- used in various places to test if the input can be parsed as a
label/scalar, so warnings tend to flood the output.
- be more explicit when encountering range errors
- improve functional compatibility with DynList (remove methods)
* eg, remove an element from any position in a DynamicList
* reduce the number of template parameters
* remove/subset regions of DynamicList
- propagate Swap template specializations for lists, hashtables
- move construct/assignment to various containers.
- add find/found methods for FixedList and UList for a more succinct
(and clearer?) usage than the equivalent global findIndex() function.
- simplify List_FOR_ALL loops
- The logic for switching input-mode was previously completely
encapsulated within the #inputMode directive, but without any
programming equivalent. Furthermore, the encapsulation in inputMode
made the logic less clear in other places.
Exposing the inputMode as an enum with direct access from entry
simplifies things a fair bit.
- eliminate one level of else/if nesting in entryIO.C for clearer logic
- for dictionary function entries, simply use
addNamedToMemberFunctionSelectionTable() and avoid defining a type()
as a static. For most function entries the information is only used
to get a name for the selection table lookup anyhow.
- although this has been supported for many years, the tutorials
continued to use "convertToMeters" entry, which is specific to blockMesh.
The "scale" is more consistent with other dictionaries.
ENH:
- ignore "scale 0;" (treat as no scaling) for blockMeshDict,
consistent with use elsewhere.
- useful operations for other string representations of fileName types.
The return type is in general a std::string with any narrowing
being done by the caller on the return value.
- consolidate word::validated() into word::validate() and also allow
as short form for string::validate<word>(). Also less confusing than
having similarly named methods that essentially do the same thing.
- more consistent const access when iterating over strings
- add valid(char) for keyType and wordRe
- Instead of relying on #inputMode to effect a global change it is now
possible (and recommended) to a temporary change in the inputMode
for the following entry.
#default : provide default value if entry is not already defined
#overwrite : silently remove a previously existing entry
#warn : warn about duplicate entries
#error : error if any duplicate entries occur
#merge : merge sub-dictionaries when possible (the default mode)
This is generally less cumbersome than the switching the global
inputMode. For example to provide a set of fallback values.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
...
#default value uniform 10;
vs.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
#inputMode protect
...
value uniform 10;
#inputMode merge // _Assuming_ we actually had this before
These directives can also be used to suppress the normal dictionary
merge semantics:
#overwrite dict { entry val; ... }
- With special-purpose templating it is possible to have file contents
that almost look like an OpenFOAM file, but which are not.
The contents do not need to be deliberately tricky, even the simplest
README:
FoamFile is the first word parsed in OpenFOAM files
will trigger problems.
We now trap any IOerror on these and reject this type of file as invalid.
- error::throwExceptions(bool) returning the previous state makes it
easier to set and restore states.
- throwing() method to query the current handling (if required).
- the normal error::throwExceptions() and error::dontThrowExceptions()
also return the previous state, to make it easier to restore later.
- installed under /usr/include/scotch/scotch.h
ENH: obtain fallback value for SCOTCH_VERSION from the header
COMP: add support for metis, scotch static libraries (eg, EasyBuild)
- patterns only supported for the final element.
To create an element as a pattern instead of a word, an embedded
string quote (single or double) is used for that element.
Any of the following examples:
"/top/sub/dict/'(p|U).*" 100;
"/top/sub/dict/'(p|U).*'" 100;
"/top/sub/dict/\"(p|U).*" 100;
"/top/sub/dict/\"(p|U).*\"" 100;
are equivalent to the longer form:
top
{
sub
{
dict
{
"(p|U).*" 100;
}
}
}
It is not currently possible to auto-vivify intermediate
dictionaries with patterns.
NOK "/nonexistent.*/value" 100;
OK "/existing.*/value" 100;
- full scoping also works for the #remove directive
#remove "/dict1/subdict2/entry1"
