Changeset 15459 for trunk/FACT++

Timestamp:

04/30/13 10:47:46 (12 years ago)

Author:

Message:

Some little more restructuring; flag a file to be closed as soon as an event of a new run has been received; try to reset runCtrl if not needed anymore (this is not a fix, more like a workaround)

File:

• trunk/FACT++/src/EventBuilder.c (modified) (25 diffs)
