[Paraview] 3.14 pvsc enumeration issues

Mon Mar 5 14:40:12 EST 2012

which stuff in the point sprite is causing trouble? I wanted to redo some of it because now that I know more of the internals of the pqXXX classes, there is some stuff that is a little obsolete in the PSPlugin.

Hi,

I think we can fix this by modifying the PointSprite plugin to check to see if the VisIt Bridge is enabled and to conditional building the conflicting classes only when the Bridge is disabled or we can name mangle the VisIt classes that the PointSprite plugin is building.

Sorry, misread your reply, sounds like you would prefer to keep visit-bridge on. But will you disabled point-sprite in the binary release? I noticed that when the client has it but server does not it causes a crash.

So are you disabling VisIt bridge in the binary release? If not would it still lead to a crash if the binary has VB on, and the server has VB off?

Yes, I believe we ran into that as well. Short of re-factoring the
PointSpritePlugin, the work around for now is to disable the
point-sprite plugin when using visit-bridge and static builds.

Utkarsh,

By the way, not a huge issue but I also had a problem with static builds
when trying to enable the visit bridge. The visit bridge and the Point
Sprite Pluign both had copies of some of the same code.

Burlen,

To give you an update, we have decided to put out a patch release
within the next week or so that should include the fix for this bug.

That seems to have fixed the problem, thanks Utkarsh!

Burlen,

Attached is a patch. Can you please verify if that solves the issue?
Seems to working now in my tests.

Thanks

Burlen,

I haven't tried reproducing the problem, but looking at the code, it's
pretty obvious why it could fail. I'll work on a fix soon. I think
this and few other state file backwards compatibility related issues
that been reported may warrant a quick patch release. But I'll check
with the team once I get back next week and give everyone an update.

Hi Rick,

yes things are fine in 3.12 it's only with 3.14 that I'm having this
issue.

Hi Rick,

Good, maybe it's something specific to my configuration although I
don't
have any idea what it could be off hand. Just to be sure: do you mean
that you haven't had noticed problems or that you've positively
verified
that after using the enum once you could change the value?

thanks
Burlen

Subject: [Paraview] 3.14 pvsc enumeration issues

Hi,

I've encountered bugs with pvsc enumerations in version 3.14.0. I
have
the attached pvsc that makes use of a couple of enumerations. After
connecting once w/ this pvsc, neither of the enums save the user's
choice in the GUI the next time the server is used. However they
seem
to
remember the user's last choice internally and always uses that
instead
of what the user has selected in the GUI. Neither setting save=false
or
removing the default attribute helps. I filed the bug report here.
http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12969 If it's confirmed would
the
bug be fixed in another 3.14 release? or should I simply remove
enumerations from our pvsc's for 3.14?

Burlen
