Mother-son matings #48

Closed andersonwinkler closed 2 years ago

andersonwinkler commented 2 years ago

Thank you for this wonderful program. Mother-son and father-daughter relationships are rare among humans but not so among animals and plants. Mythology is full of these cases too (I know, it'd be an unintended use of the program). Still, any chance such cases of inbreeding could become available? Consider this famous and relatively simple pedigree:

FamilyId IndividualId Gender Father Mother
1 Oedipus M Laius Jocasta
1 Polyneices M Oedipus Jocasta
1 Eteocles M Oedipus Jocasta
1 Ismene F Oedipus Jocasta
1 Antigone F Oedipus Jocasta

If we try to run, we receive:

Unrecoverable Error: Individual::addSpouse(): Oedipus's spouse Jocasta is also his mother: Program currently cannot handle mother-son matings.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Exception'
Aborted (core dumped)

Thanks!

Unfortunately I am busy on other projects at the moment. I had considered these issues sufficiently to produce the coherent error messages which you saw, but it seems like actually solving the issues will require a lot of work, which at the moment I don't have time to do.

You are of course welcome to dig into the code and propose solutions if you want to.

Best Wishes -- Ed Trager

Dear Ed, Thank you for the feedback. It doesn't seem straightforward -- needs familiarity with the code. I appreciate nonetheless. All the best, Anderson
