- stem(), replace_name(), replace_ext(), remove_ext() etc
- string::contains() method - similar to C++23 method
Eg,
if (keyword.contains('/')) ...
vs
if (keyword.find('/') != std::string::npos) ...
- use vector::removeCollinear a few places
COMP: incorrect initialization order in edgeFaceCirculator
COMP: Silence boost bind deprecation warnings (before CGAL-5.2.1)
- 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.
- makes the intent clearer and avoids the need for additional
constructor casting. Eg,
labelList(10, Zero) vs. labelList(10, 0)
scalarField(10, Zero) vs. scalarField(10, scalar(0))
vectorField(10, Zero) vs. vectorField(10, vector::zero)
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
- the heuristic for matching unresolved intersections is a relatively
simple matching scheme that seems to be more robust than attempting to walk
the geometry or the cuts.
- avoid false positives for self intersection
- the purpose is more explicit, without needing to check documentation
about what the bool parameter means.
STYLE: improve formatting of fileName documentation
surfaceBooleanFeatures: use CGAL for intersection
surfaceCheck: write surface zoning as vtk file
surfaceInflate: new utility to offset surface
surfacePatch: replacement for surfaceAutoPatch. Also does cutting of surfaces.
