o Reading STEP files on DEC with optimised libraries causes a Memory
159+
fault - but see notes on DEC above.
160+
o exampleN04 loops on DEC with optimised libraries - but see notes
161+
on DEC above.
162+
o On HP, an executable which uses "integral approach"
163+
electromagnetic processes - G4IMultipleScattering,
164+
G4IeIonisation, G4IeBremsstrahlung, G4IeplusAnnihilation,
165+
G4IhIonisation - has intermittently given Bus error(coredump).
166+
167+
168+
6. Compilation Warnings
169+
-----------------------
170+
171+
There are compilation warnings om some platforms. We do not believe
172+
that any will lead to incorrect run-time behaviour, but we are working
173+
on reducing them.
174+
175+
176+
7. Known Run-Time Warnings
177+
--------------------------
178+
179+
The following messages are written to error output while tracking. We
180+
believe none give rise to incorrect behaviour.
181+
182+
o G4PropagatorInField::LocateIntersectionPoint: Warning: Integration
183+
inaccuracy requires an adjustment in the step's endpoint Two
184+
mid-points are further apart than their curve length difference:
185+
Dist = xxx curve length = yyy
186+
o Stepsize underflow in Stepper.
187+
o Warning G4Navigator::ComputeStep found slightly inaccurate
188+
position...
189+
o Warning in G4Navigator::ComputeStep: The Step's starting point has
190+
moved...
191+
192+
193+
8. Changes of the Signatures of Methods of the User Action Classes
194+
------------------------------------------------------------------
195+
196+
The signatures of all methods of all of the optional user action
197+
classes have been changed. Now every method takes a constant pointer
198+
to an appropriate G4 object. To cope with this change the user code
199+
must be modified. The examples and documents are updated and the user
200+
is requested to consult to them. We are sorry for this inconvenience
201+
but we concluded that this change will provide the user with a better
202+
and more robust code.
