- introduced a ListPolicy details to make the transition between
a short list (space separated) and a long list (newline separated)
more configurable.
We suppress line breaks for commonly used types that often have
short content: (word, wordRes, keyType).
- 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
- 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
- makes the intent clearer and avoids the need for additional
constructor casting. Eg,
labelList(10, Zero) vs. labelList(10, 0)
scalarField(10, Zero) vs. scalarField(10, scalar(0))
vectorField(10, Zero) vs. vectorField(10, vector::zero)
- provide relativePath() for argList and for Time.
These are relative to the case globalPath().
Eg,
Info<< "output: " << runTime.relativePath(outputFile) << nl;
- for some special cases we wish to mark command-line arguments as
being optional, in order to do our own treatment. For example,
when an arbitrary number of arguments should be allowed.
Now tag this situation with argList::noMandatoryArgs().
The argList::argsMandatory() query can then be used in any further
logic, including the standard default argument checking.
- with the new default check, can consolidate the special-purpose
"setRootCaseNonMandatoryArgs.H"
into the regular
"setRootCase.H"
- revert to a simple "setRootCase.H" and move all the listing related
bits to a "setRootCaseLists.H" file. This leaves the information
available for solvers, or whoever else wishes, without being
introduced everywhere.
- add include guards and scoping to the listing files and rename to
something less generic.
listOptions.H -> setRootCaseListOptions.H
listOutput.H -> setRootCaseListOutput.H
- similar to the foamEtcFile script -mode=... option, the specific
search location (user/group/other) can now also specified for
string expansions and as a numerical value for etcFile()
For example, if searching for group or other (project) controlDict,
but not wishing to see the user controlDict:
1. foamEtcFile -mode=go controlDict
2. fileName dictFile("<etc:go>/controlDict");
dictFile.expand();
3. etcFile(controlDict, false, 0077);
The default behaviour for searching all contexts is unchanged.
1. foamEtcFile controlDict
2. fileName dictFile("<etc>/controlDict");
dictFile.expand();
3. etcFile(controlDict);
- prefer this to using the OPENFOAM define since this improves the
internal consistency with the build information.
The API information could change between builds without the
etcFiles.C being recompiled whereas the value of
Foam::foamVersion::api is force updated during the build (triggers
recompilation of globals.Cver)
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- cfindObject() for const pointer access.
- getObject() for mutable non-const pointer access, similar to the
objectRegistry::getObjectPtr()
- cfindObject(), findObject(), getObject() with template type access
to also check the headerClassName.
For example,
cfindObject("U") -> good
cfindObject<volVectorField>("U") -> good
cfindObject<volScalarField>("U") -> nullptr
This allows inversion of looping logic.
1) Obtain the names for a particular Type
for (const word& objName : objs.sortedNames<Type>())
{
const IOobject* io = objs[objName];
...
}
2) Use previously obtained names and apply to a particular Type
for (const word& objName : someListOfNames)
{
const IOobject* io = objs.cfindObject<Type>(objName);
if (io)
{
...
}
}
- Provides a means of accumulating file entries for generating vtm
by accumulate blocks, datasets and writing them later.
Only a single block depth is currently supported and the methods
are kept fairly simple.
- Within strings it is preferable to use the "<etc>" instead.
Most use cases for the old "~OpenFOAM" expansion have been obsoleted
by the #includeEtc directive.
- use std::string instead of c-string for the string constants
- centralize some definitions of resources into foamVersion.H
Now expose some of the hard-coded values used in foamEtcFiles()
so that they can be known or even overridden as required.
Relocate to src/OpenFOAM/include as a constant location.
- uses wmake, without OpenFOAM libraries.
The application and libray serve as a minimal test case for wmake,
but can also be used to generate a minimal library/executable pair
target for testing of packaging etc.
- For compatibility, access to the old global names is provided via
macros
#define FOAMversion foamVersion::version
#define FOAMbuild foamVersion::build
#define FOAMbuildArch foamVersion::buildArch
- this isolation makes it easier to provide additional scoped methods
for dealing with version related information. Eg, printBuildInfo()
- 'unfriend' operators on dimensionSet, since they operate without
requiring access to non-public members.
- add missing invTransform() function for dimensionSet.
- make inv(const dimensionSet&) available as
operator~(const dimensionSet&), which can be used instead
of (dimless/ds).
- writing of dictionary entry with the name of the dimensionedType
suppressed if it is identical to the keyword.
This corresponds to the input requirements.
- deprecate dimensionedType constructors using an Istream in favour of
versions accepting a keyword and a dictionary.
Dictionary entries are almost the exclusive means of read
constructing a dimensionedType. By construct from the dictionary
entry instead of doing a lookup() first, we can detect possible
input errors such as too many tokens as a result of a input syntax
error.
Constructing a dimensionedType from a dictionary entry now has
two forms.
1. dimensionedType(key, dims, dict);
This is the constructor that will normally be used.
It accepts entries with optional leading names and/or
dimensions. If the entry contains dimensions, they are
verified against the expected dimensions and an IOError is
raised if they do not correspond. On conclusion, checks the
token stream for any trailing rubbish.
2. dimensionedType(key, dict);
This constructor is used less frequently.
Similar to the previous description, except that it is initially
dimensionless. If entry contains dimensions, they are used
without further verification. The constructor also includes a
token stream check.
This constructor is useful when the dimensions are entirely
defined from the dictionary input, but also when handling
transition code where the input dimensions are not obvious from
the source.
This constructor can also be handy when obtaining values from
a dictionary without needing to worry about the input dimensions.
For example,
Info<< "rho: " << dimensionedScalar("rho", dict).value() << nl;
This will accept a large range of inputs without hassle.
ENH: consistent handling of dimensionedType for inputs (#1083)
BUG: incorrect Omega dimensions (fixes#2084)
- this seems to be the only reliable means of obtaining the values.
Using typeName_() yields the wrong value.
Using the typeName causes initialization issues
(segfault when executing on some systems).
- support name filtering by class based on <Type> or predicates.
Eg,
objects.sortedNames<volScalarField>(namePattern);
vs objects.sortedNames(volScalarField::typeName, namePattern);
These can also be used directly for untyped name matching.
Eg,
objects.sortedNames<void>(namePattern);
Can also use a predicate:
objects.sortedNames(wordRe("vol.*Field"), namePattern);
objects.sortedNames
(
[](const word& clsName){ return clsName.startsWith("vol"); },
namePattern
);
- naming similar to objectRegistry, with unambiguous resolution.
The lookup() methods have different return types depending on the
calling parameter.
STYLE: use IOobjectListTemplates.C for implementations
- previously included as local definition within IOobjectList.C,
but will be adding more templated methods soon.
- adjust parameters (eg, matchName instead of matcher) to show their
function
ENH: handle objectRegistry::names<void>(...)
- this is equivalent to no Type restriction, and can be used when
filtering names. Eg,
obr.names<void>(wordRe..);
- as part of the cleanup of dictionary access methods (c6520033c9)
made the dictionary class single inheritance from IDLList<entry>.
This eliminates any ambiguities for iterators and allows
for simple use of range-for looping.
Eg,
for (const entry& e : topDict))
{
Info<< "entry:" << e.keyword() << " is dict:" << e.isDict() << nl;
}
vs
forAllConstIter(dictionary, topDict, iter))
{
Info<< "entry:" << iter().keyword()
<< " is dict:" << iter().isDict() << nl;
}
- 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.
