Normaliz is about to release version 3.0.

This has a revised interface (e.g. new names for certain existing features).
Consider revising our interface to normaliz.

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott about 9 years ago

The revised normaliz interface aims to be backward compatible.

JAA prefers the new names in normaliz, and would like to adopt them in CoCoA.
How can we maintain backward compatibility? Do we want to?

Now that we are passing to C++14, we can reactivate this task.

The first step is to make sure that our current interface code works with the latest version of Normaliz (currently 3.6.3).

The current version of CoCoALib compiles fine with normaliz-3.8.9.

It is no longer clear me to what exactly this issue is concerned with.

It would certainly make sense to involve Bruns (and possibly some others from his group).

Postponing.
Qn remove Christof as watcher, and add Bruns?

#11 Updated by John Abbott over 3 years ago

#12 Updated by John Abbott almost 2 years ago

Status 2022-09-26: our code compiles fine with the current version of Normaliz (3.9.4).

What exactly is this issue about? Is it that we should change some names in CoCoALib/CoCoA-5
to reflect changes to names in libnormaliz?

Suggest: close

we need to remember what "names" they are. Probably the name of some class data members. The change would be trivial, documentation needed. The problem is to remember how to find these names.

Probably backward compatibility is impossible.
