- for quantities such as face area/normals etc, it can be useful to
calculate directly and avoid the overhead of caching all the values.
STYLE: comments, use HashTable lookup() method in whichPoint()
- this allows more use of the runTimePostProcessing functionObject
that will fail more gracefully if the proper version could not be
built.
The dummy functionObject simply emits a message that it is not available.
- this is identical to either of these solutions:
* getEnv("FOAM_CASE")
* stringOps::expand("<case>")
but with a closer resemblance to argList or Time globalPath(),
which makes the intent clearer.
Avoids using raw strings in the caller, which improves compile-time checks.
Used in situations where a class has no derivation path or other
access to a time registry or command args.
- provide relativePath() for argList and for Time.
These are relative to the case globalPath().
Eg,
Info<< "output: " << runTime.relativePath(outputFile) << nl;
- partial solution for issue #1091
This generates file properties that are case-relative,
Eg,
plane0
{
p
{
file "<case>/postProcessing/plane0/1/p_plane0.vtk";
}
U
{
file "<case>/postProcessing/plane0/1/U_plane0.vtk";
}
}
This allows the case to be moved elsewhere and still find its files.
This functionality was previously added for vtkCloud, but now also
applies to streamLine, sampledSets and sampledSurfaces
- it is sufficient to provide the total number of times that findBinary()
failed instead of flooding the screen with messages
Full verbose warnings still emitted when debugging is on.
- 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)
- now use findEtcEntry() instead to handle file or directory.
Added findEtcEntries(), which provides provides a common code basis
for findEtcDirs(), findEtcFiles() ...
- this simplifies use of a unified test for directory or file.
fileName::Type what = myfile.type(true, true);
if (what == FILE) ...
if (what == DIRECTORY) ...
- Use distinct bit values for fileName::Type, for possible use in
the future.
- related to issue #1121, since we need a more flexible way of
expanding file or directory.
An alternative would be to add checkGzip to Foam::exists() and
Foam::type() functions, but that would make the code there more
confusing and in the fileHandler classes.
- 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
- Now also responds to the contents of the trigger file,
processing action= contents similar to used with external coupling.
Previously it only handled an action that was defined in the
dictionary. With this update, the user can chose a diferent action
simply by echoing the appropriate action string into the trigger
file.
- 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);
