This class is largely a pre-C++11 holdover. It is now possible to
simply use move construct/assignment directly.
In a few rare cases (eg, polyMesh::resetPrimitives) it has been
replaced by an autoPtr.
- relocated ListAppendEqOp and ListUniqueEqOp to ListOps::appendEqOp
and ListOps::UniqueEqOp, respectively for better code isolation and
documentation of purpose.
- relocated setValues to ListOps::setValue() with many more
alternative selectors possible
- relocated createWithValues to ListOps::createWithValue
for better code isolation. The default initialization value is itself
now a default parameter, which allow for less typing.
Negative indices in the locations to set are now silently ignored,
which makes it possible to use an oldToNew mapping that includes
negative indices.
- additional ListOps::createWithValue taking a single position to set,
available both in copy assign and move assign versions.
Since a negative index is ignored, it is possible to combine with
the output of List::find() etc.
STYLE: changes for PackedList
- code simplication in the PackedList iterators, including dropping
the unused operator() on iterators, which is not available in plain
list versions either.
- improved sizing for PackedBoolList creation from a labelUList.
ENH: additional List constructors, for handling single element list.
- can assist in reducing constructor ambiguity, but can also helps
memory optimization when creating a single element list.
For example,
labelListList labels(one(), identity(mesh.nFaces()));
- redistributePar to have almost (complete) functionality of decomposePar+reconstructPar
- low-level distributed Field mapping
- support for mapping surfaceFields (including flipping faces)
- support for decomposing/reconstructing refinement data
