[MITgcm-devel] no _d in header files (exf_constants.h)

[Patrick Heimbach]

Chris, 

I am using it.
Here the excerpt from my Makefile:

CPP = cat $< | $(TOOLSDIR)/set64bitConst.sh |  cpp  -traditional -P

So maybe set64bitConst.sh just needs fixing.
But it looks sort of OK.

Let me know.
I'm tempted to check in the modified exf_constants.h
it's really the only header that does use '_d'.


Quoting Chris Hill <cnh at MIT.EDU>:

> It is much better to use "set64bitConst.sh" because then when you build on
> an NEC (for example) you can easily switch _d -> e. Not using _d is how you
> start rumours that the code doesn't vectorize etc... 
> 
> Do you know if "set64bitConst.sh" is being called in the makefile or whether
> it is being left out all together.
