Checking Input Data

How to Configure?

Set check_data to true when initializing libyt (see Initialize):

yt_param_libyt param_libyt;
param_libyt.verbose = YT_VERBOSE_INFO;
param_libyt.script  = "inline_script";
param_libyt.check_data = true;

/* Initialize libyt, should only be called once. */
if( yt_initialize( argc, argv, &param_libyt ) != YT_SUCCESS ){
    // error message
    exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

Data Checked by libyt

The test is specific for adaptive mesh refinement data structure.

If they all pass, then libyt is guarantee to work:

• Check if number of grids (num_grids) matches the aggregated sum of (num_grids_local).
• Check if field list is set properly. (See Set Fields Information)
  • Field name, type and data type are set.
  • User-defined derived function is set if field type is "derived_func".
  • Ghost cell is larger than or equal to 0.
  • Each field name is unique.
• Check if particle list is set properly. (See Set Particles Information)
  • Particle type, attribute list, and coordinate name are set.
  • Each attribute name in a particle type is unique.
  • Each particle type name is unique, and it is not the same as frontend name.
• Check if local grids information is set properly. (See Set Local Grids Information)
  • Grid left/right edge, dimensions, id, parent id, level are properly set, with root level starts at 0, dimensions are all greater than 0, and all ids are unique.
  • Parent id is negative if it is at root level. And parent grid has child grid level minus 1.
  • Child grid edge is inside parent grid edge.
  • Grid left/right edge are in domain edge, and grid left edge is smaller than or equal to grid right edge.
  • Grid data is properly set.
