FLERR as first argument to minimum image functions in Domain class
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. versionchanged:: TBD
The ``Domain::minimum_image()`` and ``Domain::minimum_image_big()``
functions were changed to take the ``FLERR`` macros as first argument.
This way the error message indicates *where* the function was called
instead of pointing to the implementation of the function. Example:
Old:
.. code-block:: c++
double delx1 = x[i1][0] - x[i2][0];
double dely1 = x[i1][1] - x[i2][1];
double delz1 = x[i1][2] - x[i2][2];
domain->minimum_image(delx1, dely1, delz1);
double r1 = sqrt(delx1 * delx1 + dely1 * dely1 + delz1 * delz1);
double delx2 = x[i3][0] - x[i2][0];
double dely2 = x[i3][1] - x[i2][1];
double delz2 = x[i3][2] - x[i2][2];
domain->minimum_image(delx2, dely2, delz2);
double r2 = sqrt(delx2 * delx2 + dely2 * dely2 + delz2 * delz2);
New:
.. code-block:: c++
double delx1 = x[i1][0] - x[i2][0];
double dely1 = x[i1][1] - x[i2][1];
double delz1 = x[i1][2] - x[i2][2];
domain->minimum_image(FLERR, delx1, dely1, delz1);
double r1 = sqrt(delx1 * delx1 + dely1 * dely1 + delz1 * delz1);
double delx2 = x[i3][0] - x[i2][0];
double dely2 = x[i3][1] - x[i2][1];
double delz2 = x[i3][2] - x[i2][2];
domain->minimum_image(FLERR, delx2, dely2, delz2);
double r2 = sqrt(delx2 * delx2 + dely2 * dely2 + delz2 * delz2);
