[Mesa-users] Some routines in run_star_extras not called during binary evolution

[Jeremy Sakstein]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to add some modifications to the run_star_extars in the binary
module in mesa-r12778 and it appears to me that some functions are not
being called. Specifically, it looks to me like extras_start_step and
extras_after_evolve are not being called.

To test this, I wrote write(*,*) statements into each routine but the print
statements for extras_start_step and extras_after_evolve but they did not
display on the terminal. I did the same for extras_controls and
extras_finish_step and these did write to the terminal.

To test this further I added a global integer that is set to zero in
extras_controls, set to 1 in extras_start_step, and written to the terminal
in extras_finish_step. The write statement gives zero, indicating that
extars_start_step is not being called.

I am attaching a simple run_star_extras that can be used to reproduce this.
It is a modified version of the version found in the 'evolve_both_stars'
test_suite. I checked for 'star_plus_point_mass' and it also seems to be
the case that these routines are not being called.

Am I correct that they are not being called and, if so, is there a way of
calling them?

Cheers,

Jeremy
