SLIC Bug Reports
There are many possible sources of errors when the simulator crashes or exhibits "anomalous" or incorrect behavior. Also, some types of crashes, especially those that occur during batch jobs after a lot of events have been executed, can be difficult to produce.
Therefore, it is imperative to make all bug reports as detailed as possible, with step-by-step information on repeating the error.
At a minimum, a good bug report should have the following information.
SLIC Version
The version is very important, because bugs (sometimes) get fixed in newer versions.
This is a string stored in the file $SLIC_BASE/VERSION.
Simply print the contents of this file.
cat VERSION
And paste it into your bug report.
Operating System.
On a Unix system, execute this command.
uname -a
And paste the output into the bug report.
