- generalize identity matrix constructors for non-scalar types
- add constructors using labelPair for the row/column sizing information.
For a SquareMatrix, this provides an unambiguous parameter resolution.
- reuse assignment operators
STYLE: adjust matrix comments
- when windows portable executables (.exe or .dll) files are loaded,
their dependent libraries not fully loaded. For OpenFOAM this means
that the static constructors which are responsible for populating
run-time selection tables are not triggered, and most of the run-time
selectable models will simply not be available.
Possible Solution
=================
Avoid this problem by defining an additional library symbol such as
the following:
extern "C" void libName_Load() {}
in the respective library, and tag this symbol as 'unresolved' for
the linker so that it will attempt to resolve it at run-time by
loading the known libraries until it finds it. The link line would
resemble the following:
-L/some/path -llibName -ulibName_Load
Pros:
- Allows precise control of forced library loading
Cons:
- Moderately verbose adjustment of some source files (even with macro
wrapping for the declaration).
- Adjustment of numerous Make/options files and somewhat ad hoc
in nature.
- Requires additional care when implementing future libraries and/or
applications.
- This is the solution taken by the symscape patches (Richard Smith)
Possible Solution
=================
Avoid this problem by simply force loading all linked libraries.
This is done by "scraping" the information out of the respective
Make/options file (after pre-processing) and using that to define
the library list that will be passed to Foam::dlOpen() at run-time.
Pros:
- One-time (very) minimal adjustment of the sources and wmake toolchain
- Automatically applies to future applications
Cons:
- Possibly larger memory footprint of application (since all dependent
libraries are loaded).
- Possible impact on startup time (while loading libraries)
- More sensitive to build failures. Since the options files are
read and modified based on the existence of the dependent
libraries as a preprocessor step, if the libraries are initially
unavailable for the first attempt at building the application,
the dependencies will be inaccurate for later (successful) builds.
- This is solution taken by the bluecape patches (Bruno Santos)
Adopted Solution
================
The approach taken by Bruno was adopted in a modified form since
this appears to be the most easily maintained.
Additional Notes
================
It is always possible to solve this problem by defining a corresponding
'libs (...)' entry in the case system/controlDict, which forces a dlOpen
of the listed libraries. This is obviously less than ideal for large-scale
changes, but can work to resolve an individual problem.
The peldd utility (https://github.com/gsauthof/pe-util), which is
also packaged as part of MXE could provide yet another alternative.
Like ldd it can be used to determine the library dependencies of
binaries or libraries. This information could be used to define an
additional load layer for Windows.
- add iterators, begin/end, empty() methods for STL behaviour.
Use standard algorithms where possible
* std::fill, std::copy
* std::min_element, std::max_element
- access methods consistent with other OpenFOAM containers:
* data(), cdata(), uniform()
- Use ListPolicy to impose output line breaks
- Can recover matrix storage for re-use elsewhere.
For example, to populate values with 2D i-j addressing and later
release it as flat linear storage.
- construct/assign moveable
- added minMax() function for Matrix
- additional inplace +=, -=, *=, /= operations
- add named methods at() and rowData() to Matrix.
Allows a better distinction between linear and row-based addressing
- low-level matrix solve on List/UList instead of Field
- can be used to check the validity of input values.
Example:
dict.getCheck<label>("nIters", greaterOp1<label>(0));
dict.getCheck<scalar>("relax", scalarMinMax::zero_one());
- use 'get' prefix for more regular dictionary methods.
Eg, getOrDefault() as alternative to lookupOrDefault()
- additional ops for convenient construction of predicates
ENH: make dictionary writeOptionalEntries integer
- allow triggering of Fatal if default values are used
ENH: additional scalarRange static methods: ge0, gt0, zero_one
- use GREAT instead of VGREAT for internal placeholders
- additional MinMax static methods: gt, le
- adjust naming of quaternion 'rotationSequence' to be 'eulerOrder'
to reflect its purpose.
- provide rotation matrices directly for these rotation orders in
coordinateRotations::euler for case in which the rotation tensor
is required but not a quaternion.
Modified revert of commit 6c6f777bd5.
- The "alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField" occurs in several
places in the code base:
- as abstract class for two-phase properties
- in various multiphase solvers
To resolve potential linking conflicts, renamed the abstract class
as "alphaContactAngleTwoPhaseFvPatchScalarField" instead.
This permits potential linking of two-phase and multi-phase
libraries without symbol conflicts and has no effect on concrete
uses of two-phase alphaContactAngle boudary conditions.
- support move insert/set and emplace insertion.
These adjustments can be used for improved memory efficiency, and
allow hash tables of non-copyable objects (eg, std::unique_ptr).
- extend special HashTable output treatment to include pointer-like
objects such as autoPtr and unique_ptr.
ENH: HashTable::at() method with checking. Fatal if entry does not exist.
- number of particles per parcel info to kinematic cloud
- added turbulent dispersion to basicHeterogeneousReactingParcel
- corrected dhsTrans in MUCSheterogeneousRate::calculate
- added cloud macro system to reactingParcelFoam and fixed calculation
of average particles per parcel
- added progress variable dimension to reacting model (nF)
- added ReactingHeterogeneous tutorial
All remote contributions to interpolation stencils now
get added as 'processor' type lduInterfaces. This guarantees
a consistent matrix, e.g. initial residual is normalised to 1.
Second change is the normalisation of the interpolation discretisation
which uses the diagonal from the unmodified equation. This helps
GAMG.
ENH: Several modifycations to avoid erroneuos rays to be shot
from wrong faces.
ENH: Updating tutorials and avoiding registration of the
coarse singleCellFvMesh
Adding solarLoad tutorial case simpleCarSolarPanel
ENH: Changes needed for the merge
- note that it does not actually triangulate unless necessary, should
probably receive a new name.
- use newer constructs for handling processor/non-processor patch
selection etc.
- provide relativePath() for argList and for Time.
These are relative to the case globalPath().
Eg,
Info<< "output: " << runTime.relativePath(outputFile) << nl;
- now use findEtcEntry() instead to handle file or directory.
Added findEtcEntries(), which provides provides a common code basis
for findEtcDirs(), findEtcFiles() ...
- 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);
- change previous default (convert all faceZones unless -noFaceZones
specified) with the default behaviour to only convert face zones on
request.
- uses the '-faceZones' option as per foamToEnsight
- 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)
