The runTimeControl function object can activate further function objects using
triggers. Previously the trigger index could only advance; this change set
allows users to set smaller values to enable function object recycling, e.g.
Repeat for N cycles:
1. average the pressure at a point in space
2. when the average stabilises, run for a further 100 iterations
3. set a new patch inlet velocity
- back to (1)
- Removes old default behaviour that only permitted an increase in the
trigger level. This type of 'ratcheting' mechanism (if required) is
now the responsibility of the derived function object.
- useful when used in a batch process to trap the exit signal,
e.g. stop the run when the velocity magnitude exceeds a given
threshold:
runTimeControl
{
type runTimeControl;
libs ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
nWriteStep 1;
// Optional end 'action'
satisfiedAction abort; // end; // setTrigger
conditions
{
maxU
{
type minMax;
functionObject MinMax;
fields ("max(mag(U))");
value 1e6;
mode maximum;
}
}
}
- previously introduced `getOrDefault` as a dictionary _get_ method,
now complete the transition and use it everywhere instead of
`lookupOrDefault`. This avoids mixed usage of the two methods that
are identical in behaviour, makes for shorter names, and promotes
the distinction between "lookup" access (ie, return a token stream,
locate and return an entry) and "get" access (ie, the above with
conversion to concrete types such as scalar, label etc).
- more dictionary-like methods, enforce keyType::LITERAL for all
lookups to avoid any spurious keyword matching.
- new readEntry, readIfPresent methods
- The get() method replaces the now deprecate lookup() method.
- Deprecate lookupOrFailsafe()
Failsafe behaviour is now an optional parameter for lookupOrDefault,
which makes it easier to tailor behaviour at runtime.
- output of the names is now always flatted without line-breaks.
Thus,
os << flatOutput(someEnumNames.names()) << nl;
os << someEnumNames << nl;
both generate the same output.
- Constructor now uses C-string (const char*) directly instead of
Foam::word in its initializer_list.
- Remove special enum + initializer_list constructor form since
it can create unbounded lookup indices.
- Removd old hasEnum, hasName forms that were provided during initial
transition from NamedEnum.
- Added static_assert on Enum contents to restrict to enum or
integral values. Should not likely be using this class to enumerate
other things since it internally uses an 'int' for its values.
Changed volumeType accordingly to enumerate on its type (enum),
not the class itself.
- in many cases can just use lookupOrDefault("key", bool) instead of
lookupOrDefault<bool> or lookupOrDefault<Switch> since reading a
bool from an Istream uses the Switch(Istream&) anyhow
STYLE: relocated Switch string names into file-local scope
