- 'unfriend' operators on dimensionSet, since they operate without
requiring access to non-public members.
- add missing invTransform() function for dimensionSet.
- make inv(const dimensionSet&) available as
operator~(const dimensionSet&), which can be used instead
of (dimless/ds).
- deprecate dimensionedType constructors using an Istream in favour of
versions accepting a keyword and a dictionary.
Dictionary entries are almost the exclusive means of read
constructing a dimensionedType. By construct from the dictionary
entry instead of doing a lookup() first, we can detect possible
input errors such as too many tokens as a result of a input syntax
error.
Constructing a dimensionedType from a dictionary entry now has
two forms.
1. dimensionedType(key, dims, dict);
This is the constructor that will normally be used.
It accepts entries with optional leading names and/or
dimensions. If the entry contains dimensions, they are
verified against the expected dimensions and an IOError is
raised if they do not correspond. On conclusion, checks the
token stream for any trailing rubbish.
2. dimensionedType(key, dict);
This constructor is used less frequently.
Similar to the previous description, except that it is initially
dimensionless. If entry contains dimensions, they are used
without further verification. The constructor also includes a
token stream check.
This constructor is useful when the dimensions are entirely
defined from the dictionary input, but also when handling
transition code where the input dimensions are not obvious from
the source.
This constructor can also be handy when obtaining values from
a dictionary without needing to worry about the input dimensions.
For example,
Info<< "rho: " << dimensionedScalar("rho", dict).value() << nl;
This will accept a large range of inputs without hassle.
ENH: consistent handling of dimensionedType for inputs (#1083)
BUG: incorrect Omega dimensions (fixes#2084)
- as part of the cleanup of dictionary access methods (c6520033c9)
made the dictionary class single inheritance from IDLList<entry>.
This eliminates any ambiguities for iterators and allows
for simple use of range-for looping.
Eg,
for (const entry& e : topDict))
{
Info<< "entry:" << e.keyword() << " is dict:" << e.isDict() << nl;
}
vs
forAllConstIter(dictionary, topDict, iter))
{
Info<< "entry:" << iter().keyword()
<< " is dict:" << iter().isDict() << nl;
}
- aids with detection of excess tokens (issue #762)
- deprecated dictionary::operator[] in favour of the lookup() method
which offers more flexibilty and clarity of purpose.
Additionally, the read<> and get<> forms should generally be used
instead anyhow.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
"pos" now returns 1 if the argument is greater than 0, otherwise it returns 0.
This is consistent with the common mathematical definition of the "pos" function:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_(mathematics)
However the previous implementation in which 1 was also returned for a 0
argument is useful in many situations so the "pos0" has been added which returns
1 if the argument is greater or equal to 0. Additionally the "neg0" has been
added which returns 1 if if the argument is less than or equal to 0.
- 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.
so that the specification of the name and dimensions are optional in property dictionaries.
Update tutorials so that the name of the dimensionedScalar property is
no longer duplicated but optional dimensions are still provided and are
checked on read.
posPart returns a value or field in which the value or values are set to
0 if negative
negPart returns a value or field in which the value or values are set to
0 if positive
