Maximum size of a cuboid for writing to .vti

[jb]

I noticed that my (2D) code crashed with a Segmentation Fault when the domain size became to big.
I fixed it by changing the following in superVtmWriterXD.hh

change this:

Code:

float bufferFloat[fullSize];

to this:

Code:

float* bufferFloat = new float[fullSize];

to allow bigger domain sizes for a limited number of cpu’s with MPI.

I would be happy to hear if I fixed this well.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.

I have fixed this in our master branch through

Code:

std::unique_ptr<float[]> bufferFloat(new float[fullSize]);

which handles deleting the allocated memory as well. The same approach was already implemented in the 3D case.

Ok, great! Thanks for the update with the improved fix.
