- now only needed when specify compiling -m32 on a 64-bit system.
Internally use the __SIZEOF_LONG__ compiler macro (gcc, icc, llvm)
to define when long is actually an int32_t.
- with the changes added in #1256 and corresponding updates to
ThirdParty we can stop exporting these variables:
WM_CC WM_CFLAGS WM_CXX WM_CXXFLAGS WM_LDFLAGS
- fix typo in makefiles/info that affected wmake -show-compile-c
- additional safeguard in src/OpenFOAM/Make/options against self-linking.
This is not normally required unless PROJECT_LIBS has been added into
the link stage.
solaris:
- rename WM_ARCH from SunOS to solaris64 for consistency with wmake/rules
- drop non-64 solaris from wmake/rules
- remove automatic selection of FJMPI. This should be done in the bashrc
or prefs.sh file instead.
- remove old (likely inaccurate) exported flags, rely on wmake -show-xyz
or user config instead
darwin:
- remove '-Ddarwin' from the exported WM_CFLAGS, WM_CXXFLAGS.
Not used elsewhere (ThirdParty)
- While a rectilinear mesh can be created with blockMesh, not every mesh
created with blockMesh will satisfy the requirements for being a
rectilinear mesh.
This alternative to blockMesh uses a single block that is aligned
with the xy-z directions and specifications of the control points,
mesh divisions and expansion ratios. For example,
x
{
points ( -13.28 -0.10 6.0 19.19 );
nCells ( 10 12 10 );
ratios ( 0.2 1 5 );
}
y { ... }
z { ... }
With only one block, the boundary patch definition is simple and the
canonical face number is used directly. For example,
inlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 0 );
}
outlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 1 );
}
sides
{
type patch;
faces ( 2 3 );
}
...
- After a mesh is defined, it is trivial to retrieve mesh-related
information such as cell-volume, cell-centres for any i-j-k location
without an actual polyMesh.
STYLE: remove -noFunctionObjects from blockMesh
- no time loop, so function objects cannot be triggered anyhow.
- in addition to managing different vendors and versions, it may also
be necessary or desirable to have a particular variant
(eg, profiling, release, etc).
Devise a new meaningful name for the variant and create a
corresponding wmake rule.
Eg, SYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling with a corresponding
"wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/mplibSYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling" file
that has suitable content for your system.
CONFIG: intel-mpi use intel64/ paths only for config and wmake rules (#1153)
- previously adjusted the config files, but missed the changes
required for the wmake rules too.
Now simply migrate to using "intel64/{include,bin,lib}"
instead of the older naming "{include,bin,lib}64"
These changes work since at least intel-mpi 2015 (5.x), but possibly
earlier as well
- was WM_PROJECT_API in the environment and FOAM_API in dictionaries.
Make these both consistently FOAM_API.
This is a non-breaking change, since the value of WM_PROJECT_API
(added in 1812) and/or FOAM_API is purely informative.
For the current correct values, always use
* foamEtcFile -show-api
* wmakeBuildInfo -show-api
- If using a non-clang compiler suite (gcc, intel, etc) the additional
lbraries required for mesa with llvm pipelines may not be found.
Provide a mesa_llvm configuration with in the 'vtk' config file.
Can use the usual types of settings
* mesa_llvm=llvm-4.0.1
* mesa_llvm=none
* mesa_llvm=system
- Note: mpich now builds libmpi.so instead of libmpich.so
- define both -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX and -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX regardless of
using openmpi or mpich. This simplifies the files and does not harm.
- was for parallel compilation across multiple hosts, but less useful
with modern CPUs with higher number of cores and/or hyperthreading.
Fragile use and dependent on a 'lockfile' utility that is not often
installed.

- the utility had automatic triangulation removed some time ago, but
never changed its name.
- catch old uses with a surfaceMeshTriangulate deprecated script
- for some special cases we wish to mark command-line arguments as
being optional, in order to do our own treatment. For example,
when an arbitrary number of arguments should be allowed.
Now tag this situation with argList::noMandatoryArgs().
The argList::argsMandatory() query can then be used in any further
logic, including the standard default argument checking.
- with the new default check, can consolidate the special-purpose
"setRootCaseNonMandatoryArgs.H"
into the regular
"setRootCase.H"
- revert to a simple "setRootCase.H" and move all the listing related
bits to a "setRootCaseLists.H" file. This leaves the information
available for solvers, or whoever else wishes, without being
introduced everywhere.
- add include guards and scoping to the listing files and rename to
something less generic.
listOptions.H -> setRootCaseListOptions.H
listOutput.H -> setRootCaseListOutput.H
- change previous default (convert all faceZones unless -noFaceZones
specified) with the default behaviour to only convert face zones on
request.
- uses the '-faceZones' option as per foamToEnsight
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- Use the OPENFOAM define (eg, 1806, 1812), which normally corresponds
to a major release, to define an API level. This remains consistent
within a release cycle and means that it is possible to manage
several sub-versions and continue to have a consistent lookup.
The current API value is updated automatically during the build
and cached as meta data for later use, even when the wmake/ directory
is missing or OpenFOAM has not yet be initialized.
The version information reported on program start or with -help
usage adjusted to reflect this. The build tag from git now also
carries the date as being more meaningful to trace than a hash
value.
- Update etc/bashrc and etc/cshrc to obtain the project directory
directly instead of via its prefix directory. The value obtained
corresponds to an absolute path, from which the prefix directory
can be obtained.
The combination of these changes removes the reliance on any
particular directory naming convention.
For example,
With an 1812 version (API level):
WM_PROJECT_VERSION=myVersion
installed as /some/path/somewhere/openfoam-mySandbox
This makes the -prefix, -foamInstall, -projectVersion, -version
values of foamEtcFiles, and similar entries for foamConfigurePaths
superfluous.
WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR is no longer required or used
ENH: improve handling and discovery of ThirdParty
- improve the flexibility and reusability of ThirdParty packs to cover
various standard use cases:
1. Unpacking initial release tar files with two parallel directories
- OpenFOAM-v1812/
- ThirdParty-v1812/
2. With an adjusted OpenFOAM directory name, for whatever reason
- OpenFOAM-v1812-myCustom/
- openfoam-1812-other-info/
3. Operating with/without ThirdParty directory
To handle these use cases, the following discovery is used.
Note PROJECT = the OpenFOAM directory `$WM_PROJECT_DIR`
PREFIX = the parent directory
VERSION = `$WM_PROJECT_VERSION`
API = `$WM_PROJECT_API`, as per `foamEtcFiles -show-api`
0. PROJECT/ThirdParty
- for single-directory installations
1. PREFIX/ThirdParty-VERSION
- this corresponds to the traditional approach
2. PREFIX/ThirdParty-vAPI
- allows for an updated value of VERSION (eg, v1812-myCustom)
without requiring a renamed ThirdParty. The API value
would still be '1812' and the original ThirdParty-v1812/
would be found.
3. PREFIX/ThirdParty-API
- this is the same as the previous example, but using an unadorned
API value. This also makes sense if the chosen version name also
uses the unadorned API value in its naming
(eg, 1812-patch190131, 1812.19W03)
4. PREFIX/ThirdParty-common
- permits maximum reuse for various versions, but only for
experienced user who are aware of potential version
incompatibilities
Directory existence is checked as is the presence of an Allwmake file
or a platforms/ directory. This reduces the potential of false positive
matches and limits the selection to directories that are either
with sources (has the Allwmake file), or pre-compiled binaries (has
the platforms/ directory).
If none of the explored directories are found to be suitable,
it reverts to using a PROJECT/ThirdParty dummy location since
this is within the project source tree and can be trusted to
have no negative side-effects.
ENH: add csh support to foamConfigurePaths
- this removes the previously experienced inconsistence in config file
contents.
REMOVED: foamExec
- was previously used when switching versions and before the
bashrc/cshrc discovery logic was added. It is now obsolete.
- was PREFIX/site, now PROJECT/site
This avoids several issues when installing OpenFOAM in clusters
without an intermediate OpenFOAM-specific installation prefix.
The 'site' directory may have a reserved meaning in these situations
and it is undesirable to 'leak' upwards into the parent directory to
look for configuration files.
Placing the default within the project directory avoids this.
Alternative locations can be given via the WM_PROJECT_SITE variable.
