I'm afraid I'm seeing problems with roundtripping from SMILES through 0D, 2D or 3D MDL.
If you run pytest_sym (e.g. "ctest -R pytest_sym -VV"), you should see several errors (http://my.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=3025177&build=99128). As an example, one of the errors can be shown as follows: $ ./obabel -:"Cl[C@@](Br)(F)I" -osdf -Otmp.sdf ============================== *** Open Babel Warning in WriteMolecule No 2D or 3D coordinates exist. Any stereochemical information will be lost. To generate 2D or 3D coordinates use --gen2D or --gen3d. 1 molecule converted (tmp.sdf is correct) $ ./obabel tmp.sdf -osmi ClC(Br)(F)I # should be the starting SMILES with stereo Whatever you think of the merits of preserving chiral stereochemistry in a 0D mol file, this was working until the 31 file update on Sunday (http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=Open+Babel&date=2010-09-19). - Noel On 20 September 2010 21:23, Tim Vandermeersch <tim.vandermeer...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Here are some comments regarding my commits from yesterday. > > The type used to represent automorphisms has been changed from > std::vector< std::map<unsigned int, unsigned int> > to std::vector< > std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int> >.
