Will Bainbridge 5893e29241 debug: Fixed behaviour of -listSwitches argument
There is now only one -listSwitches argument available to the
applications; -listUnsetSwitches and -listRegisteredSwitches have been
removed. -listSwitches prints everything, now also including the values.
It also categorises the output based on whether the switch has a
default, if it has the same value as that default, and whether or not it
is registered with a re-reader.

The list of debug switches in etc/controlDict has been reduced to only
the switches which have non-zero values. In general the list of valid
switches varies per application and per library, so it is not possible
to keep a single definitive list of all switches. The -listSwitches
argument provides the definitive list on a per applicaton basis.

Setting of defaults for named enum optimisation switches has been added.

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
