Re: [Getfem-users] Bug related to element faces referred both as short_type and size_type

[Konstantinos Poulios]

After looking into that, it is a bit worse than I thought. In different places of getfem, short_type, size_type and even dim_type are used for referring to element faces.

Now, I have a patch tidying this up, which makes all occurrences of faces of type short_type but it is quite extensive and it obviously changes the getfem API quite a bit. Maybe it is a good opportunity now that 4.3 release is out to commit these changes and fix any issues that may arise until the release of version 5.

Any opinions?

Best regards

Hi,

I have just noticed that in fem_interpolation_context, element faces are referred as size_type, while in mesh_region_visitor, short_type is used.

One consequence of this is that the fem_interpolation_context::is_on_face() method seems not to work at the moment.

I have the impression that short_type is used in most cases for referring to element faces in getfem. Should I fix fem_interpolation_context making it to use the short_type instead?
