Full header read-in and external program
This change does two things:
**Full header**
_All_ information available in the HepMC event header is
propagated to the MC event header information map. This
includes
- Heavy-ion "geometry" parameters (b,Ncoll,Npart,...)
- Cross-section(s)
- Weight(s)
- PDF information
- and other attributes defined
This is so that we can build a full HepMC event structure later -
for example to pass to Rivet analyses
** External program **
The functionality of the generatator is expanded so that it may
spawn an event generator program, say `eg`.
- The generator opens a FIFO
- The generator then executes the program `eg` in the background
- The `eg` program is assumed to write HepMC event records on
standard output, which is then redirected to the FIFO
- The generator reads events from the FIFO
For this to work, a number of conditions _must_ be met by the
`eg` program:
- It _must_ write events in the HepMC event format
- It _must_ write the HepMC event records to standard output
- It _cannot_ write anything else but the HepMC event record to
standard output
- It _must_ accept the command line option `-n NEVENTS` to
set the number of events to generate.
If a particular `eg` program does not meet these requirements, then
a simple shell script can be defined to wrap the `eg` appropriately.
For example, the CRMC program `crmc` _can_ write HepMC events to
standard output, but it will also dump other stuff there. Thus,
we can provide the script
#!/bin/sh
crmc $@ -o hepmc3 -f /dev/stdout | \
sed -n 's/^\(HepMC::\|[EAUWVP] \)/\1/p'
which simply filters the output of `crmc`. Another EG program
may not accept the `-n EVENTS` command line option, but rather has
the command line option `--nevents`, so then we would do something
like
#!/bin/sh
cmdline="eg-program -o /dev/stdout "
while test $# -gt 0 ; do
case x$1 in
x-n) cmdline="$cmdline -n $2"; shift ;;
*) cmdline="$cmdline $1" ;;
esac
shift
done
$cmdline
The command line to run is specified as
--configKeyValues "HepMC.progCmd=<program and options>"
and can include not only the program name but also other
options to the program. For example
--configKeyValues "HepMC.progCmd=crmc -m 5 -i 20800820 -I 20800820"
for Pb-Pb collisions with Hijing.
With this change, we can use _any_ event generator which is capable to
write out its event records in the HepMC format.1 parent dadc5c6 commit 2f36720
