Abinit 8.0.2 - Warnings and errors  [SOLVED]

Post by NPike » Fri Mar 18, 2016 1:21 pm

Hello all,

I recently installed and compiled Abinit 8.0.2 successfully and started running scripts. One of the things I noticed with this version of Abinit is that some of the error/warning messages are missing. For example, I attempted to run a file with Abinit in which I wanted to turn off the printing of the Eigenvalues. I attempted to type "prteig" and instead typed "rteig".

While abinit correctly aborted the program during its check of the input variables, it gave me no warning message, in either the log file or output file to indicate what was wrong with the input file I submitted.

I just want to point this out before a public release. Thanks for all you do!

Hi,

You get an error message in the log file only if the the MPI process that encounters a problem
is connected to the log file.
Usually the MPI proc with rank == 0 in MPI_COMM_WORLD is connected to std_out,
while the other processes are redirected to dev_null.
In version 8, the code produces the__ABI_MPIABORTFILE__ file if the error is encountered by
a process that is not connected to std_out.

I've done some tests with my 8.0.3 and the code stops with the message:

--- !ERROR
src_file: chkvars.F90
src_line: 334
message: |
Found the token RTEIG in the input file.
This name is not one of the registered input variable names (see the Web list of input variables).
Action : check your input file. You likely mistyped the input variable.
...

in __ABI_MPIABORTFILE__ if I run it in parallel.
Let me know If you cannot reproduce this behaviour.

Hello,

This particular error occurs when you have an extra word in your input file.

Most likely you forgot to include a # or ! for a statement you write for your own use.

Abinit will read every line of the input file unless that line starts with an # or !.
