Return a const pointer or nullptr on failure.
New name: findObject()
Old name: --
Return a non-const pointer or nullptr on failure.
New name: getObjectPtr()
Old name: lookupObjectRefPtr()
Return a non-const pointer or nullptr on failure.
Can be called on a const object and it will perform a
const_cast.
- use these updated names and functionality in more places
NB: The older methods names are deprecated, but continue to be defined.
- The iterator for a HashSet dereferences directly to its key.
- Eg,
for (const label patchi : patchSet)
{
...
}
vs.
forAllConstIter(labelHashSet, patchSet, iter)
{
const label patchi = iter.key();
...
}
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
Now the functionality to write single graph files or log files (vs time)
may be used in the creation of any form of functionObject, not just
those relating to a mesh region.
Replaced the 'postProcess' argument to the 'write' and 'execute'
functions with the single static member 'postProcess' in the
functionObject base-class.
