which reduces the number of potential problems with the reuse of
temporary objects.
In order to avoid unnecessary creation of tmp's referring to temporary
objects the assignment operator now transfers ownership of the object
and resets the argument.
The deprecated non-const tmp functionality is now on the compiler switch
NON_CONST_TMP which can be enabled by adding -DNON_CONST_TMP to EXE_INC
in the Make/options file. However, it is recommended to upgrade all
code to the new safer tmp by using the '.ref()' member function rather
than the non-const '()' dereference operator when non-const access to
the temporary object is required.
Please report any problems on Mantis.

in case of tmp misuse.
Simplified tmp reuse pattern in field algebra to use tmp copy and
assignment rather than the complex delayed call to 'ptr()'.
Removed support for unused non-const 'REF' storage of non-tmp objects due to C++
limitation in constructor overloading: if both tmp(T&) and tmp(const T&)
constructors are provided resolution is ambiguous.
The turbulence libraries have been upgraded and '-DCONST_TMP' option
specified in the 'options' file to switch to the new 'tmp' behavior.
This change requires that the de-reference operator '()' returns a
const-reference to the object stored irrespective of the const-ness of
object stored and the new member function 'ref()' is provided to return
an non-const reference to stored object which throws a fatal error if the
stored object is const.
In order to smooth the transition to this new safer 'tmp' the now
deprecated and unsafe non-const de-reference operator '()' is still
provided by default but may be switched-off with the compilation switch
'CONST_TMP'.
The main OpenFOAM library has already been upgraded and '-DCONST_TMP'
option specified in the 'options' file to switch to the new 'tmp'
behavior. The rest of OpenFOAM-dev will be upgraded over the following
few weeks.

To be used instead of zeroGradientFvPatchField for temporary fields for
which zero-gradient extrapolation is use to evaluate the boundary field
but avoiding fields derived from temporary field using field algebra
inheriting the zeroGradient boundary condition by the reuse of the
temporary field storage.
zeroGradientFvPatchField should not be used as the default patch field
for any temporary fields and should be avoided for non-temporary fields
except where it is clearly appropriate;
extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField and calculatedFvPatchField are
generally more suitable defaults depending on the manner in which the
boundary values are specified or evaluated.
The entire OpenFOAM-dev code-base has been updated following the above
recommendations.

Function1 is an abstract base-class of run-time selectable unary
functions which may be composed of other Function1's allowing the user
to specify complex functions of a single scalar variable, e.g. time.
The implementations need not be a simple or continuous functions;
interpolated tables and polynomials are also supported. In fact form of
mapping between a single scalar input and a single primitive type output
is supportable.
The primary application of Function1 is in time-varying boundary
conditions, it also used for other functions of time, e.g. injected mass
is spray simulations but is not limited to functions of time.

Simplified the handling of backward-compatible constant value:
Removed the unnecessary CompatibilityConstant,
Updated Constant and DataEntryNew to handle constant value construction.
// Polynomial functions and interpolation do evaluate to label
// Instead evaluate a scalar and convert to label as appropriate

// makeDataEntryType(CSV, label);

It is better to declare the namespace of each function in the C file
rather than "open" the namespace as this may lead to inconsistencies
between the declaration in the H files and definition in the C file.
Now solvers return solver performance information for all components
with backward compatibility provided by the "max" function which created
the scalar solverPerformance from the maximum component residuals from
the SolverPerformance<Type>.
The residuals functionObject has been upgraded to support
SolverPerformance<Type> so that now the initial residuals for all
(valid) components are tabulated, e.g. for the cavity tutorial case the
residuals for p, Ux and Uy are listed vs time.
Currently the residualControl option of pimpleControl and simpleControl
is supported in backward compatibility mode (only the maximum component
residual is considered) but in the future this will be upgraded to
support convergence control for the components individually.
