Detailed Description

Main plumed object.

In MD engines this object is not manipulated directly but it is wrapped in plumed or PLMD::Plumed objects. Its main method is cmd(), which defines completely the external plumed interface. It does not contain any static data.

◆ callErrorHandler()

bool PLMD::PlumedMain::callErrorHandler	(	int	code,
		const char *	msg
	)		const

		const void *	val
	)

inlineinherited

Const val version, which indeed just overrides the const and call the virtual method.

◆ cmd() [2/4]

void PLMD::WithCmd::cmd

inline

Const val version, which indeed just overrides the const and call the virtual method.

◆ cmd() [3/4]

virtual void PLMD::WithCmd::cmd

This has to be implemented in daughter classes.

void PLMD::PlumedMain::cmd	(	const std::string &	key,
		void *	val = `NULL`
	)

virtual

cmd method, accessible with standard Plumed.h interface.

Parameters

key	The name of the command to be executed.
val	The argument of the command to be executed. It is called as plumed_cmd() or as PLMD::Plumed::cmd() It is the interpreter for plumed commands. It basically contains the definition of the plumed interface. If you want to add a new functionality to the interface between plumed and an MD engine, this is the right place Notice that this interface should always keep retro-compatibility

Implements PLMD::WithCmd.

This is a (bit dirty) hack to solve a bug. When there is no active ActionPilot, several shortcuts are used. However, these shortcuts can block GREX module. This function allows to enforce active plumed when doing exchanges, thus fixing the bug.
