@pcarbo where does that failure come from in the first place? The path does not exist, or filename too long? I never ran into this in my applications (which has long file names generated from bioinformatics workflows) so perhaps this is also machine dependent?
I'm not sure if we want to fix it at this point because we'll use udr
to replace this implementation anyways. I think many people are still having issue installing gsl (that the old ED uses) on their computer. Might be better to prioritize on udr
development.
I agree it is not high priority, but I thought it would be good to keep track of this issue here.
When there is a failure writing to the log file when using the
logfile
option incov_ed
, the error looks like this:We should add a check for log file failures in
cov_ed
so that we don't end up with a segfault—i.e., we should handle this error more gracefully.
