Generally fields and objects are selected using the 'field[s]' and
'object[s]' keywords but this was not consistent between all
functionObject, fvOptions etc. and now fixed by applying the following
renaming:
fieldName -> field
fieldNames -> fields
objectName -> object
objectNames -> objects
- Avoids the need for the 'OutputFilterFunctionObject' wrapper
- Time-control for execution and writing is now provided by the
'timeControlFunctionObject' which instantiates the processing
'functionObject' and controls its operation.
- Alternative time-control functionObjects can now be written and
selected at run-time without the need to compile wrapped version of
EVERY existing functionObject which would have been required in the
old structure.
- The separation of 'execute' and 'write' functions is now formalized in the
'functionObject' base-class and all derived classes implement the
two functions.
- Unnecessary implementations of functions with appropriate defaults
in the 'functionObject' base-class have been removed reducing
clutter and simplifying implementation of new functionObjects.
- The 'coded' 'functionObject' has also been updated, simplified and tested.
- Further simplification is now possible by creating some general
intermediate classes derived from 'functionObject'.
