This method waits until all the threads have completed IO operations and
then clears any cached information about the files on disk. This
replaces the deactivation of threading by means of zeroing the buffer
size when writing and reading of a file happen in sequence. It also
allows paraFoam to update the list of available times.

Resolves bug report https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2962
- The additional output generated by #calc directives in the
controlDict or decomposeParDict causes issues for the RunFunctions
extraction of 'application' and 'numberOfSubdomains'.
Avoid by using -disableFunctionEntries, which also has the side-effect
of disabling '#include'.
- there were previously no hashing mechanisms for lists so they
would fall back to the definition for primitives and hash the
memory location of the allocated List object.
- provide a UList::Hash<> sub-class for inheritance, and also a global
specialization for UList<T>, List<T> such that the hash value for
List<List<T>> cascades properly.
- provide similar function in triFace to ensure that it remains
similar in behaviour to face.
- added SymmHash to Pair, for use when order is unimportant.
STYLE: use string::hash() more consistently
- no particular reason to use Hash<word>() which forwards to
string::hash() anyhow
- With argList::noFunctionObjects() we use the logic added in
4b93333292 (issue #352)
By removing the '-noFunctionObjects' option, we automatically
suppress the creation of function-objects via Time (with argList
as a parameter).
There is generally no need in these cases for an additional
runTime.functionObjects().off() statement
Use the argList::noFunctionObjects() for more direct configuration
and reduce unnecessary clutter in the -help information.
In previous versions, the -noFunctionObjects would have been redundant
anyhow, so we can also just ignore it now instead.
- signedDistance() method is like distance() but retains
the positive/negative sign for the side of the plane.
- the sign() method returns the sign as -1,0,+1 integer for
classification purposes where it is important to distinguish between
a zero value and a positive value (eg, for cutting). Optional
tolerance can be supplied to round for zero.
- refactor and inlined simple and frequently used methods.
- add boundBox faceCentre() method, which can be useful for creating
clipping planes from a bounding box.
Relocated treeBoundBox faceNormals to boundBox since they apply
equally there - the meaning of the faces (x-min, x-max, etc)
is the same, even if the point addressing for the faces differs.
- rationalized code dealing with extraction of name or indices from
coordinateSystems, polyBoundaryMesh, faBoundaryMesh, fvBoundaryMesh,
ZoneMesh to use internal implementations that allow direct
searching/matching without building an intermediate list of names.
- simpler and more efficient handling of patch group matching.
- 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
- avoids compiler ambiguity when virtual methods such as
IOdictionary::read() exist.
- the method was introduced in 1806, and was thus not yet widely used
- simplifies usage.
Support syncPar check on names() to detect inconsistencies.
- simplify readFields, ReadFields and other routines by using these
new methods.
- what was previously termed 'setLargeCellSubset()' is now simply
'setCellSubset()' and supports memory efficient interfaces.
The new parameter ordering avoids ambiguities caused by default
parameters.
Old parameter order:
setLargeCellSubset
(
const labelList& region,
const label currentRegion,
const label patchID = -1,
const bool syncCouples = true
);
New parameter order:
setCellSubset
(
const label regioni,
const labelUList& regions,
const label patchID = -1,
const bool syncCouples = true
);
And without ambiguity:
setCellSubset
(
const labelUList& selectedCells,
const label patchID = -1,
const bool syncCouples = true
);
- support bitSet directly for specifying the selectedCells for
memory efficiency and ease of use.
- Additional constructors to perform setCellSubset() immediately,
which simplifies coding.
For example,
meshParts.set
(
zonei,
new fvMeshSubset(mesh, selectedCells)
);
Or even
return autoPtr<fvMeshSubset>::New(mesh, selectedCells);
- add additional control via a Foam::infoDetailLevel flag, which is
supported by a 'DetailLevel' macro. Eg,
DetailLevel << "some information" << nl
- When infoDetailLevel is zero, the stdout for all Foam::system() calls
are also redirected to stderr to prevent child output from
appearing on the parent.
- close stdin before exec in system call.
- some paraview versions (eg, on windows) don't support float, only double.
This mostly affected the vtkSurfaceWriter.
The foamToVTK is also affected, but since it also supports the XML
output formats (vtp, vtu) these can be used instead.
- can be used to test the behaviour of the decomposion and its
characteristics without writing any decomposition to disk.
Combine with -cellDist to visualize the expected decomposition
result.
- 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.
