Under Octave, the default seed in fs2000ns_uncorr_ME.mod leads to a generated
dataset that makes fs2000ns_corr_ME.mod and fs2000ns_corr_ME_missing.mod
fail (due to a large difference between univariate and multivariate diffuse
filters).
In particular, in the case of an 'mcp' tag, this could lead to a convergence
failure.
Also modify the lmmpc/rbcii.mod test so that it fails if convergence is not
obtained, in order to detect such regressions earlier.
Closes: #1697
This preprocessor update also includes the following changes:
— removal of license.txt, now merged in back in the main Dynare one
– various code simplifications and modernizations in the macro processor
— minor code simplification in parsing of the --+ options: … +-- line
Because at some point throwing exceptions from MEX files (with mexErrMsgTxt())
was not working under Windows 64-bit, we had designed a workaround to avoid
using exceptions.
Most MEX files were returning an error code as their first (or sometimes last)
argument, and that code would have to be checked from the MATLAB code.
Since this workaround is no longer needed, this commit removes it. As a
consequence, the interface of many MEX files is modified.

- `dynasave`: if a variable being saved was named `n` or `s`, the `eval` statements would break the code
- `dynasave`: use the `-struct` option to `save` to avoid `eval` statements
- `dynasave` and `dynatype`: do everything in 1 loop instead of 2
- `dynasave` and `dynatype`: use `strcmp` instead of `strfind`
- preprocessor update contains:
- Partial reversion of global indentation of macro processor header files introduced in e2d5a83592634f0604d8c86409748cd2ec5906d2
- Symbol List check pass: allow caller to specify the valid types of variables in a Symbol List
- Allow `dynasave` and `dynatype` to support exogenous variables in their var_list
issue #1691
Note that I still need to do a code clean up (provide some licenses for functions from other people) and to double check order=3. There is also much room for speed and memory improvement, but the code works fine for now. I will also provide more information to the merge request soon about the detailed changes for future reference.
It applies the approximated policy function to a set of particles, using
Dynare++ routines.
There is support for parallelization, using Dynare++ multithreading
model (itself based on C++11 threads; we don’t use OpenMP because it is
incompatible with MKL). For the time being, default to a single thread. This
should be later refined through empirical testing.
Under Octave, having namespaces called “get” and “set” overshadows the builtin
functions with the same names, which are needed for graphics manipulation.
Therefore we go back to the initial function naming scheme, but moving all
those functions under an “accessors” subdirectory.
Among other things, this is a revert of
e4134ab59b and
c5e86fcb59.

I’m not sure it has ever worked.
As a consequence, remove the workaround that had apparently been implemented in
tests/initval_file/ramst_initval_file.mod.
— “ramsey_policy”: bugfix when no option is passed
— various improvements to “epilogue” (preprocessor#36)
— compatibility with Bison 3.5
— bugfix in search for constant equations
— new “planner_discount_latex_name” option of “ramsey_policy” (Closes: #1686)
Accordingly update the MATLAB routines, the testsuite, and the manual.
In particular, “squeeze_shock_decomp” has been renamed to
“squeeze_shock_decomposition” for consistency with other commands.
