12.5  The Union_stop McStas Component

Deprecated no-op placeholder, kept for backward compatibility.

Identification

• Author: Mads Bertelsen

Description

Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus sperates geometry and physics within McStas.

This component used to be required as the LAST component. It pulled in the dispatch switch (union-suffix.c) so it would be compiled after all the process components had defined their PROCESS DETECTOR macros.

That is no longer needed: each process registers its own case with the dispatch in Union_master, whose TRACE code is compiled after every component SHARE section. The Union_init and Union_stop components are therefore optional.

This definition is kept only so that existing instruments that still place a Union_stop component continue to compile. It emits a deprecation warning and has no effect.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
