- since 1612, FOAM_INST_DIR and foamInstDir longer have any
special meanings when sourcing the bashrc or cshrc files.
Thus no need for special treatment in any of the dispatch wrappers.
Retained FOAM_INST_DIR as (unexported) variable in etc/bashrc,
just in case people are using patched versions of etc/bashrc
as part of their installation.
ENH: relax prefix restrictions on foamCreateVideo (issue #904)
- shift the implicit '.' to be part of the default prefix. This allows
things like "-image myimages_00" to work as might be expected.
- respect trailing '-', '.', '_' for the image prefix name.
For example,
-image press_ to accept press_*.png
- additional -mask width option (for avconv)
- Don't remove the constant/polyMesh directory if it contains a
blockMeshDict or blockMeshDict.m4 file. Offer a reminder that
system/ is the normal place for it.
- add additional control via a Foam::infoDetailLevel flag, which is
supported by a 'DetailLevel' macro. Eg,
DetailLevel << "some information" << nl
- When infoDetailLevel is zero, the stdout for all Foam::system() calls
are also redirected to stderr to prevent child output from
appearing on the parent.
- close stdin before exec in system call.
- The additional output generated by #calc directives in the
controlDict or decomposeParDict causes issues for the RunFunctions
extraction of 'application' and 'numberOfSubdomains'.
Avoid by using -disableFunctionEntries, which also has the side-effect
of disabling '#include'.
- now report as "min = XX max = YY average = ZZ"
instead of as "min/max/average = XX, YY, ZZ"
this makes it easier to parse any particular value
(eg, with foamLog)
- a -valgrind option for logging with valgrind
- determine number of processors from system/decomposeParDict
or -decomposeParDict if -np was not specified
- generalize some of the library extensions (.so vs .dylib).
Provide as wmake 'sysFunctions'
- added note about unsupported/incomplete system support
- centralize detection of ThirdParty packages into wmake/ subdirectory
by providing a series of scripts in the spirit of GNU autoconfig.
For example,
have_boost, have_readline, have_scotch, ...
Each of the `have_<package>` scripts will generally provide the
following type of functions:
have_<package> # detection
no_<package> # reset
echo_<package> # echoing
and the following type of variables:
HAVE_<package> # unset or 'true'
<package>_ARCH_PATH # root for <package>
<package>_INC_DIR # include directory for <package>
<package>_LIB_DIR # library directory for <package>
This simplifies the calling scripts:
if have_metis
then
wmake metisDecomp
fi
As well as reducing clutter in the corresponding Make/options:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(METIS_INC_DIR) \
-I../decompositionMethods/lnInclude
LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(METIS_LIB_DIR) -lmetis
Any additional modifications (platform-specific or for an external build
system) can now be made centrally.
- forward command-line arguments for paraview, where they may also be
evaluated (cshrc, POSIX shell)
Eg,
. etc/bashrc ParaView_VERSION=5.4.1-mpipy
source etc/cshrc ParaView_VERSION=5.4.1-mpipy
- export library path for gmp/mpfr from CGAL config files.
This is required when non-system gmp/mpfr libraries are being
used, but not using a ThirdParty compiler installation.
- automatically handle lib/ vs lib64/ (eg, for central installations)
for packages such as boost, CGAL, etc. While the ThirdParty
compilation of these will normally land in lib64/, this may not be
the case when they are supplied by another means.
- reworked the handling of foamEtcFile and foamCleanPath for less
clutter in the configuration files.
Added the bin/tools/lib-dir script to handle logic that is
too complex to easily manage in csh.
- for tutorials that are known to run poorly, can provide a
placeholder Allrun-optional instead of the usual Allrun script.
If this is detected, the case will be skipped.

The multiphaseInterDyMFoam tutorials have been moved into the multiphaseInterFoam directory.
This change is one of a set of developments to merge dynamic mesh functionality
into the standard solvers to improve consistency, usability, flexibility and
maintainability of these solvers.

rhoReactingFoam: Updated for changes to rhoPimpleFoam files
Now pimpleDyMFoam is exactly equivalent to pimpleFoam when running on a
staticFvMesh. Also when the constant/dynamicMeshDict is not present a
staticFvMesh is automatically constructed so that the pimpleDyMFoam solver can
run any pimpleFoam case without change.

- unknown options or missing option values now emit a shorter message
without the entire usage. This makes it easier to identify the errors
and is better aligned with the behaviour of GNU system tools.

- provide for reduced (-help) and full (-help-full) usage information.
In many cases the reduced usage provided sufficient and easier
to find the information.
- make -srcDoc an alias for -doc-source
- no warnings about option aliases for future dates.
- this reduces the number of functions and allows lazy loading of
completion options, which makes it easy to quickly add any other
OpenFOAM application in completion.
The generic '_of_complete_' function handles (bash) completion for
any OpenFOAM application. On the first call for any particular
application, it retrieves the available options from the application
help output and adds this information to its environmental cache for
subsequent use.
- Tcsh completion uses the same function via a bash wrapper.
But since its wrapper is transient, the on-the-fly generation would
be less efficient. For this case, a pre-generated completion_cache
can be used, which is generated with
bin/tools/foamCreateCompletionCache
- handles the case where we are currently completing something that
does not appear to be an option. For example,
foamDictionary -expanded someD[TAB]
should complete the filename, not present more options.
