Source Model Bugs: xspec abundan


Bugs

  1. XSpec commands which aren't recorded in the save file.

  2. xspec abundan always returns a status of 0.


Bugs

  1. XSpec commands which aren't recorded in the save file.

    The xspec abundan and xspec xsect commands are not recorded in the save file. If a fit is saved and then restored, the fit and statistics appear to be completely different.

  2. xspec abundan always returns a status of 0.

    Executing xspec abundan by means of sherpa_eval returns 0 even when given an incorrect argument. For example, the following commands work (i.e. return 0 on success and -1 on failure):

    sherpa> sherpa_eval( "xspec abundan angr" )
        Abundances set to Anders & Grevesse
    0
    sherpa> sherpa_eval( "xspec abundan" )
    -1
    

    However the following do not recognize a failure:

    sherpa> sherpa_eval( "xspec abundan file foo" )
    Failed to open requested file with abundances
    0
    sherpa> sherpa_eval( "xspec abundan X" )
     'X' does not match.
      Choose from the following ABUND options (currently 'file'):
     angr feld aneb grsa wilm lodd file                                      
    0
