Marcus,
Your thoughts are very helpful. I agree that there is no real error
message
there. I am doing the debugging because there is one variable in my
model
which works in GUI mode but does not work in batch mode. I am at a
complete
loss for why this variable would perform differently -- it is not just a
reporting difference.
The funny "not an error" message I sent you is the only indication I
have of
BatchSwarm.m doing anything interesting. Although I can use debugging
messages in my code, since the GUI works fine, I don't get any printf's
when
I run it. And, of course, my batch mode runs in the background.
Is there any way to invoke error messages while running batch mode?
Thanks,
Corinne
Dear Corinne:
the debugger gdb can be used to run in batch mode.
gdb ./model_name
> set args -b

will go to the crash, but you can set breakpoints before that.
I wonder if it would not help to start with a working Batch swarm
example? Compare your approach with it?
Last Spring, I was teaching my graduate course on agent based modeling
and decided to try to fix up the Swarm Sugar Scape to include a batch
model and a parameter handler. A couple of students did use this for
testing and adding in new features, so I'm pretty sure it worked. I
mean, I can't test it now very much because I'm busy, but my
recollection is that it did work, it runs now, and I don't think I would
have packaged this up and given it to them if it did not work.
I recall being quite proud of this at the time, and I cannot remember
why I didn't publicize it to this list or such.
Since it is a small file, I'm attaching it. I hope you don't mind.
