- 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.
- centralizes IOobject handling and treatment of alternative locations.
If an alternative file location is specified, it will be used instead.
- provide decompositionMethod::canonicalName instead of using
"decomposeParDict" in various places.
General:
* -roots, -hostRoots, -fileHandler
Specific:
* -to <coordinateSystem> -from <coordinateSystem>
- Display -help-compat when compatibility or ignored options are available
STYLE: capitalization of options text
- use succincter method names that more closely resemble dictionary
and HashTable method names. This improves method name consistency
between classes and also requires less typing effort:
args.found(optName) vs. args.optionFound(optName)
args.readIfPresent(..) vs. args.optionReadIfPresent(..)
...
args.opt<scalar>(optName) vs. args.optionRead<scalar>(optName)
args.read<scalar>(index) vs. args.argRead<scalar>(index)
- the older method names forms have been retained for code compatibility,
but are now deprecated
Within decomposeParDict, it is now possible to specify a different
decomposition method, methods coefficients or number of subdomains
for each region individually.
The top-level numberOfSubdomains remains mandatory, since this
specifies the number of domains for the entire simulation.
The individual regions may use the same number or fewer domains.
Any optional method coefficients can be specified in a general
"coeffs" entry or a method-specific one, eg "metisCoeffs".
For multiLevel, only the method-specific "multiLevelCoeffs" dictionary
is used, and is also mandatory.
----
ENH: shortcut specification for multiLevel.
In addition to the longer dictionary form, it is also possible to
use a shorter notation for multiLevel decomposition when the same
decomposition method applies to each level.
- there was a slight mix of MUST_READ and MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED
but with no obvious code to handle runtime modified values
of the decomposition, or how this works with alternative
dictionaries.
- Cleanup/centralize handling of -decomposeParDict by relocating
common code into argList. Ensures that all processes receive
identical information about the -decomposeParDict opton.
- Only use alternative decomposeParDict for simpleFoam/motorBike
tutorial so that this will be included in the test loop for snappy.
- Added Mattijs' fix for surfaceRedistributePar.
This version is very inefficient in parallel and does not provide the
-parallelSource or -parallelTarget options which will need to be
reinstanted in the future or we could revert mapFields to the
OpenFOAM-2.2 version.
