- vector, tensor versions are defined component-wise
to avoid intermediates.
The base version uses the form "(1-t)*a + t*b" without any bounds
checking (ie, will also extrapolate).
- proper component-wise clamping for MinMax clamp().
- construct clampOp from components
- propagate clamp() method from GeometricField to FieldField and Field
- clamp_min() and clamp_max() for one-sided clamping,
as explicit alternative to min/max free functions which can
be less intuitive and often involve additional field copies.
- top-level checks to skip applying invalid min/max ranges
and bypass the internal checks of MinMax::clamp() etc.
GIT: primitives/compat with compatibility includes
GIT: primitives/traits with pTraits, contiguous, zero, one etc.
COMP: relocate base equal(a,b) definition from scalar.H -> label.H
- make more universally available
STYLE: replace occasional use of notEqual(a,b) with !equal(a,b)
- UPstream::Request wrapping class provides an opaque wrapper for
vendor MPI_Request values, independent of global lists.
ENH: support for MPI barrier (blocking or non-blocking)
ENH: support for MPI sync-send variants
STYLE: deprecate waitRequests() without a position parameter
- in many cases this can indicate a problem in the program logic since
normally the startOfRequests should be tracked locally.
- UPstream::globalComm constant always refers to MPI_COMM_WORLD but
UPstream::worldComm could be MPI_COMM_WORLD (single world)
or a dedicated local communicator (for multi-world).
- provide a Pstream wrapped version of MPI_COMM_SELF,
references as UPstream::selfComm
- UPstream::isUserComm(label)
test for additional user-defined communicators
- use default initialize boundBox instead of invertedBox
- reset() instead of assigning from invertedBox
- extend (three parameter version) and grow method
- inflate(Random) instead of extend + re-assigning
- null() static method
* as const reference to the invertedBox with the appropriate casting.
- boundBox inflate(random)
* refactored from treeBoundBox::extend, but allows in-place modification
- boundBox::hexFaces() instead of boundBox::faces
* rarely used, but avoids confusion with treeBoundBox::faces
and reuses hexCell face definitions without code duplication
- boundBox::hexCorners() for corner points corresponding to a hexCell.
Can also be accessed from a treeBoundBox without ambiguity with
points(), which could be hex corners (boundBox) or octant corners
(treeBoundBox)
- boundBox::add with pairs of points
* convenient (for example) when adding edges or a 'box' that has
been extracted from a primitive mesh shape.
- declare boundBox nPoints(), nFaces(), nEdges() as per hexCell
ENH: return invertedBox instead of FatalError for empty trees
- similar to #2612
ENH: cellShape(HEX, ...) + boundBox hexCorners for block meshes
STYLE: cellModel::ref(...) instead of de-reference cellModel::ptr(...)
- provides fast compile-time indexing for FixedList
(invalid indices trigger a compiler error).
This enables noexcept access, which can propagate into various
other uses (eg, triFace, triPoints, ...)
ENH: add triangle edge vectors
- traditionally used first(), last() methods,
but front(), back() are well-known from std::vector etc
which makes the access more familiar.
- support push_back() method for containers that already had append().
This increases name familiar and can help when porting between
different C++ code bases.
- support pop_back() method for List containers.
This is similar to std::vector
- ie, front(), back(), push_front(), push_back(), pop_front()
ENH: add CircularBuffer flattening operator() and list() method
- useful if assigning content to a List etc
BUG: CircularBuffer find() did not return logical index
- had an off-by-one in the accounting for some corner caes,
partly because the logic was a bit convoluted
ENH: improved string wrapping (#2625)
- reworked logic (like a state machine) to handle backtracking
with fallback of splitting near punctuation characters.
Still doesn't compete with nroff or TeX, but does avoid long lines
and many funny splits. With this change the help for mapFieldsPar
now like this:
=====
Specify the mapping method
(direct|mapNearest|cellVolumeWeight|
correctedCellVolumeWeight)
=====
Since the list of options is very long without any spaces, it takes
'|' as the best split point, which definitely reads better
- since ensight format is always float and also always written
component-wise, perform the double -> float narrowing when
extracting the components. This reduces the amount of data
transferred between processors.
ENH: avoid vtk/ensight parallel communication of empty messages
- since ensight writes by element type (eg, tet, hex, polyhedral) the
individual written field sections will tend to be relatively sparse.
Skip zero-size messages, which should help reduce some of the
synchronization bottlenecks.
ENH: use 'data chunking' when writing ensight files in parallel
- since ensight fields are written on a per-element basis, the
corresponding segment can become rather sparsely distributed. With
'data chunking', we attempt to get as many send/recv messages in
before flushing the buffer for writing. This should make the
sequential send/recv less affected by the IO time.
ENH: allow use of an external buffer when writing ensight components
STYLE: remove last vestiges of autoPtr<ensightFile> for output routines
- with ATOMIC, an intermediary file is created - eg, (fileAbc~tmp~)
where all of the output is written to. When the stream goes out of
scope, this intermediary file is moved/renamed to the actually
output name - eg, (fileAbc~tmp~) -> (fileAbc).
This adds some safety if the simulation crashes while writing the
file, since it will the partial (corrupt) file will be left
behind as (fileAbc~tmp~) and not as (fileAbc), which means it will
will be treated as a backup file and not loaded again on restart.
ENH: provided enumeration for APPEND/NON_APPEND
- clearer than using bool (with comments).
Since append mode is primarily only used by masterOFstream etc
this change is unlikely to affect user coding.
ENH: use file atomic for ensight file creation
- avoids corrupt (truncated) files being referenced by the ensight
case file if the simulation crashes while writing the ensight file.
- eg, for partially incomplete systems (without libz devel header)
ENH: clearer binding of dummy Pstream in OpenFOAM/Make/options
- link of dummy stub Pstream now contingent on linking libOpenFOAM as
well. This makes the purpose slightly clearer
ENH: cleaner option naming/handling in wmake script
- allow special purpose -no-openfoam option.
Eg, compiling test programs without OpenFOAM and Pstream libraries
but using the rest of the wmake system.
ENH: add +openmp support into WM_COMPILE_CONTROL (#2633)
- this adds compile/link flags for openmp.
For single-use, can also use 'wmake -openmp'.
If both +openmp and ~openmp are specified in WM_COMPILE_CONTROL
the ~openmp will have priority.
This is actually done indirectly since ~openmp will set empty
COMP_OPENMP, LINK_OPENMP internal variables, which the +openmp then
adds to the c++FLAGS and linkexe targets (ie, won't actually add
anything).
ENH: add +ccache or ccache=... support into WM_COMPILE_CONTROL (#2633)
- with the first version (+ccache), simply use ccache from the path
without any extra options.
- with the second version (ccache=...), can be more specific about
what is called.
Using "+ccache" is identical to "ccache=ccache", but the later could
be used in other ways. For example,
ccache=/strange/install/path/ccache
ccache=</path/my-tooling --option>
Have the choice of unquoted, single or double quoted or '< >' quoted
STYLE: relocate FOAM_EXTRA_LDFLAGS in general makefile
- removes clutter for different linkers (eg, gold, mold, ldd)
making it easier to extend for other linkers.
STYLE: protect makefile checks with 'strip' function
- end_value() corresponds to the infrequently used after() method, but
with naming that corresponds better to iterator naming conventions.
Eg,
List<Type> list = ...;
labelRange range = ...;
std::transform
(
(list.data() + range.begin_value()),
(list.data() + range.end_value()),
outIter,
op
);
- promote min()/max() methods from labelRange to IntRange base class
STYLE: change timeSelector from "is-a" to "has-a" scalarRanges.
- resets min/max to be identical to the specified value,
which can be more convenient (and slightly more efficient) than doing
a full reset followed by add()
- additional MinMax intersects() query, which works like overlaps()
but with exclusive checks at the ends
- provide MinMax::operator&=() to replace (unused) intersect() method
ENH: single/double value reset method for boundBox
- boundBox::operator&=() to replace (rarely used) intersect() method.
Deprecate boundBox::intersect() to avoid confusion with various
intersects() method
COMP: provide triangleFwd.H
- background: for some application it can be useful to have fully
sorted points. i.e., sorted by x, followed by y, followed by z.
The default VectorSpace 'operator<' compares *all*
components. This is seen by the following comparisons
1. a = (-2.2 -3.3 -4.4)
b = (-1.1 -2.2 3.3)
(a < b) : True
Each 'a' component is less than each 'b' component
2. a = (-2.2 -3.3 -4.4)
b = (-2.2 3.3 4.4)
(a < b) : False
The a.x() is not less than b.x()
The static definitions 'less_xyz', 'less_yzx', 'less_zxy'
instead use comparison of the next components as tie breakers
(like a lexicographic sort).
- same type of definition that Pair and Tuple2 use.
a = (-2.2 -3.3 -4.4)
b = (-2.2 3.3 4.4)
vector::less_xyz(a, b) : True
The a.x() == b.x(), but a.y() < b.y()
They can be used directly as comparators:
pointField points = ...;
std::sort(points.begin(), points.end(), vector::less_zxy);
ENH: make VectorSpace named access methods noexcept.
Since the addressing range is restricted to enumerated offsets
(eg, X/Y/Z) into storage, always remains in-range.
Possible to make constexpr with future C++ versions.
STYLE: VectorSpace 'operator>' defined using 'operator<'
- standard rewriting rule
- construct boundBox from Pair<point> of min/max limits,
make sortable
- additional bounding box intersections (linePointRef), add noexcept
- templated access for boundBox hex-corners
(used to avoid temporary point field).
Eg, unrolled plane/bound-box intersection with early exit
- bounding box grow() to expand box by absolute amounts
Eg,
bb.grow(ROOTVSMALL); // Or: bb.grow(point::uniform(ROOTVSMALL));
vs
bb.min() -= point::uniform(ROOTVSMALL);
bb.max() += point::uniform(ROOTVSMALL);
- treeBoundBox bounding box extend with two or three parameters.
The three parameter version includes grow(...) for reduced writing.
Eg,
bb = bb.extend(rndGen, 1e-4, ROOTVSMALL);
vs
bb = bb.extend(rndGen, 1e-4);
bb.min() -= point::uniform(ROOTVSMALL);
bb.max() += point::uniform(ROOTVSMALL);
This also permits use as const variables or parameter passing.
Eg,
const treeBoundBox bb
(
treeBoundBox(some_points).extend(rndGen, 1e-4, ROOTVSMALL)
);
- box method on meshShapes (cell,edge,face,triangle,...)
returns a Pair<point>.
Can be used directly without dependency on boundBox,
but the limits can also passed through to boundBox.
- Direct box calculation for cell, which walks the cell-faces and
mesh-faces. Direct calculation for face (#2609)
ENH: extend rmDir to handle removal of empty directories only
- recursively remove directories that only contain other directories
but no other contents. Treats dead links as non-content.
- stem(), replace_name(), replace_ext(), remove_ext() etc
- string::contains() method - similar to C++23 method
Eg,
if (keyword.contains('/')) ...
vs
if (keyword.find('/') != std::string::npos) ...
- construct based on db and mesh information from an existing field
- check movable() instead of isTmp() when reusing fields
STYLE: isolate check for reuse GeometricField into Detail namespace
- in continuation of #2565 (rotationCentre for surface output formats)
it is helpful to also support READ_IF_PRESENT behaviour for the
'origin' keyword.
This can be safely used wherever the coordinate system definition
is embedded within a sub-dictionary scope.
Eg,
dict1
{
coordinateSystem
{
origin (0 0 0); // now optional here
rotation ...;
}
}
but remains mandatory if constructed without a sub-dict:
dict2
{
origin (0 0 0); // still mandatory
e1 (1 0 0);
e3 (0 0 1);
}
With this change, the "transform" sub-dictionary can written
more naturally:
formatOptions
{
vtk
{
scale 1000; // m -> mm
transform
{
rotationCentre (1 0 0);
rotation axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle -45;
}
}
}
ENH: simplify handling of "coordinateSystem" dictionary lookups
- coordinateSystems::NewIfPresent method for optional entries:
coordSysPtr_ = coordinateSystem::NewIfPresent(mesh, dict);
Instead of
if (dict.found(coordinateSystem::typeName, keyType::LITERAL))
{
coordSysPtr_ =
coordinateSystem::New
(
mesh_,
dict,
coordinateSystem::typeName
);
}
else
{
coordSysPtr_.reset();
}
ENH: more consistent handling of priorities for binModels, forces (#2598)
- if the dictionaries are overspecified, give a 'coordinateSystem'
entry a higher prioriy than the 'CofR' shortcuts.
Was previously slightly inconsistent between the different models.
- with IOstreamOption there are no cases where we need to construct
top-level streams (eg, IFstream, OFstream) with additional information
about the internal IOstream 'version' (eg, version: 2.0).
Makes it more convenient to open files with a specified
format/compression combination - no clutter of specifying the
version
- read construct from dictionary.
Calling syntax similar to dimensionedType, dimensionedSet,...
Replaces the older getEntry(), getOptional() static methods
- support readIfPresent
- include -no-libs option by default, similar to '-lib',
which makes it available to all solvers/utilities.
Add argList allowLibs() method to query it.
- relocate with/no functionObjects logic from Time to argList
itself as argList allowFunctionObjects()
- add libs/functionObjects override handling to decomposePar etc
ENH: report the stream relativeName for IOerrors (see c9333a5ac8)
- clearer coding intent. Mark operator() as 'deprecated'
- add bounds checking to get(label) and set(label) methods.
This gives failsafe behaviour for get() that is symmetric with
HashPtrTable, autoPtr etc and aligns the set(label) methods
for UPtrList, PtrList and PtrDynList.
- use top-level PtrList::clone() instead of cloning individual elements
ENH: support HashPtrTable set with refPtr/tmp (flexibility)
