- with ATOMIC, an intermediary file is created - eg, (fileAbc~tmp~)
where all of the output is written to. When the stream goes out of
scope, this intermediary file is moved/renamed to the actually
output name - eg, (fileAbc~tmp~) -> (fileAbc).
This adds some safety if the simulation crashes while writing the
file, since it will the partial (corrupt) file will be left
behind as (fileAbc~tmp~) and not as (fileAbc), which means it will
will be treated as a backup file and not loaded again on restart.
ENH: provided enumeration for APPEND/NON_APPEND
- clearer than using bool (with comments).
Since append mode is primarily only used by masterOFstream etc
this change is unlikely to affect user coding.
ENH: use file atomic for ensight file creation
- avoids corrupt (truncated) files being referenced by the ensight
case file if the simulation crashes while writing the ensight file.
- unused in regular OpenFOAM code
- POSIX version uses deprecated gethostbyname()
- Windows version never worked
COMP: localize, noexcept on internal OSspecific methods
STYLE: support fileName::Type SYMLINK and LINK as synonyms
- uses ocountstream for the output, which swallows all output.
Improves portability
ENH: improved efficiency in countstreambuf
- xsputn() instead of overflow
- more consistent seek* methods
- previously hidden as Detail::[IO]FstreamAllocator, now exposed
directly as [io]fstreamPointer, which allows reuse for
std::ifstream, std::ofstream wrapping, without the additional
ISstream, OSstream layers.
These stream pointers have some characteristics similar to a
unique_ptr.
- restrict direct gzstream usage to two files (fstreamPointers.C,
gzstream.C) which improves localization and makes it simpler to
enable/disable with the `HAVE_LIBZ` define.
The HAVE_LIBZ define is currently simply hard-coded in the
Make/options.
If compiled WITHOUT libz support:
- reading gz files : FatalError
- writing gz files : emit warning and downgrade to uncompressed
- warn if compression is specified in the case controlDict
and downgrade to uncompressed
ENH: minor updates to gzstream interface for C++11
- support construct/open with std::string for the file names.
CONFIG: provisioning for have_libz detection as wmake/script
