index reduction method causes segmentation fault

[lochel]

The following script

loadString("
package otherTests
  model pendulum4
    parameter Real g=9.81;
    parameter Real L=0.5;
    parameter Real m=1;
    Real x;
    Real y;
    Real vx;
    Real vy;
    Real F;
  initial equation
    y = 0.0;
    der(y) = 0.0;
  equation
    vx = der(x);
    vy = der(y);
    m*der(vx) = -x/L*F;
    m*der(vy) = -y/L*F-m*g;
    x^2+y^2=L^2;
  end pendulum4;
end otherTests;
"); getErrorString();

setIndexReductionMethod("dummyDerivative"); getErrorString();
simulate(otherTests.pendulum4, startTime=0.0, stopTime=5.0); getErrorString();

produces the following output

true
""
true
""
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is because the old Index Reduktion does not work in combination with the new Matching Algorithms. Use setMatchingAlgorithm("omc");

The old index reduction will be delete soon.

[lochel]

Okay - but there should be never ever a segmentation fault - even for bad combinations of everything.
Also there should be some information in the help-text for impossible combinations and at least some kind of message if they are selected anyway.

[jfrenkel]

The best ist to remove the old matching and index reduction right now from the configuration options. Each second of work is wasted time.

We can discuss this to the next developer meeting.

[lochel]

I agree. If these are obsolete options/modules they should be removed as soon as possible.

I get the following compiler-errors if I use setMatchingAlgorithm("omc");

• indexreduction method and matching "omc" are removed from omc
