ENH: add pTraits and IO for std::int8_t
STYLE: cull some implicitly available includes
- pTraits.H is included by label/scalar etc
- zero.H is included by UList
STYLE: cull redundant forward declarations for Istream/Ostream
- resizes to current fieldNames_ size and assigns everything to
false to avoid any "stickiness" if the field ordering changes
between reads.
ENH: additional debugging faOption/fvOption (#2110)
- aids tracing which sources are being used/ignored
- update code style
STYLE: rename CodedSource -> CodedFvSource
- avoid future name clashes with CodedFaSource
- previously introduced `getOrDefault` as a dictionary _get_ method,
now complete the transition and use it everywhere instead of
`lookupOrDefault`. This avoids mixed usage of the two methods that
are identical in behaviour, makes for shorter names, and promotes
the distinction between "lookup" access (ie, return a token stream,
locate and return an entry) and "get" access (ie, the above with
conversion to concrete types such as scalar, label etc).
- more dictionary-like methods, enforce keyType::LITERAL for all
lookups to avoid any spurious keyword matching.
- new readEntry, readIfPresent methods
- The get() method replaces the now deprecate lookup() method.
- Deprecate lookupOrFailsafe()
Failsafe behaviour is now an optional parameter for lookupOrDefault,
which makes it easier to tailor behaviour at runtime.
- output of the names is now always flatted without line-breaks.
Thus,
os << flatOutput(someEnumNames.names()) << nl;
os << someEnumNames << nl;
both generate the same output.
- Constructor now uses C-string (const char*) directly instead of
Foam::word in its initializer_list.
- Remove special enum + initializer_list constructor form since
it can create unbounded lookup indices.
- Removd old hasEnum, hasName forms that were provided during initial
transition from NamedEnum.
- Added static_assert on Enum contents to restrict to enum or
integral values. Should not likely be using this class to enumerate
other things since it internally uses an 'int' for its values.
Changed volumeType accordingly to enumerate on its type (enum),
not the class itself.
- use the dictionary 'get' methods instead of readScalar for
additional checking
Unchecked: readScalar(dict.lookup("key"));
Checked: dict.get<scalar>("key");
- In templated classes that also inherit from a dictionary, an additional
'template' keyword will be required. Eg,
this->coeffsDict().template get<scalar>("key");
For this common use case, the predefined getXXX shortcuts may be
useful. Eg,
this->coeffsDict().getScalar("key");
- both autoPtr and tmp are defined with an implicit construct from
nullptr (but with explicit construct from a pointer to null).
Thus is it safe to use 'nullptr' when returning an empty autoPtr or tmp.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
Improve alignment of its behaviour with std::shared_ptr
- element_type typedef
- swap, reset methods
* additional reference access methods:
cref()
returns a const reference, synonymous with operator().
This provides a more verbose alternative to using the '()' operator
when that is desired.
Mnemonic: a const form of 'ref()'
constCast()
returns a non-const reference, regardless if the underlying object
itself is a managed pointer or a const object.
This is similar to ref(), but more permissive.
Mnemonic: const_cast<>
Using the constCast() method greatly reduces the amount of typing
and reading. And since the data type is already defined via the tmp
template parameter, the type deduction is automatically known.
Previously,
const tmp<volScalarField>& tfld;
const_cast<volScalarField&>(tfld()).rename("name");
volScalarField& fld = const_cast<volScalarField&>(tfld());
Now,
tfld.constCast().rename("name");
auto& fld = tfld.constCast();

BUG: attempts to move tmp value that may still be shared.
- old code simply checked isTmp() to decide if the contents could be
transfered. However, this means that the content of a shared tmp
would be removed, leaving other instances without content.
* movable() method checks that for a non-null temporary that is
unique (not shared).
For example the actuationDiskSource fvOption may now be specified
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
rather than
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
active on;
actuationDiskSourceCoeffs
{
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
}
but this form is supported for backward compatibility.
In most boundary conditions, fvOptions etc. required and optional fields
to be looked-up from the objectRegistry are selected by setting the
keyword corresponding to the standard field name in the BC etc. to the
appropriate name in the objectRegistry. Usually a default is provided
with sets the field name to the keyword name, e.g. in the
totalPressureFvPatchScalarField the velocity is selected by setting the
keyword 'U' to the appropriate name which defaults to 'U':
Property | Description | Required | Default value
U | velocity field name | no | U
phi | flux field name | no | phi
.
.
.
However, in some BCs and functionObjects and many fvOptions another
convention is used in which the field name keyword is appended by 'Name'
e.g.
Property | Description | Required | Default value
pName | pressure field name | no | p
UName | velocity field name | no | U
This difference in convention is unnecessary and confusing, hinders code
and dictionary reuse and complicates code maintenance. In this commit
the appended 'Name' is removed from the field selection keywords
standardizing OpenFOAM on the first convention above.
To be used instead of zeroGradientFvPatchField for temporary fields for
which zero-gradient extrapolation is use to evaluate the boundary field
but avoiding fields derived from temporary field using field algebra
inheriting the zeroGradient boundary condition by the reuse of the
temporary field storage.
zeroGradientFvPatchField should not be used as the default patch field
for any temporary fields and should be avoided for non-temporary fields
except where it is clearly appropriate;
extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField and calculatedFvPatchField are
generally more suitable defaults depending on the manner in which the
boundary values are specified or evaluated.
The entire OpenFOAM-dev code-base has been updated following the above
recommendations.

by introducing rational base-classes rather than using the hideous
'switch' statement. Further rationalization of the cell-selection
mechanism will be implemented via an appropriate class hierarchy to
replace the remaining 'switch' statement.
Mesh-motion is currently handled very inefficiently for cellSets and not
at all for inter-region coupling. The former will be improved when the
cell-selection classes are written and the latter by making the
meshToMesh class a MeshObject after it has been corrected for mapFields.
