- 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");
- 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
Function1 is an abstract base-class of run-time selectable unary
functions which may be composed of other Function1's allowing the user
to specify complex functions of a single scalar variable, e.g. time.
The implementations need not be a simple or continuous functions;
interpolated tables and polynomials are also supported. In fact form of
mapping between a single scalar input and a single primitive type output
is supportable.
The primary application of Function1 is in time-varying boundary
conditions, it also used for other functions of time, e.g. injected mass
is spray simulations but is not limited to functions of time.
