Cactus Data Types

To provide portability across platforms, the Cactus grid variables and parameters are defined and declared using Cactus data types. The most important of these data types are described below, for a full description see Section B10.8. These data types should be used to declare local variables where needed, and to declare Cactus grid variables or parameters that need declarations.
