- the iterator/const_iterator now skip any nullptr entries,
which enables the following code to work even if the PtrList
contains nullptr:
for (const auto& intf : interfaces)
{
// Do something
...
}
- this is a change in behaviour compared to OpenFOAM-v2212 and earlier,
but is non-breaking:
* Lists without null entries will traverse exactly as before.
* Lists with null entries will now traverse correctly without
provoking a FatalError.
- traditionally used first(), last() methods,
but front(), back() are well-known from std::vector etc
which makes the access more familiar.
- support push_back() method for containers that already had append().
This increases name familiar and can help when porting between
different C++ code bases.
- support pop_back() method for List containers.
This is similar to std::vector
- ie, front(), back(), push_front(), push_back(), pop_front()
ENH: add CircularBuffer flattening operator() and list() method
- useful if assigning content to a List etc
BUG: CircularBuffer find() did not return logical index
ENH: reduce code effort for clearing linked-lists
ENH: adjust linked-list method name
- complement linked-list append() method with prepend() method
instead of 'insert', which is not very descriptive
- PtrDynList support for move append list:
can be used to concatenate pointer lists into a single one
- include resize in PtrDynList squeezeNull as being a natural
combination
- support sorting operations for pointer lists (PtrListOps)
- PtrList::release() method.
Similar to autoPtr and unique_ptr and clearer in purpose than
using set(i,nullptr)
- Construct from List of pointers, taking ownership.
Useful when upgrading code. Eg,
List<polyPatch*> oldList = ...;
PtrList<polyPatch> newList(oldList);
...
BUG: incorrect resizing method names (PtrDynList) in previously unused code
- improve internal handling to permit deriving resizable containers
(eg, PtrDynList).
- include '->' iterator dereferencing
- Only append/set non-const autoPtr references. This doesn't break
existing code, but makes the intention more transparent.
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In a few rare cases (eg, polyMesh::resetPrimitives) it has been
replaced by an autoPtr.
- support move construct/assignment for linked-lists themselves
and when moving into a 'normal' list
- better consistency with begin/end signatures and the various
iterators.
- for indirect linked-lists, provide iterator access to the underlying
data element address: iter.get() vs &(iter())
- add standard '->' indirection for iterators (as per normal STL
definitions)
