ENH: add some scalar constants for .org compatibility (#1881)
Although it can very much be a moving target, it can prove partly
useful to have some compatibility constants/methods.
- The wholesale change of 'GREAT' -> 'great' etc (JAN-2018), makes
user coding for multiple versions problematic. When
COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is defined, now define constants (aliases) named
as per the openfoam.org version. Values, however, remain identical.
- For type-safe dictionary value retrieval, we have the templated
get<> methods added around NOV-2018 and deprecated the lookupType
method.
The .org version followed suit in NOV-2019, but opted for renaming
the templated lookupType method as a templated 'lookup' method.
Using this is discouraged, but allowed when COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is
defined.
- can be used to check the validity of input values.
Example:
dict.getCheck<label>("nIters", greaterOp1<label>(0));
dict.getCheck<scalar>("relax", scalarMinMax::zero_one());
- use 'get' prefix for more regular dictionary methods.
Eg, getOrDefault() as alternative to lookupOrDefault()
- additional ops for convenient construction of predicates
ENH: make dictionary writeOptionalEntries integer
- allow triggering of Fatal if default values are used
ENH: additional scalarRange static methods: ge0, gt0, zero_one
- use GREAT instead of VGREAT for internal placeholders
- additional MinMax static methods: gt, le
- the opposite problem from issue #762. Now we also test if the input
token stream had any tokens at all.
- called by the dictionary get<> and readEntry() methods.
- when dictionary keywords change between versions, the programmer
can use these compatibility methods to help with migration.
* csearchCompat, foundCompat, lookupEntryPtrCompat, lookupEntryCompat,
lookupCompat, lookupOrDefaultCompat, readIfPresentCompat, ...
They behave like their similarly named base versions, but accept an
additional list of older keyword names augmented by a version number.
For example,
dict.readIfPresentCompat
(
"key", {{"olderName", 1612}, {"veryOld", 240}},
myscalar
);
where 1612=OpenFOAM-v1612, 240=OpenFOAM-v2.4.x, etc.
- If the entry could be directly inserted: a pointer to the inserted entry.
- If a dictionary merge was required: a pointer to the dictionary that
received the entry.
- Return nullptr on any type of insertion failure.
This change is code compatible with existing code since it only alters
a bool return value to be a pointer return value.
