Description gum 2005-06-28 15:03:43 CEST

This change in 7.0:

http://geant4www.triumf.ca/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/source/tracking/src/G4SteppingManager2.cc.diff?r1=1.18&r2=1.19

where the line:

fTrack->SetTrackStatus( fParticleChange->GetTrackStatus() );

has been commented out; thus the proposed TrackStatusChange of a
AlongStepProcess DoIt is now ignored.

For this reason, the G4Cerenkov process can no longer suspend the primary
particle track; i.e. the method:

        SetTrackSecondariesFirst(const G4bool state);
        // If set, the primary particle tracking is interrupted and any
        // produced Cerenkov photons are tracked next. When all have
        // been tracked, the tracking of the primary resumes.

no longer works as advertised.

This change was done by request form people who are in charge of the process
implementation. I will ask them to check if there is problem to change it
again.

The fix has been commmited.
