Describe the bug
Another developer an into a field in
avtMeshMetaData
that is a bit odd and commented about it.It is beign set in only four databases...
I went looking for whether
hasNumberOfCells
andnumberCells
are used or whether their respective setter/getters were used anywhere in VisIt. The only instance I found was...visit/src/operators/IndexSelect/IndexSelectViewerEnginePluginInfo.C
Lines 270 to 277 in 9b3fbd1
These fields appear to have been introduced by @ARSanderson back in 2011 and my guess is they were introduced to provide additional info in debug logging and then somehow got used in setting default maximum index for 1D index select operations. But, that will work only for the handful of database plugins that use it.
