6.1 Using MITgcm Packages

The set of packages that will be used within a partiucular model can be configured using a combination of both ``compile-time'' and ``run-time'' options. Compile-time options are those used to select which packages will be ``compiled in'' or implemented within the program. Packages excluded at compile time are completely absent from the executable program(s) and thus cannot be later activated by any set of subsequent run-time options.

• 6.1.1 Package Inclusion/Exclusion
• 6.1.2 Package Activation
• 6.1.3 Package Coding Standards
  • 6.1.3.1 Packages are Not Libraries
  • 6.1.3.2 File Inclusion Rules
  • 6.1.3.3 Conditional Compilation and PACKAGES_CONFIG.h
  • 6.1.3.4 Package Startup or Boot Sequence
  • 6.1.3.5 Adding a package to PARAMS.h and packages_boot()
