3843	Write .log file directly to disk	Francesco Casella	somebody	"If I simulate {{{ThermoPower.Examples.CISE.CISESim120501}}} with OMC for Windows 64 bit with the following flags:
{{{
setCommandLineOptions(""+cseCall +cseEachCall 
  --tearingMethod=omcTearing --preOptModules+=introduceDerAlias 
  --preOptModules-=clockPartitioning 
  -d=dumpSimCode,nogen,initialization,backenddaeinfo,discreteinfo,
     stateselection""); getErrorString();
}}}
I get this message on the console:
{{{
Error: File too large to fit into a MetaModelica string: 
ThermoPower.Examples.CISE.CISESim120501.log.
}}}
and the log file does not contain the log of the solver.

These log files can become huge (hundreds of megabytes). This is no big deal, as long as they are written directly to file. Having access to this information can be crucial for debugging.

Please make sure this date goes straight to mass storage without being stored in a MetaModelica string."	defect	new	high	1.10.0	Run-time
