- releases ownership of the pointer. A no-op (and returns nullptr)
for references.
Naming consistent with unique_ptr and autoPtr.
DOC: adjust wording for memory-related classes
- add is_const() method for tmp, refPtr.
Drop (ununsed and confusing looking) isTmp method from refPtr
in favour of is_pointer() or movable() checks
ENH: noexcept for some pTraits methods, remove redundant 'inline'
- test for const first for tmp/refPtr (simpler logic)
- similar to -dry-run handling, can be interrogated from argList,
which makes it simpler to add into utilities.
- support multiple uses of -dry-run and -verbose to increase the
level. For example, could have
someApplication -verbose -verbose
and inside of the application:
if (args.verbose() > 2) ...
BUG: error with empty distributed roots specification (fixes#2196)
- previously used the size of distributed roots to transmit if the
case was running in distributed mode, but this behaves rather poorly
with bad input. Specifically, the following questionable setup:
distributed true;
roots ( /*none*/ );
Now transmit the ParRunControl distributed() value instead,
and also emit a gentle warning for the user:
WARNING: running distributed but did not specify roots!
- provide a plain stream() method on messageStream to reduce reliance
on casting operators and slightly opaque operator()() calls etc
- support alternative stream for messageStream serial output.
This can be used to support local redirection of output.
For example,
refPtr<OFstream> logging; // or autoPtr, unique_ptr etc
// Later...
Info.stream(logging.get())
<< "Detailed output ..." << endl;
This will use the stdout semantics in the normal case, or allow
redirection to an output file if a target output stream is defined,
but still effectively use /dev/null on non-master processes.
This is mostly the same as this ternary
(logging ? *logging : Info())
except that the ternary could be incorrect on sub-processes,
requires more typing etc.
ENH: use case-relative names of dictionary, IOstream for FatalIOError
- normally yields more easily understandable information
- UPstream::mpiGather (MPI_Gather) - used by Pstream::listGatherValues
- UPstream::mpiScatter (MPI_Scatter) - used by Pstream::listScatterValues
These are much simpler forms for gather/scatter of fixed-sized
contiguous types data types (eg, primitives, simple pairs etc).
In the gather form, creates a list of gathered values on the master
process. The subranks have a list size of zero.
Similarly, scatter will distribute a list of values to single values
on each process.
Instead of
labelList sendSizes(Pstream::nProcs());
sendSizes[Pstream::myProcNo()] = sendData.size();
Pstream::gatherList(sendSizes);
Can write
const labelList sendSizes
(
UPstream::listGatherValues<label>(sendData.size())
);
// Less code, lower overhead and list can be const.
For scattering an individual value only,
instead of
labelList someValues;
if (Pstream::master()) someValues = ...;
Pstream::gatherList(sendSizes);
const label localValue
(
someValues[Pstream::myProcNo()]
);
Can write
labelList someValues;
if (Pstream::master()) someValues = ...;
Pstream::gatherList(sendSizes);
const label localValue
(
UPstream::listScatterValues<label>(someValues)
);
Can of course also mix listGatherValues to assemble a list on master
and use Pstream::scatterList to distribute.
ENH: adjusted globalIndex gather methods
- added mpiGather() method [contiguous data only] using MPI_Gatherv
- respect localSize if gathering master data to ensure that a
request for 0 master elements is properly handled.
- the size of a List often requires adjustment prior to an operation,
but old values (if any) are not of interest and will be overwritten.
In these cases can use the _nocopy versions to avoid additional memory
overhead of the intermediate list and the copy/move overhead of
retaining the old values (that we will subsequently discard anyhow).
No equivalent for PtrList/UPtrList - this would be too fragile.
- add swap DynamicField with DynamicList
BUG: fixed Dynamic{Field,List} setCapacity corner case
- for the case when the newly requested capacity coincides with the
current addressable size, the resize of the underlying list would have
been bypassed - ie, the real capacity was not actually changed.
- remove (unused) PtrDynList setCapacity method as too fragile
- previously returned the range slice as a UList,
but this prevents convenient assignment.
Apply similar handling for Field/SubField
Allows the following
labelRange range(...);
fullList.slice(range) = identity(range.size());
and
fullList.slice(range) = UIndirectList<T>(other, addr);
ENH: create SubList from full FixedList (simplifies interface)
- allow default constructed SubList. Use shallowCopy to 'reset' later
- support simple mesh subsetting to vtu formats to enable debug output
for a subsection of an existing polyMesh
- rudimentary support for VTK from cellShapes is intended for handling
basic primitive cell shapes without a full blown polyMesh description.
For example,
// Create an empty polyMesh with points only
polyMesh debugMesh
(
io,
std::move(points),
faceList(), // faces
labelList(), // owner
labelList(), // neighbour
true // syncPar
);
// Establish the appropriate VTK sizing for the TET shapes
vtk::vtuCells vtuCells;
vtuCells.resetShapes(debugCutTets);
vtuCells.nPoints(debugMesh.nPoints());
NOTE
Since the vtk::internalMeshWriter only uses the polyMesh reference
for the points, it is also possible to create the vtuCells
description without a pointField (or from a different mesh
description) and write out the connectivity using the pointField
from a different mesh.
- allows reuse similar to refPtr for wrapping different content.
- additional control for when contents are copied back,
instead of waiting for the adaptor to go out of scope.
Eg,
if (adaptor.active())
{
adaptor.commit();
adaptor.clear();
}
- static ConstPrecisionAdaptor::get method renamed to 'select' as a
better description of its purpose and avoid confusion with
non-static 'get' method.
Was previously only used within GAMGPreconditioner, but even there
it is better just to use the ConstPrecisionAdaptor directly.
- Can specify
```
transform
{
origin (1 2 3);
rotation none;
}
```
instead of the longer form
```
transform
{
origin (1 2 3);
e1 (1 0 0);
e3 (0 0 1);
}
```
COMPAT: remove old (pre-1812) Euler and STARCD keywords
- use "angles", remove old compat name "rotation"
as clutter and possible confusion with "coordinate rotation"
STYLE: remove coordinate rotation move constructors
- an unnecessary holdover from older code.
- adjust commented-out evaluation to avoid warnings.
With code like this
```
#if 0
nxin #eval{ round($nxin / 5) };
#endif
```
The handling of the "#if 0 / #endif" clause uses the plain ISstream
parser to tokenize. This means that the "round(" is parsed as a word
with a mismatched closing ')', whereas the "#eval" parser will slurp
everything in until the closing brace and send it off as a string
to the expression parser.
- makes it easier to use for local or alternative storage.
Eg,
```
tmp<volScalarField> tfld;
tfld.cref(obj.cfindObject<volScalarField>("name"));
if (!tfld)
{
tfld = volScalarField::New("name", ...);
}
```
- refine definition of patch boundary faces to distinguish between
boundaryFaces() and uniqBoundaryFaces().
* boundaryFaces() for edge to face lookup on boundary edges.
* uniqBoundaryFaces() for accessing quantities such as face areas
or eroding an outer layer
ENH: LabelledItem container, replaces unused 'Keyed' container
- method names in alignment with objectHit, pointIndexHit etc.
Top-level name aligns with labelledTri.
- can now drop older Test-decomposePar for exploration purposes
and simply use -dry-run with the -domains and -method options.
- write VTK file instead of volScalarField in combination
with -dry-run and -cellDist.
Avoids adding any OpenFOAM fields and is usually faster to load.
Also easier to rename than a volScalarField would be when exploring
multiple decompositions.
- minor simplification of #if/#endif handling
ENH: improve input robustness with negative-prefixed expansions (#2095)
- especially in blockMeshDict it is useful to negate an value directly.
Eg,
```
xmax 100;
xmin -$xmax;
```
However, this fails since the dictionary expansion is a two-step
process of tokenization followed by expansion. After the expansion
the given input would now be the following:
```
xmax 100;
xmin - 100;
```
and retrieving a scalar value for 'xmin' fails.
Counteract this by being more generous on tokenized input when
attempting to retrieve a label or scalar value.
If a '-' is found where a number is expected, use it to negate the
subsequent value.
The previous solution was to invoke an 'eval':
```
xmax 100;
xmin #eval{-$xmax};
```
which adds additional clutter.
- return internalEdges() and boundaryEdges() sub lists directly
- calculate and return boundaryFaces() to identify faces attached to
boundary edges.
- minor code cleanup, and add PrimitivePatchBase class for
non-templated code.
STYLE: mark unused parameter in globalMeshData mergePoints
- this constructor was added for similarity with std::vector,
but continues to cause various annoyances.
The main problem is that the templated parameter tends to grab
anything that is not a perfect match for other constructors.
Typically seen with two integers (in 64-bit mode), but various other
cases as well.
If required, the ListOps::create() function provides a lengthier
alternative but one that can also incorporate transformations.
Eg,
pointField pts = ....;
List<scalar> mags
(
List<scalar>::create
(
pts.begin(),
pts.end(),
[](const vector& v){ return magSqr(v); }
);
- additional rcEdge(), rcEdges() methods for reverse order walk
- accept generic edge() method as alternative to faceEdge() for
single edge retrieval.
- edge() method with points -> returns the vector
- reduce the number of operations in edgeDirection methods
DEFEATURE: remove longestEdge global function
- deprecated and replaced by face::longestEdge() method (2017-04)
Step 1.
include "addAllRegionOptions.H"
Adds the -allRegions, -regions and -region options to argList.
Step 2.
include "getAllRegionOptions.H"
Processes the options with -allRegions selecting everything
from the regionProperties.
OR use -regions to specify multiple regions (from
regionProperties), and can also contain regular expressions
OR use the -region option
Specifying a single -regions NAME (not a regular expresssion)
is the same as -region NAME and doesn't use regionProperties
Creates a `wordList regionNames`
Step 3.
Do something with the region names.
Either directly, or quite commonly with the following
include "createNamedMeshes.H"
Creates a `PtrList<fvMesh> meshes`
STYLE: add description to some central include files
- make regionName an optional constructor parameter, which eliminates
a separate set of constructors and construction tables. Adjust
internals to treat a missing/empty regionName as a no-op.
- pass in fallback dictionary content via new IOdictionary constructor
with a pointer
ENH: further relax check for matching number of processor dirs
- if the "numberOfSubdomains" entry is missing (or even zero)
ignore checks of processor dirs as meaningless.
- additional debug information
- improve support for dictionary specification of constant, polynomial
and table entries. These previously only worked properly for
primitiveEntry, which causes confusion.
- extend table Function1 to include TableFile functionality.
Simplifies switching and modifying content.
- additional default construct
- add explicit zero-size constructor for ITstream.
For tagged dispatching, without ambiguity
- elminate mandatory name for parsing versions.
This makes it easier to use ITstream, IStringStream, UListStream
interchangeable.
- The keyType is primarily used within dictionary reading, whereas
wordRe and wordRes are used for selectors in code.
Unifying on wordRe and wordRes reduces the number matching options.
- additional dummy template parameter to assist with supporting
derived classes. Currently just used for string types, but can be
extended.
- provide hash specialization for various integer types.
Removes the need for any forwarding.
- change default hasher for HashSet/HashTable from 'string::hash'
to `Hash<Key>`. This avoids questionable hashing calls and/or
avoids compiler resolution problems.
For example,
HashSet<label>::hasher and labelHashSet::hasher now both properly
map to Hash<label> whereas previously HashSet<label> would have
persistently mapped to string::hash, which was incorrect.
- standardize internal hashing functors.
Functor name is 'hasher', as per STL set/map and the OpenFOAM
HashSet/HashTable definitions.
Older code had a local templated name, which added unnecessary
clutter and the template parameter was always defaulted.
For example,
Old: `FixedList<label, 3>::Hash<>()`
New: `FixedList<label, 3>::hasher()`
Unchanged: `labelHashSet::hasher()`
Existing `Hash<>` functor namings are still supported,
but deprecated.
- define hasher and Hash specialization for bitSet and PackedList
- add symmetric hasher for 'face'.
Starts with lowest vertex value and walks in the direction
of the next lowest value. This ensures that the hash code is
independent of face orientation and face rotation.
NB:
- some of keys for multiphase handling (eg, phasePairKey)
still use yet another function naming: `hash` and `symmHash`.
This will be targeted for alignment in the future.
- wrap command-line retrieval of fileName with an implicit validate.
Instead of this:
fileName input(args[1]);
fileName other(args["someopt"]);
Now use this:
auto input = args.get<fileName>(1);
auto other = args.get<fileName>("someopt");
which adds a fileName::validate on the inputs
Because of how it is implemented, it will automatically also apply
to argList getOrDefault<fileName>, readIfPresent<fileName> etc.
- adjust fileName::validate and clean to handle backslash conversion.
This makes it easier to ensure that path names arising from MS-Windows
are consistently handled internally.
- dictionarySearch: now check for initial '/' directly instead of
relying on fileName isAbsolute(), which now does more things
BREAKING: remove fileName::clean() const method
- relying on const/non-const to control the behaviour (inplace change
or return a copy) is too fragile and the const version was
almost never used.
Replace:
fileName sanitized = constPath.clean();
With:
fileName sanitized(constPath);
sanitized.clean());
STYLE: test empty() instead of comparing with fileName::null
- simplify compile/uncompile, reading, assignment
- implicit construct wordRe from keyType (was explicit) to simplify
future API changes.
- make Foam::isspace consistent with std::isspace (C-locale)
by including vertical tab and form feed
ENH: improve #ifeq float/label comparisons
- originally had tests for regex meta characters strewn across
regExp classes as well as wordRe, keyType, string.
And had special-purpose quotemeta static function within string
that relied on special naming convention for testing the meta
characters.
The regex meta character testing/handling now relegated entirely
to the regExp class(es).
Relocate quotemeta to stringOps, with a predicate.
- avoid code duplication. Reuse some regExpCxx methods in regExpPosix
For example,
```
entry #eval 10 { vector(rand(), 0, 0) };
```
ENH: be more generous and ignore trailing ';' in expressions
STYLE: adjust parse token name for tensor::I
- simplifies local toggling.
- centralize fileModification static variables into IOobject.
They were previously scattered between IOobject and regIOobject
- support selective enable/disable of the file banner.
ENH: improve code isolation for decomposedBlockData
- use readBlockEntry/writeBlockEntry to encapsulate the IO handling,
which ensures more consistency
- new decomposedBlockData::readHeader for chaining into the
block header information.
- remove unused constructors for decomposedBlockData
ENH: minor cleanup of collated fileOperations
- improves interface and data consistency.
Older signatures are still active (via the Foam_IOstream_extras
define).
- refine internals for IOstreamOption streamFormat, versionNumber
ENH: improve data alignment for IOstream and IOobject
- fit sizeof label/scalar into unsigned char
STYLE: remove dead code
- read/write lists of character data in binary only.
This is the only means of preserving data.
If character data are written as an ASCII list, there is no means of
determining if spaces or newlines are content or separators.
- handle binary/contiguous first as being the most obvious, followed
by increasing complexity of ascii.
Structure reading and writing routines similarly by introducing a
readList method to compliment the writeList method.
- for use when the is_contiguous check has already been done outside
the loop. Naming as per std::span.
STYLE: use data/cdata instead of begin
ENH: replace random_shuffle with shuffle, fix OSX int64 ambiguity
- direct check of punctuation.
For example,
while (!tok.isPunctuation(token::BEGIN_LIST)) ..
instead of
while (!(tok.isPunctuation() && tok.pToken() == token::BEGIN_LIST)) ..
Using direct comparison (tok != token::BEGIN_LIST) can be fragile
when comparing int values:
int c = readChar(is);
while (tok != c) .. // Danger, uses LABEL comparison!
- direct check of word.
For example,
if (tok.isWord("uniform")) ..
instead of
if (tok.isWord() && tok.wordToken() == "uniform") ..
- make token lineNumber() a setter method
ENH: adjust internal compound method empty() -> moved()
- support named compound tokens
STYLE: setter method for stream indentation
- centralises existing functions (erfInv, incGamma*, invIncGamma*).
Provides a location for additional functions in the future.
- adjusted existing models to use these functions
(e.g. distributionModels::normal)
- robuster matching behaviour when encountering paths that themselves
contain the word "processor" in them. For example,
"/path/processor0generation2/case1/processor10/system"
will now correctly match on processor10 instead of failing.
- use procRangeType for encapsulating the processor ranges
- provision for information of distributed vs non-distributed roots.
The information is currently available from the initial setup, but
can useful to access directly within fileOperation.
STYLE: modernize list iteration
- the NullObject singleton can also be cast to a bitSet
(sufficient size and bit-pattern). Useful for places that
need to hold a reference on construction
- change to a templated implementation instead of relying on
the container's writeList() method.
This inlines the generation while also adding the flexibility to
define different delimiters (at compile time) without the
performance penalty of passing run-time parameters.
- deprecate get(key, deflt) in favour of lookup(key, deflt).
Method name compatibility with HashTable.
- deprecate operator().
The meaning is too opaque and equally served by other means:
- use get(key) instead of operator()(key).
Const access whereas HashTable::operator()(key)
creates missing entry.
- lookup(key, deflt) - instead of operator()(key, deflt).
Const access whereas HashTable::operator()(key, deflt)
creates a missing entry.
- make Enum iterable to allow participation in range-for etc.
- For slow oscillations it can be more intuitive to specify the
period.
ENH: separate mark/space for Square
- makes it easier to tailor the desired intervals.
BUG: incorrect square wave fraction with negative phase shifts
ENH: additional cosine Function1
STYLE: avoid code duplication by inheriting Cosine/Square from Sine.
- deprecated Feb-2018, but not marked as such.
The set() method originally enforce an additional run-time check
(Fatal if pointer was already set), but this was rarely used.
In fact, the set() method was invariably used in constructors
where the pointer by definition was unset.
Can now mark as deprecated to catch the last of these.
We prefer reset() for similarity with std::unique_ptr
Eg,
FOAM_EXTRA_CXXFLAGS="-DFoam_autoPtr_deprecate_setMethod" wmake
ENH: support construction of zero-sized IndirectList
- useful when addressing is to be generated in-place after construction.
Eg,
indirectPrimitivePatch myPatches
(
IndirectList<face>(mesh.faces(), Zero),
mesh.points()
);
labelList& patchFaces = myPatches.addressing();
patchFaces.resize(...);
// populate patchFaces
STYLE: add noexcept for zero/one fields and remove old dependency files
COMP: correct typedefs for geometricOneField, geometricZeroField
- uses ocountstream for the output, which swallows all output.
Improves portability
ENH: improved efficiency in countstreambuf
- xsputn() instead of overflow
- more consistent seek* methods
- prefix FOAM_MPI and library directories with 'sys-' for system
versions for uniform identication.
WM_MPLIB | libdir (FOAM_MPI) | old naming |
SYSTEMMPI | sys-mpi | mpi |
SYSTEMOPENMPI | sys-openmpi | openmpi-system |
- prefix preferences with 'prefs.' to make them more easily
identifiable, and update bin/tools/create-mpi-config accordingly
Old name: config.{csh,sh}/openmpi
New name: config.{csh,sh}/prefs.openmpi
- additional mpi preferences now available:
* prefs.intelmpi
* prefs.mpich
...
CONFIG: added hook for EASYBUILDMPI (eb-mpi), somewhat like USERMPI
- EasyBuild uses mpicc when compiling, so no explicit wmake rules are
used
ENH: support different major versions for system openmpi
- for example, with
WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI2
defines FOAM_MPI=sys-openmpi2 and thus creates lib/sys-openmpi2
ENH: centralize handling of mpi as 'mpi-rules'
Before:
sinclude $(GENERAL_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
sinclude $(DEFAULT_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
ifeq (,$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN))
FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN := $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/$(FOAM_MPI)
endif
After:
include $(GENERAL_RULES)/mpi-rules
- also allows variants such as SYSTEMOPENMPI2 to be handled separately
- ensures that subsequent Allwmake scripts know about it.
ENH: add bin/tools/query-detect wrapper for wmake have_* scripts
CONFIG: use project/ThirdParty without additional sanity checks
- no need to test for Allwmake or platforms/ if ThirdParty is located
within the project directory itself.
COMP: add simple mpi test to 00-dummy
- for testing library linkage, etc.
- a sphere/spheroid can be specified as a single radius or three radii.
If all three values happen to be identical, they are collapsed to a
single value. Examples,
radius 2;
radius (2 2 2);
radius (2 3 4);
radius (2 2 4);
The search for nearest point on an ellipse or ellipsoid follows the
description given by Geometric Tools (David Eberly), which also
include some pseudo code. The content is CC-BY 4.0
In the search algorithm, symmetry is exploited and the searching is
confined to the first (+x,+y,+z) octant, and the radii are ordered
from largest to smallest.
Searching is optimized for sphere, prolate and oblate spheroids.
- code reduction, documentation, code stubs for spheroid (#1901)
- make searchableSurfaceCollection available as 'collection'
for consistency with other objects
ENH: add some scalar constants for .org compatibility (#1881)
Although it can very much be a moving target, it can prove partly
useful to have some compatibility constants/methods.
- The wholesale change of 'GREAT' -> 'great' etc (JAN-2018), makes
user coding for multiple versions problematic. When
COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is defined, now define constants (aliases) named
as per the openfoam.org version. Values, however, remain identical.
- For type-safe dictionary value retrieval, we have the templated
get<> methods added around NOV-2018 and deprecated the lookupType
method.
The .org version followed suit in NOV-2019, but opted for renaming
the templated lookupType method as a templated 'lookup' method.
Using this is discouraged, but allowed when COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is
defined.
- flips state while preserving the textual representation.
Eg, OFF <-> ON, YES <-> NO etc.
- fix test case to avoid triggering abort(), which we cannot try/catch
- provides a more direct means of generating a compound token without
an Istream
- add transferCompoundToken() without Istream reference
- mark more token methods as noexcept
- provides consistency with identity(label, label) and looks more
familiar than using labelRange::labels()
- relocates labelRange IO operators to IntRange
ENH: make sliceRange interators random access
STYLE: scalarRanges::match() instead of predicate operator
- returns a range of `int` values that can be iterated across.
For example,
for (const int proci : Pstream::subProcs()) { ... }
instead of
for
(
int proci = Pstream::firstSlave();
proci <= Pstream::lastSlave();
++proci
)
{
...
}
- returns a range of `int` values that can be iterated across.
For example,
for (const int proci : Pstream::allProcs()) { ... }
instead of
for (label proci = 0; proci < Pstream::nProcs(); ++proci) { ... }
- add reverse iterators and replace std::iterator
(deprecated in C++17) with full definitions
- simplify construction of iterators
- construct labelRange from a single single parameter.
This creates a (0,len) range.
- make basic constructors forms constexpr.
Remove unused size checks.
- Derive labelRange from new IntRange template class.
Allows reuse of base functionality with different integral sizes.
Deprecations:
- deprecate labelRange::valid() in favour of using
labelRange::empty() or the bool operator.
For example,
if (range) ... vs older if (range.valid()) ...
DEFEATURE: drop labelRange::null, scalarRange::null static variables
- turned out to be not particularly useful.
Can simply use constexpr contructor forms
DEFEATURE: drop labelRange::identity static method
- simply use the single-parameter constructor
- introduce WM_COMPILE_CONTROL variable to convey control information
into the build rules.
The convention (as per spack):
- '+' to select a feature
- '~' to deselect a feature
Eg, to select the gold linker, and disable openmp
(spaces are not required):
WM_COMPILE_CONTROL="+gold ~openmp"
CONFIG: accept FOAM_EXTRA_LDFLAGS for AMD, gold, Mingw linkers
CONFIG: generalize PROJECT_LIBS (-ldl used almost universally)
