- use an IndirectListBase class for various indirect list types.
- new SortList type
In some places the SortList can be used as a lightweight alternative
to SortableList to have the convenience of bundling data and sort
indices together, but while operating on existing data lists.
In other situations, it can be useful as an alternative to
sortedOrder. For example,
pointField points = ...;
labelList order;
sortedOrder(points, order);
forAll(order, i)
{
points[order[i]] = ...;
}
Can be replaced with the following (with the same memory overhead)
pointField points = ...;
SortList<point> sortedPoints(points);
for (point& pt : sortedPoints)
{
pt = ...;
}
- new SliceList type (#1220), which can be used for stride-based
addressing into existing lists
