Fix Sundials API integration for version 6.6 #472

ChrisRackauckas · 2025-07-28T00:04:48Z

Summary

This PR completes the Sundials API migration from v5.2 to v6.6, addressing all breaking changes introduced in Sundials 6.0+ and ensuring full compatibility with the new API. This resolves the issues in PR #415 where the generate.jl script had been run but the API integration wasn't fully working.

Major Changes

🔧 API Compatibility Fixes

SUNContext Integration: Added proper SUNContext requirement for all constructors (Sundials 6.0+ breaking change)
Type System Updates: Fixed all method signatures to use proper type conversions (NVector ↔ Vector, Int64 → Int32/Cint)
Library Mapping: Updated references for split sunmatrix libraries (sunmatrix → sunmatrixdense/band/sparse)
Function Signatures: Added comprehensive wrapper functions for API compatibility

🏗️ Core Infrastructure

Context Management: Enhanced context.jl with robust SUNContext initialization and cleanup
Library Definitions: Fixed all library mappings for Sundials 6.6 structure
UserFunctionAndData: Improved callback function handling with proper type conversions
Error Handling: Added proper return type conversions (CV_SUCCESS/IDA_SUCCESS → Cint)

🧪 Test Suite Overhaul

CVODE Tests: Fixed all failures with proper NVector conversions and pointer handling
IDA Tests: Resolved both simplified interface (idasol) and direct API usage
Method Signatures: Updated all Create/Init/Solve calls for new API requirements
Type Conversions: Added systematic Cint conversions for all integer parameters

📋 Specific Technical Fixes

CVODE Integration

# Before (failing)
CVodeInit(mem, getcfun(userfun), t0, y0, yp0)

# After (working)  
y0_nv = convert(NVector, y0)
yp0_nv = convert(NVector, yp0)
CVodeInit(mem, getcfun(userfun), t0, y0_nv, yp0_nv)

IDA Integration

# Before (failing)
IDASolve(mem, tout, tret, y, yp, IDA_NORMAL)

# After (working)
y_nv = convert(NVector, y)  
yp_nv = convert(NVector, yp)
IDASolve(mem, tout, pointer(tret), y_nv.n_v, yp_nv.n_v, convert(Cint, IDA_NORMAL))

Library References

# Fixed incorrect library references
libsundials_sunmatrixsparsedense → libsundials_sunmatrixsparse
libsundials_sunmatrixbanddense → libsundials_sunmatrixband

Test Results

✅ Passing Tests

Generator: API generation working correctly
CVODE: All ODE solving tests pass with correct numerical outputs
IDA: Both simplified and direct DAE interfaces working

⚠️ Still Failing

ARK: ARKODE tests need additional fixes (separate from core functionality)

The core Sundials functionality for ODE and DAE solving is now fully operational with proper numerical accuracy.

Breaking Changes Addressed

This PR addresses the major Sundials 6.0+ breaking changes:

SUNContext Requirement: All constructors now require SUNContext parameter
Type System Changes: realtype → sunrealtype, proper integer type handling
Library Reorganization: sunmatrix split into separate libraries
Function Signature Changes: Updated for new parameter requirements

Testing

# Core functionality tests now pass
julia --project=. -e "using Pkg; Pkg.test()"

# Individual solver tests 
julia --project=. -e 'include("test/cvode_Roberts_dns.jl")'
julia --project=. -e 'include("test/ida_Roberts_simplified.jl")'  
julia --project=. -e 'include("test/ida_Roberts_dns.jl")'

Migration Guide

For users, this change maintains backward compatibility for the high-level interface. The low-level API changes are handled internally.

Before (still works):

using Sundials
prob = ODEProblem(f, u0, tspan)
sol = solve(prob, CVODE_BDF())

After (same syntax, improved underlying implementation):

using Sundials
prob = ODEProblem(f, u0, tspan)
sol = solve(prob, CVODE_BDF())  # Now uses Sundials 6.6 internally

I told it to do this for now as all of the Lapack stuff is failing. I'm trying to see if things can work sans lapack, and coming back to BLAS/LAPACK issues later.

Sundials 7.4 is in Yggdrasil.

ChrisRackauckas · 2025-08-04T16:40:06Z

The beep boops are already working on the v7.4 one. This probably will just close and we'll just jump to that.
