What is the replacement in GEANT4 version 10.6 for the G4UI_USE and G4VIS_USE preprocessor definitions? The 10.6 release notes state: "The preprocessor macros G4UI_USE and G4VIS_USE are removed." The 10.6 documentation still includes the use of these macros: http://geant4-userdoc.web.cern.ch/geant4-userdoc/UsersGuides/ForApplicationDeveloper/html/Visualization/visexecutable.html#example-visaddexe-2 Are these definitions even necessary? Were they ever necessary? I guess the question is this: I have an application built against GEANT4 that was using these preprocessor definitions to check for the existence of the UI and visualization libraries in my GEANT4 build. Suppose I removed these definitions and then attempted to build my application against a GEANT4 build that did NOT include the UI and visualization drivers. Would my application then break or fail to compile in such cases if I simply removed these definitions from my code? I would like to just remove these checks from the main program of my application altogether. But would I then break backwards compatibility of my app for users with GEANT4 builds without visualization and/or UI drivers? Please advise. And please update your 10.6 documentation to be consistent with the actual behavior of the code!
Hi, They are really removed and you should not use them. We have to update the according documentation. Laurent
