- ditched PrimitivePatchExtra in favour of a PatchTools class that is
currently just a collection of static functions. They could equally well
live within PrimitivePatch itself, but isolated also has its advantages.
- MeshedSurface, UnsortedMeshedSurface now have 'regions' instead of
'patches' since they are more like a faceZone for meshed surfaces than
patches. This might avoid confusion at a later stage.
- exists() = forward to OSspecific exists(...)
- isDir() = forward to OSspecific dir(...)
- isFile() = forward to OSspecific file(...)
- IOobjectComponents() - split into instance, local, name following rules
set out for IOobject.
- added IOobject(path, registry, ...) constructor that uses
fileName::IOobjectComponents(). This hides the complexity we otherwise need.
- added Mattijs' speed tests
- optimized resize() and assignment operators to avoid set() method
- add const_iterator and re-did the proxy handling.
Reading/writing by looping across iterators is still somewhat slow, but
might be acceptable.
- eliminated previous PackedBitRef class, the iterator does all of that and
can also be used to (forward) traverse the list
- no const_iterator yet
- Note that PackedList is also a bit like DynamicList in terms of storage
management and the append() method. Since the underlying storage in
integer, any auto-vivified elements will also flood-fill the gaps with
zero.
- uniform use of reinterpret_cast<foo*>(0) instead of
reinterpret_cast<foo*>(NULL)
- make all static null() members inline since they are really only a cast:
"*reinterpret_cast<foo*>(0)"
- can use 'XX.empty()' instead of 'XX.size() == 0', 'XX.size() < 1' or
'XX.size() <= 0' or for simpler coding.
It also has the same number of characters as '!XX.size()' and /might/ be
more readable
- many size checking had 'XX.size() > 0', 'XX.size() != 0', or 'XX.size() >= 1'
when a simple 'XX.size()' suffices
- string doesn't use any debug info, remove it
- restructured the macros to add in NoDebug macro versions to className,
typeInfo. Might be helpful with tackling the globals bootstrapping issue.
- HashTableName + StaticHashTableName - avoid lookup of debug switch when
FULLDEBUG is not defined
