NAME
RuntimeParameters_setPrev
SYNOPSIS
RuntimeParameters_setPrev(char*(in) :: name,
real/int/str/log(in) :: value)
DESCRIPTION
This is an overloaded function. RuntimeParameters_setPrev under the hood implements RuntimeParameters_setPrevReal RuntimeParameters_setPrevInt, RuntimeParameters_setPrevStr RuntimeParameters_setPrevLog This routine allows the user to keep track of a value from a restart run. The linked List holding the runtime parameters can hold 2 values, a current value, and an "initial" or "previous" value. The routine sets the value of the latter.
EXAMPLE
Take a run using Paramesh with a refinement level of 4. The user
runs the simulation for some time then writes a checkpoint. After
examining the checkpoint data the user wants to increase the maximum
resolution in the simulation and sets the refinement level to 6.
Upon restart the grid may need to compare the values 4 and 6 and refine
the grid further. The value '4' would be read in from the checkpoint
file and stored in the 'previous', while the value '6' would
be stored in the 'current' slot. We imagine there are only a few
runtime parameters in which this routine would be relevant.
use RuntimeParameters, ONLY : RuntimeParameters_set
integer :: lrefine_max
lrefine_max = 4
call RuntimeParameters_setPrev('lrefine_max', lrefine_max)
ARGUMENTS
name: name value: name value
NOTES
Because RuntimeParameters_setPrev is an overloaded function, a user calling the routine must USE the interface RuntimeParameters_interface.
