corrupted(?) restart file

Hi - I’ve been running a rather long LAMMPS job, planning to restart as needed. Unfortunately, I get the following error when I try to restart:

ERROR: BUG: restartinfo=1 but no restart support in pair style (…/pair.cpp:698)

This is with pair_style quip, which I’ve run with restarts before. Has something changed recently with the default behavior of Pair.restartinfo, or something related?

thanks,
Noam

​yes, the extra test was added in version ​30 March 2018.

this is a bug in pair style quip. i'll include a fix for it in my bugfix
collection for the next patch release.

axel.

Axel - if this is just a flag pair quip needs to add
so the restart checking can be more consistent,
can you tell Noam what to add to his pair_quip.cpp
so he can run as before? I.e. so he doesn’t have
to wait for the next patch version?
