- improves backward compatibility and more naming consistency.
Retain setMany(iter1, iter2) to avoid ambiguity with the
PackedList::set(index, value) method.
- 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.
- this provides a better typesafe means of locating predefined cell
models than relying on strings. The lookup is now ptr() or ref()
directly. The lookup functions behave like on-demand singletons when
loading "etc/cellModels".
Functionality is now located entirely in cellModel but a forwarding
version of cellModeller is provided for API (but not ABI) compatibility
with older existing user code.
STYLE: use constexpr for cellMatcher constants
old "positions" file form
The change to barycentric-based tracking changed the contents of the
cloud "positions" file to a new format comprising the barycentric
co-ordinates and other cell position-based info. This broke
backwards compatibility, providing no option to restart old cases
(v1706 and earlier), and caused difficulties for dependent code, e.g.
for post-processing utilities that could only infer the contents only
after reading.
The barycentric position info is now written to a file called
"coordinates" with provision to restart old cases for which only the
"positions" file is available. Related utilities, e.g. for parallel
running and data conversion have been updated to be able to support both
file types.
To write the "positions" file by default, use set the following option
in the InfoSwitches section of the controlDict:
writeLagrangianPositions 1;
- previous only checked for clouds at the last instance and only
detected lagrangian fields from the first cloud.
Now check for clouds at all instances and detect all of their fields
as well.
- use allocator class to wrap the stream pointers instead of passing
them into ISstream, OSstream and using a dynamic cast to delete
then. This is especially important if we will have a bidirectional
stream (can't delete twice!).
STYLE:
- file stream constructors with std::string (C++11)
- for rewind, explicit about in|out direction. This is not currently
important, but avoids surprises with any future bidirectional access.
- combined string streams in StringStream.H header.
Similar to <sstream> include that has both input and output string
streams.
- disable automatically upgrading copyrights in files since changes to
not automatically imply a change in copyright. Eg, fixing a typo in
comments, or changing a variable from 'loopI' to 'loopi' etc.
- The reader module allows two levels of caching.
The OpenFOAM fvMesh can be cached in memory, for faster loading of
fields. Additionally, the translated VTK geometries are held in a
local cache. The cached VTK geometries should incur no additional
overhead since they use the VTK reference counting for their storage
management.
- this allows filling in the VTK structures without intermediate data
and without sequencial insertion. Should be faster and smaller
than the previous cell-wise insertion methods.
Most importantly, it improves code reuse.
- has the selected values directly and use these lookup names to store
directly into a hash. This replaces several parallel lists of
decomp information etc and makes it easier.
- less clutter and typing to use the default template parameter when
the key is 'word' anyhow.
- use EdgeMap instead of the longhand HashTable version where
appropriate
- as originally intended years ago, but never actually done.
- use 'foamPvCore' instead of 'vtkPVReaders' to avoid potential name
collisions with any 'vtk*' files and since we may reuse these
functions in other foam-paraview modules (not just readers).
STYLE: use same font size/colour for patch-names as for point-numbers
BUG: repair issue with single time-step
- paraview time-selector returns '0' as the requested time if there is
only one time step. However, if we have skipped the 0/ directory,
this single time step is likely a non-zero value.
- use "-pvMAJ.MIN" suffix for similarity with the paraview convention
- use sentinel file to ensure clean change of intermediate targets
- ensure all library files are being properly removed
- remove old (ParaView-3) files
- Works in 4.4.0, 5.0.1, 5.2.0 etc
STYLE:
- slots now use SM properties directly without a second lookup.
This reduces exposure of the QT elements and simplifies the coding.
- avoid focus borders on the Qt elements
- place the "use Polyhedron" checkbox into a column
- move "Cache Mesh" down in the GUI (an advanced feature and thus
should be less prominent)
- obtain button labels/tooltip directly from the XML content
- although this is not the final desired form, since it uses
individual pqPropertyWidget customizations (ie, ugly layout, too
many bits of code), but is an interesting intermediate solution
that may be useful in other contexts.
