I would still advise using the forcing to be done through some
arithmetic nodes - like adding a zero vector to point positions etc.

the problem with this is that with the log node present in the tree,
the icetree will evaluate on every frame even if you have two
different evaluation stacks. Like if you have a tree in the modeling
stack and additionally to that a tree in the sim stack. If you now put
a log node into the tree in the modeling stack, it will force the tree
to evaluate on every frame even though the sim stack would make the
stacks below only evaluate on the first frame. Hope this makes sense.
This case makes it even more clear that we need a way of disabling the
automatic optimization of ICE values.

yep, that´s the most reliable way to do it. just make a small
compound with the log node and deactivate the log checkbox.
then you can drop it onto your connection to the set data or
whatever node ...

one way of doing it is to put a "Log Values" between the data and
the setData node. Even if the log node is muted, Log is
unchecked, this node forces the attributes to be evaluated.

I know I know, I used to have various hacky ways to 'force' an
attribute to be stored in a cache. daisychaining them or storing
userdata in the color or whatever ;) all of them have failed
me at
some point until I happened upon a demo ICE topo scene
provided by
Ciaran Moloney and saw that every single attribute used in
the tree
was diligently applied as a separate Custom attribute
display. Even
some built in attributes that you would expect to cache. when
trying
to recreate the exact setup, if any of those attributes were
NOT in a
custom display attribute then the topo caching / read /write
system
would fail.
so, like I said, to me, this is the ONLY way to reliably
store user
stuff in a cache that I have found so far. I like to think
when I am
setting up each of these custom display attributes (after a
failed
attribute cache) that each button press and menu select in
the process
is like hammering in a nail . that *hit* goddam *hit* attribute
*hit* had better *hit* store *hit* this time!!! *Hit* *Hit*
*Hit*
