* Added new command line option '--logdir <dir>' which sets the output directorytradke2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | for logfiles created by the \texttt{-r} option. If the directory doesn't exist yet, it will be created by Cactus.

* Add a new command line option to select the buffering mode of stdout.schnetter2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The option is "-b <mode>", or "-buffering=<mode>", where mode can be "no", "line", or "full". This option uses the ANSI C function call setvbuf() to select the corresponding buffering mode. The buffering mode can be selected only once in a portable programme, and it has to be selected before the first output occurs. This means that it has to be implemented in the flesh. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/flesh/trunk@4329 17b73243-c579-4c4c-a9d2-2d5706c11dac
* Add a new configuration flag PROFILE=yes, which enables profiling in aschnetter2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | build. This flag is equivalent to OPTIMISE=yes and DEBUG=yes. Additional compiler options {C,CXX,F77,F90}_PROFILE_FLAGS are also introduced. The configuration stage sets the F77 flags to the F90 flags if an F90 compiler is found. This flag setting was done too early, namely before the default values for the F90 flags were set. This flag setting has been moved to a later time. The link command used undefined make variables $(OPTIMISE_C) etc. These variables have been removed. Instead $(CXX_OPTIMISE_FLAGS) etc. are added to the link statement. This makes the linker pick up the correct flags e.g. for profiling. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/flesh/trunk@4327 17b73243-c579-4c4c-a9d2-2d5706c11dac
