replace system() call with vfork/exec combination (issue #185)
Tested systemCall function object, dynamicCode, but should be rechecked with IB+openmpi
@Prashant
See merge request !55
The normal library system() command uses 'fork', which causes
problems on IB+OPENMPI.
STYLE: add Foam:: qualifier to system calls to make them easier to spot.
- this option overrides any controlDict settings as a convenient means
to selecting profiling without messing with the controlDict.
- provide Profiling::writeNow() to emit profiling for utilities that
don't have any natural time increment mechanism to trigger it.
To compile with 64bit labels set
WM_LABEL_SIZE=64
in ~/OpenFOAM/dev/prefs.sh
source ~/.bashrc
then Allwmake in OpenFOAM-dev.
This will build into for example OpenFOAM-dev/platforms/linux64ClangDPInt64Opt
If WM_LABEL_SIZE is unset or set to 32:
WM_LABEL_SIZE=32
the build would be placed into OpenFOAM-dev/platforms/linux64ClangDPInt32Opt
Thus both 32bit and 64bit label builds can coexist without problem.
Links are followed in most cases, with some notable exceptions:
- mv, mvBak:
renames the link, not the underlying file/directory
- rmDir:
remove the symlink to a directory, does not recurse into the
underlying directory
- alternative to WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site for systems with locked down
installation paths (eg, when packaged as RPM or deb)
When "$WM_PROJECT_SITE" is defined, it is used in favour of
"$WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site"
- OSspecific: chmod() -> chMod(), even although it's not used anywhere
- ListOps get subset() and inplaceSubset() templated on BoolListType
- added UList<bool>::operator[](..) const specialization.
Returns false (actually pTraits<bool>::zero) for out-of-range elements.
This lets us use List<bool> with lazy evaluation and no noticeable
change in performance.
- use rcIndex() and fcIndex() wherever possible.
Could check if branching or modulus is faster for fcIndex().
- UList and FixedList get 'const T* cdata() const' and 'T* data()' members.
Similar to the STL front() and std::string::data() methods, they return a
pointer to the first element without needing to write '&myList[0]', recast
begin() or violate const-ness.
- removed the previously added fileName type(), isDir(), isFile() methods.
- added optional bool parameter to isFile() function to explicitly
enable/disable the check for gzip files.
- fixed minor bugginess where the default usage of isFile() would result in
false positive matches.
- be slightly more stringent and use isDir() and isFile() instead of
exists() function when we actually know the expected type.
- if mandatory is true, findEtcFile() will abort with a message (via cerr).
This allows a non-existent file to be caught at the lowest level and avoid
error handling in IFstream, which might not be initialized at that stage.
