Errata - SAGA Core API v.1

This is an informal collection of ERRATA to GFD.90, SAGA Core 1.0. A more formal errata document will be published once sufficent experience will be available. Meanwhile, we collect appearing items here.

• page 247, package saga.file, class iovec:
  • set_offset method also throws BadParameter when "out of bounds": size >= 0 && len_in + offset > size
  • set_len_in method also throws BadParameter when "out of bounds": size >= 0 && len_in + offset > size

• page 254, package saga.file, class file:
  • read_v method also throws BadParameter when "out of bounds": when no len_in is specified, the buffer size is used instead as len_in. If, in this case, offset > 0 a BadParameter exception is thrown.

• page 255, package saga.file, class file:
  • write_v method also throws BadParameter when "out of bounds": when no len_in is specified, the buffer size is used instead as len_in. If, in this case, offset > 0 a BadParameter exception is thrown.

• page 246, package saga.file, class iovec:
  • The iovec constructor can also throw NotImplemented, as its base buffer can, and as all constructors should be able to.

• page 47, package saga.object, enum object_type:
  • '0' should be added as 'object', which would also imply 'Any'. That can be used for searching for specific object types in advert.dir.find ().

• page 35, package saga.error, class exception
  • the exception c'tor and d'tor don't need to be avilable on API level.

• page 83, package saga.context, class context
  • the method name set_defaults() is unfortunate, as it does not set defaults, but the settings depend on existing attributes. get_properties() or complete_properties() may be better names.
