- The problem is not 100% reproducible, but be somewhat conservative
and now only close(stdin) for pure background (daemon-like) use of
Foam::system(), where it can be useful.
Using Foam::system() for launching background processes is currently
only used for the doc browser.
- 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)
- 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'.
- major() and minor() are GNU macros in sys/sysmacros.h
and generates warning on some systems (eg, Ubuntu 18.04)
use getMajor() and getMinor() as method names instead.
- corrected the mass based correction and updated the misleading function
arguments
- moved the option to the optimisation switches, e.g.:
OptimisationSwitches
{
experimentalDdtCorr 1;
}
- default remains off/no (0)
- 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.
- convenient way to temporarily suspend the SIGFPE handler.
Eg,
// Normal code with SIGFPE enabled ...
sigFpe::set();
{
// Ignore SIGFPE in this scope ...
sigFpe::ignore noFpeHandling;
...
}
- use Enum instead of NamedEnum
- shorter form for dimensionedScalar
- reduce verbosity about missed seeding for DTRM cloud.
Re-enable old warnings in debug mode.
- some paraview versions (eg, on windows) don't support float, only double.
This mostly affected the vtkSurfaceWriter.
The foamToVTK is also affected, but since it also supports the XML
output formats (vtp, vtu) these can be used instead.
- affected manually generated legacy output (vtkSetWriter, vtkSurfaceWriter)
- the order emitted by vtkSetWriter remains, but needs to revisited again.
