How to write names of header file in style_*.h

Submitted by Masayuki on Sun, 08/05/2012 - 00:20

Hi

I want to know what kind of syntax (macro) you use to write down names of header file in style_*.h. For example when I compile the LIGGGHTS,
#include "run.h"
is written in the file, style_command.h to execute run.command(). I wonder how it is made.

Thanks.

Hi Masa,

the style_*.h files are auto-generated upon compilation. The name of the commands is defined in the header files, e.g. in run.h:

CommandStyle(run,Run)

This associates command "run" with the C++ class "Run"

Cheers, Christoph

Thanks for replying rapidly.

I want to know about "auto-generated upon compilation". Please tell me where and how style_*.h are generated, because before
CommandStyle(run,Run)
is executed,
style_command.h should be generated.

Thanks,

Masa

style_*.h files are autogenerated by the makefile.

>>because before CommandStyle(run,Run) is executed, style_command.h should be generated.
no, style_command.h is put together from all "CommandStyle(xxx,XXX)" statements in header files.

As a user, all you need to do to add a new command is to add a "CommandStyle(xxx,XXX)" statement in your header file - no need for further manipulation

I see, it is executed in the makefile.
Thank you so much for your really good advices and rapid answers.
