- argList::envExecutable() static method.
This is identical to getEnv("FOAM_EXECUTABLE"), where the name of
the executable has typically been set from the argList construction.
Provides a singleton access to this value from locations that
do not have knowledge of the originating command args (argList).
This is a similar rationale as for the argList::envGlobalPath() static.
- additional argList::envRelativePath() static method.
- make -dry-run handling more central and easier to use by adding into
argList itself.
STYLE: drop handling of -srcDoc (v1706 option)
- replaced with -doc-source for 1712 and never used much anyhow
- simplifies local toggling.
- centralize fileModification static variables into IOobject.
They were previously scattered between IOobject and regIOobject
- Favour use of argList methods that are more similar to dictionary
method names with the aim of reducing the cognitive load.
* Silently deprecate two-parameter get() method in favour of the
more familiar getOrDefault.
* Silently deprecate opt() method in favour of get()
These may be verbosely deprecated in future versions.
General:
* -roots, -hostRoots, -fileHandler
Specific:
* -to <coordinateSystem> -from <coordinateSystem>
- Display -help-compat when compatibility or ignored options are available
STYLE: capitalization of options text
- simplifies usage.
Support syncPar check on names() to detect inconsistencies.
- simplify readFields, ReadFields and other routines by using these
new methods.
- aids with detection of excess tokens (issue #762)
- deprecated dictionary::operator[] in favour of the lookup() method
which offers more flexibilty and clarity of purpose.
Additionally, the read<> and get<> forms should generally be used
instead anyhow.
- 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
Moved file path handling to regIOobject and made it type specific so
now every object can have its own rules. Examples:
- faceZones are now processor local (and don't search up anymore)
- timeStampMaster is now no longer hardcoded inside IOdictionary
(e.g. uniformDimensionedFields support it as well)
- the distributedTriSurfaceMesh is properly processor-local; no need
for fileModificationChecking manipulation.
