Subsections

Basic library

Priorities

Consolidation: The basic library, which covers all fundamental infrastructure, is mostly complete. Development in this cycle has been scheduled in the area of library maintenance, and in the provision of limited new capabilities required for application development.

Targets

Large-file support in Tables: Add large-file support in the Table system. Includes evaluation of trial LFS available for Linux (GvD, H, 3 wk).
Sub-table locking options: Add expanded sub-table locking options (GvD, H, 0.5 wk).
Arrays in TaQL: Support arrays in all TaQL functions (GvD, H, 1 wk).
Column removal in TSM: Allow column removal in TSM (GvD, H, 1 wk).
Deep copy and actualDesc(): Provide additional information on the storage manager in use and the actual table description; allow deep copy of tables. (GvD, H, 1 wk).
Time comparison function in TaQL: Add a time comparison function to TaQL, to specifications provided by synthesis. GvD, H, 1 wk).
Exception-handling clean-up: Remove CanDelete and Cleanup from the library (DS, H, 0.25 wk).
File descriptor limit: Change aipsinit scripts to set ulimit/limit on maximum number of file descriptors appropriately (DS, H, 0.25 wk).
complex, string, and iostream: Move to standard library compliance in these areas. Build stability to be maintained in this process. (WB, H, 2 wk).
Measures and Quanta: i) tests of baseline, antenna positions and uvw calculations; ii) arrays of measures in Glish; and, iii) quanta improvements per defects and release testing. (WB, H, 4 wk).
Fitting: i) Image-fitting support; ii) requirements document for component model changes for uv-fitting. (WB, H, 3 wk).
Measures chapter for Getting Results: Chapter in Getting Results describing end-user Glish use of Measures. (RP, M, 2 wk).
