- change contiguous from a series of global functions to separate
templated traits classes:
- is_contiguous
- is_contiguous_label
- is_contiguous_scalar
The static constexpr 'value' and a constexpr conversion operator
allow use in template expressions. The change also makes it much
easier to define general traits and to inherit from them.
The is_contiguous_label and is_contiguous_scalar are special traits
for handling data of homogeneous components of the respective types.
- there were previously no hashing mechanisms for lists so they
would fall back to the definition for primitives and hash the
memory location of the allocated List object.
- provide a UList::Hash<> sub-class for inheritance, and also a global
specialization for UList<T>, List<T> such that the hash value for
List<List<T>> cascades properly.
- provide similar function in triFace to ensure that it remains
similar in behaviour to face.
- added SymmHash to Pair, for use when order is unimportant.
STYLE: use string::hash() more consistently
- no particular reason to use Hash<word>() which forwards to
string::hash() anyhow
- the NamedEnum wrapper is somewhate too rigid.
* All enumerated values are contiguous, starting as zero.
* The implicit one-to-one mapping precludes using it for aliases.
* For example, perhaps we want to support alternative lookup names for an
enumeration, or manage an enumeration lookup for a sub-range.
- regIOobject: don't re-register an unregister object on rename/assignment
- Hasher: split-off HasherInt with uint32_t specializations
- IOobject: writeBanner/writeDivider return Stream for easier chaining.
... also dropped some namespace bracketing while I was at it.
- If the underlying type is contiguous, FixedList hashes its storage directly.
- Drop labelPairHash (non-commutative) from fvMeshDistribute since
FixedList::Hash does the right thing anyhow.
- Hash<edge> specialization is commutative, without multiplication.
- Hash<triFace> specialization kept multiplication (but now uLabel).
There's not much point optimizing it, since it's not used much anyhow.
Misc. changes
- added StaticAssert to NamedEnum.H
- label.H / uLabel.H : define FOAM_LABEL_MAX, FOAM_ULABEL_MAX with the
values finally used for the storage. These can be useful for pre-processor
checks elsewhere (although I stopped needing them in the meantime).
- not much speed difference between SuperFastHash and Jenkin's lookup3 but
both are 5-10% faster than what is currently implemented in Foam::string,
albeit inlining probably helps there.
- TODO: integration with existing infrastructure
