The Union_stop Component

Deprecated no-op placeholder, kept for backward compatibility.

Identification

• Author: Mads Bertelsen and Erik B Knudsen
• Origin: ESS DMSC & DTU Physics
• Date: 20.08.15

Description

Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus
separates geometry and physics within McXtrace.

This component used to be required as the LAST component. It pulled in the
dispatch switch (union-suffix.c) so it would be compiled after all the
process components had defined their PROCESS DETECTOR macros.

That is no longer needed: each process registers its own case with the
dispatch in Union_master, whose TRACE code is compiled after every
component SHARE section. The Union_init and Union_stop components are
therefore optional.

This definition is kept only so that existing instruments that still place a
Union_stop component continue to compile. It emits a deprecation warning
and has no effect.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
