- simplifies handling.
* enables unprotecting to avoid accidentally cloning.
* removes the need for dedicated constructor or factory forms.
* simplfies DimensionedField and GeometricField New factory methods
- update objectRegistry management method (internal use)
old: bool cacheTemporaryObject(...)
new: bool is_cacheTemporaryObject(...)
to clarify that it is a query, not a request for caching etc.
- prefer csorted() method for const access since it ensures that the
return values are also const pointers (for example) even if
the object itself can be accessed as a non-const.
- the csorted() method already existed for HashTable and
objectRegistry, but now added to IOobjectList for method name
consistency (even although the IOobjectList only has a const-access
version)
ENH: objectRegistry with templated strict lookup
- for lookupClass and csorted/sorted. Allows isType restriction as a
compile-time specification.
- returns UPtrList view (read-only or read/write) of the objects
- shorter names for IOobject checks: hasHeaderClass(), isHeaderClass()
- remove unused IOobject::isHeaderClassName(const word&) method.
The typed versions are preferable/recommended, but can still check
directly if needed:
(io.headerClassName() == "foo")
