- in 1812 propagated through the distinction between areaNormal and
unitNormal (issue #885).
In older versions, the normal() always meant the area-normal for
certain of these primitive.
However, the .org version changed this to now return the unit-normal
instead, but with the same method name. Thus add the deprecated
message to avoid future inadvertent uses of normal() without being
certain which one is being meant.
- a valid() method (same as !empty() call) for consistency with other
containers and data types
- a centre() method (same as midpoint() method) for consistency with
other OpenFOAM geometric entities
Had this:
Tuple2() {}
Instead of:
Tuple2() : f_(), s_() {}
which is the same as
Tuple2() = default;
This meant that Tuple2<scalar, scalar>() was not being zero-initialized
- a FixedList is generally small so there is little advantage
in a compact output form for uniform content. Eg, "2{-1}"
By avoiding this compact form we obtain output that is also
consistent with Tuple2, for example.
- make FixedList construct from Istream explicit
- relocate the pair_entry (HashTable) and unary_entry (HashSet) into
the Detail namespace and add output handling.
The output handling at this level removes the reliance on zero::null
output (HashSet) and allows direct support of pointers.
This means that the following now works
HashTable<T*> tbl;
os << tbl;
It also means that we don't need to overload operator<< for
HashPtrTable anymore.
- avoid delete/new when calling HashSet::set(). If the entry already
exists there is no reason to remove it and add another one with the
same content.
STYLE: HashTable iterators now have a val() method
- identical to the object() iterator method, but shorter to type.
- fixed some more places with an explicit AUTO_WRITE.
BUG: revert handling of the readOption. It should not be NO_READ.
In cases where the user a IOobject without specifying read/write, it
defaults to NO_READ anyhow. However, the move constructor can also
be called with empty lists and a read option. This has the same
signature, but obviously will not work with NO_READ.
- identical to found(), which should be used for more consistency.
The contains() is a remnant from when hashedWordList was generalized
from a speciesTable (OCT 2010)
- provide a lookupOrDefault constructor form, since this is a fairly
commonly used requirement and simplifies the calling sequence.
Before
dimensionedScalar rhoMax
(
dimensionedScalar::lookupOrDefault
(
"rhoMax",
pimple.dict(),
dimDensity,
GREAT
)
);
After
dimensionedScalar rhoMax("rhoMax", dimDensity, GREAT, pimple.dict());
- read, readIfPresent methods with alternative lookup names.
- Mark the Istream related constructors with compile-time deprecated
warnings.
BUG: read, readIfPresent methods not handling optional dimensions (#1148)
- can be used as a more natural test on the iterator.
For example, with
HashTable<..> table;
auto iter = table.find(...);
Following are now all equivalent:
1. if (iter != table.end()) ...
2. if (iter.found()) ...
3. if (iter) ...
- similar to autoPtr and unique_ptr. Returns the pointer value without
any checks. This provides a simple way for use to use either
an autoPtr or a tmp for local memory management without accidentally
stealing the pointer.
Eg,
volVectorField* ptr;
tmp<volVectorField> tempField;
if (someField.valid())
{
ptr = someField.get();
}
else
{
tempField.reset(new volVectorField(....));
ptr = tmpField.get();
}
const volVectorField& withField = *ptr;
STYLE: make more tmp methods noexcept
Averages columns of cells for layered meshes.
For each patch face, calculates the average value of all cells attached in
the patch face normal direction, and then pushes the average value back
to all cells in the column.
Useful for channel-like cases where we want to average fields in the
spanwise direction.
Example of function object specification:
columnAverage1
{
type columnAverage;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
patches (front side);
fields (U p);
}
Where the entries comprise:
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | type name: fieldMinMax | yes |
patches | list of patches to collapse onto | yes |
fields | list of fields to process | yes |
\endtable
