- 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
- have printBuildInfo output to std::ostream
- removed extraneous include "stdFoam.H"
ENH: revert to pre-processor defines for hard-coded paths (#1712)
- redundant information, but more robust at run-time without relying
on initialization order
- extracts values from the arch "LSB;label=32;scalar=64" header entry
to provision for managing dissimilar primitive sizes.
Compensate for the additional IOobject members by narrowing the types
for the (objectState, readOption, writeOption) enumerations
- use std::string instead of c-string for the string constants
- centralize some definitions of resources into foamVersion.H
Now expose some of the hard-coded values used in foamEtcFiles()
so that they can be known or even overridden as required.
Relocate to src/OpenFOAM/include as a constant location.
- For compatibility, access to the old global names is provided via
macros
#define FOAMversion foamVersion::version
#define FOAMbuild foamVersion::build
#define FOAMbuildArch foamVersion::buildArch
- this isolation makes it easier to provide additional scoped methods
for dealing with version related information. Eg, printBuildInfo()
