- selected with '+strict' in WM_COMPILE_CONTROL or 'wmake -strict', it
enables the FOAM_DEPRECATED_STRICT() macro, which can be used to
mark methods that are implicitly deprecated, but are not yet marked
as full deprecated (eg, API modification is too recent, generates
too many warnings). Can be considered a developer option.
- naming like std::map::try_emplace(), it behaves like emplace_set()
if there is no element at the given location otherwise a no-op
ENH: reuse existing HashPtrTable 'slot' when setting pointers
- avoids extra HashTable operations
This class is largely a pre-C++11 holdover. It is now possible to
simply use move construct/assignment directly.
In a few rare cases (eg, polyMesh::resetPrimitives) it has been
replaced by an autoPtr.
- some functionality similar to what the standary library <iterator>
provides.
* stdFoam::begin() and stdFoam::end() do type deduction,
which means that many cases it is possible to manage these types
of changes.
For example, when managing a number of indices:
Map<labelHashSet> lookup;
1) Longhand:
for
(
Map<labelHashSet>::const_iterator iter = lookup.begin();
iter != lookup.end();
++iter
)
{ .... }
1b) The same, but wrapped via a macro:
forAllConstIter(Map<labelHashSet>, lookup, iter)
{ .... }
2) Using stdFoam begin/end templates directly
for
(
auto iter = stdFoam::begin(lookup);
iter != stdFoam::end(lookup);
++iter
)
{ .... }
2b) The same, but wrapped via a macro:
forAllConstIters(lookup, iter)
{ .... }
Note that in many cases it is possible to simply use a range-based for.
Eg,
labelList myList;
for (auto val : myList)
{ ... }
for (const auto& val : myList)
{ ... }
These however will not work with any of the OpenFOAM hash-tables,
since the standard C++ concept of an iterator would return a key,value
pair when deferencing the *iter.
The deduction methods also exhibits some slightly odd behaviour with
some PtrLists (needs some more investigation).
