- 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)
- 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..);
- handle tmp fields in interpolate methods
- special method interpolateInternal() for creating a volume field
with zero-gradient treatment for patches from an internal field.
This method was previously also called interpolate(), but that
masked the ability to subset the internal field only.
Ensight output needs the volume field:
uses interpolateInternal().
VTK output has separate handling of internal and patch fields:
uses interpolate().
ENH: added fvMeshSubset mesh() method for baseMesh or subMesh.
- simplies coding when the fvMeshSubset may or may not be in active use.
ENH: update foamToEnsight to use newer methods in wrapped form
- static interpolate functions with renaming for manual use with
fvMeshSubset (when fvMeshSubsetProxy may be too limiting in
functionality)
- helps reduce clutter in the topoSetDict files.
Caveats when using this.
The older specification styles using "name" will conflict with the
set name. Eg,
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
sourceInfo
{
name inlet;
}
}
would flattened to the following
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
name inlet;
}
which overwrites the "name" used for the faceSet.
The solution is to use the updated syntax:
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
patch inlet;
}
- faceBitSet, pointBitSet and faceBoolSet (similar to cellBitSet)
* allows topo sources in a wider variety of places.
* With copy or move constructors.
- cylinderToPoint, searchableSurfaceToFace, searchableSurfaceToPoint,
sphereToFace, sphereToPoint sources
- optional innerRadius for sphere and cylinder sources to treat as hollow.
- support "sets" as well as "set" for cellToCell, faceToFace... sources.
* convenience and avoids writing the set during processing.
- now applicable to labelLists.
Note:
in some situations it will be more efficient to use
Foam::identity() directly. Eg,
globalIndex globalCells(mesh.nCells());
...
labelList cellIds
(
identity(globalCells.localSize(), globalCells.localStart())
);
- old 'DELETE' enum was easily confused with 'REMOVE', which removes
the set, not the elements from the set.
- provide corresponding subtractSet() method
STYLE: HashSet set/unset instead of insert/erase methods in topoSetSource
- simplifies switching to/from bitSet storage
- 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.
- use keyType::option enum to consolidate searching options.
These enumeration names should be more intuitive to use
and improve code readability.
Eg, lookupEntry(key, keyType::REGEX);
vs lookupEntry(key, false, true);
or
Eg, lookupEntry(key, keyType::LITERAL_RECURSIVE);
vs lookupEntry(key, true, false);
- new findEntry(), findDict(), findScoped() methods with consolidated
search options for shorter naming and access names more closely
aligned with other components. Behave simliarly to the
methods lookupEntryPtr(), subDictPtr(), lookupScopedEntryPtr(),
respectively. Default search parameters consistent with lookupEntry().
Eg, const entry* e = dict.findEntry(key);
vs const entry* e = dict.lookupEntryPtr(key, false, true);
- added '*' and '->' dereference operators to dictionary searchers.
- use the dictionary 'get' methods instead of readScalar for
additional checking
Unchecked: readScalar(dict.lookup("key"));
Checked: dict.get<scalar>("key");
- In templated classes that also inherit from a dictionary, an additional
'template' keyword will be required. Eg,
this->coeffsDict().template get<scalar>("key");
For this common use case, the predefined getXXX shortcuts may be
useful. Eg,
this->coeffsDict().getScalar("key");
- same as !isPattern(), but can be more readable.
- add wordRe enum state 'UNKNOWN', which has the identical value as
'DETECT' but used for a return value.
- instead of dict.lookup(name) >> val;
can use dict.readEntry(name, val);
for checking of input token sizes.
This helps catch certain types of input errors:
{
key1 ; // <- Missing value
key2 1234 // <- Missing ';' terminator
key3 val;
}
STYLE: readIfPresent() instead of 'if found ...' in a few more places.
- nBoundaryFaces() is often used and is identical to
(nFaces() - nInternalFaces()).
- forward the mesh nInternalFaces() and nBoundaryFaces() to
polyBoundaryMesh as nFaces() and start() respectively,
for use when operating on a polyBoundaryMesh.
STYLE:
- use identity() function with starting offset when creating boundary maps.
labelList map
(
identity(mesh.nBoundaryFaces(), mesh.nInternalFaces())
);
vs.
labelList map(mesh.nBoundaryFaces());
forAll(map, i)
{
map[i] = mesh.nInternalFaces() + i;
}
Previously had 3 possibilities for handling exposed internal faces
1. use default "oldInternalFaces"
2. specify -patch, to use the specified (existing) patch
3. specify -patches, to use the geometrically closest patches
Now relaxed the restriction on -patch to allow specification of a new
(not yet existing) patch name. This improves flexibility, but won't
catch typing mistakes.
Harmonize behaviour of -patches and -patch. When -patches is used to
specify a single, non-regex patch name, it now behaves identically to
-patch. Since the getList handling for options already allows special
treatment for single parameter lists, the following will work
identically:
subsetMesh -patch patch0
subsetMesh -patches patch0
subsetMesh -patches '( patch0 )'
In the future it might be reasonable to fully combine the behaviour of
'-patch' and '-patches' and treat them as aliases for each other.
ENH: support subsetMesh on a cellZone.
- when the '-zone' option is specified, the command argument is treated
as the name (or names) of cellZones to be selected instead of as the
name of the cellSet.
The command argument can be a single word, regex, or list of
word/regex.
Eg,
subsetMesh -zone -patch mypatch mixer
subsetMesh -zone -patch mypatch '(mixer "moving.*" )'
STYLE: simplify set handling and other code cleanup in subsetMesh
This method waits until all the threads have completed IO operations and
then clears any cached information about the files on disk. This
replaces the deactivation of threading by means of zeroing the buffer
size when writing and reading of a file happen in sequence. It also
allows paraFoam to update the list of available times.
