C++ modules cause Cosmosis to complain about .ini parameters not being used
annis opened this issue · 2 comments
When we compile a C++ module into Cosmosis, at run time it presents warnings of "Parameter '' in the [] section never used!". The C++ modules clearly do use the parameters, as they run correctly. See cut and paste of stream below.
This would merely be annoying, but it interacts poorly with a separate Cosmosis bug with C++, where when a parameter is in fact not found an opaque and not useful message is sent. One has to grovel to understand which parameter was not being read. A C++ debugger is invaluable, which gives the scale of the issue.
One thing at a time- this issue is about the warnings that Cosmosis generates in error.

Hi Jim.
This doesn't happen in general C++ modules - demo5, for example, uses the JLA likelihood which is in C++ and doesn't yield these warnings. If I add an unused parameter to the section then it does warn correctly.:
# no warnings:
cosmosis demos/demo5.ini -p runtime.sampler=test
# prints **** WARNING: Parameter 'unused' in the [jla] section never used!
cosmosis demos/demo5.ini -p runtime.sampler=test jla.unused=1
so it must be something more specific to either your module or triggered by some other condition. Is the module you're using something I can access to have a closer look?
Cheers,
Joe
This has been modified in v3, so hopefully whatever issue this was is fixed.
