- 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
- motivation: we could probably reuse the Switch::asBool() within boolIO.C
... and possibly make Switch is-a bool and has-a word (or has-a enum for
the word) for reuse with nicer output values for bool
regExp:
- added optional ignoreCase for constructor.
- the compile() methods is now exposed as set(...) method with an optional
ignoreCase argument. Not currently much use for the other regex compile
flags though. The set() method can be used directly instead of the
operator=() assignment.
keyType + wordRe:
- it's not clear that any particular characters are valid/invalid (compared
to string or word), so just drop the valid(char) method for now
wordRe:
- a bool doesn't suffice, added enum compOption (compile-option)
- most constructors now have a compOption. In *all* cases it defaults to
LITERAL - ie, the same behaviour for std::string and Foam::string
- added set(...) methods that do much the same as operator=(...), but the
compOption can be specified. In all cases, it defaults to DETECT.
In Summary
By default the constructors will generally preserve the argument as
string literal and the assignment operators will use the wordRe::DETECT
compOption to scan the string for regular expression meta characters
and/or invalid word characters and react accordingly.
The exceptions are when constructing/assigning from another
Foam::wordRe (preserve the same type) or from a Foam::word (always
literal).
