- can use UList signature since the routines do not resize the list
  or attempt to broadcast it: useful for SubList handling.

ENH: add IPstream/OPstream send/recv static methods

STYLE: use Foam::zero{} in expression parsers

ensight cloud functionObject

See merge request !666

- related to issue #3095

- related to issue #3095. Some type of geometry is required when
  loading "measured" ensight data.

ENH: emit a fallback geometry-box for foamToEnsight

- eg, with "foamToEnsight -no-internal -no-boundary" and lagrangian

- more explicit/transparent handling
- avoids compiler warnings about non-virtual methods

- process the contents of the cloud object registry, which enables
  output support for calculated values such as Reynolds, Weber numbers
  etc.

ENH: select any/all clouds by default instead of defaultCloud

- adds robustness

Remove obsolete Pstream functions

See merge request !664

- the old Pstream::scatter routines (which were largely a misnomer)
  have been superseded by various broadcast routines, but were left in
  the code with #ifndef/#ifdef Foam_Pstream_scatter_nobroadcast
  guards. Now noisily deprecate them, and remove the old manual tree
  communication in favour of MPI broadcast and/or
  serialize/de-serialize with wrapped Pstream::broadcast

- consolidate various gather methods to include the communication
  structure directly. No functional change, but reduces the number of
  methods.

ENH: add parallel guard to UPstream::whichCommunication() method

- returns List::null() as the schedule for non-parallel instead
  of an inappropriate linear or tree schedule

ENH: Pstream::listGatherValues, Pstream::listScatterValues

- like the existing UPstream versions but supporting non-contiguous

STYLE: use nullObject for return values of NotImplemented

STYLE: shallowCopy(nullptr) shortcut

FIX: replaced temp internalField with DimensionedField::null (fixes #3082)

See merge request !662

ENH: mapped: keep coupling info. Fixes #3090

See merge request !659

Use factory Clone for patch fields

See merge request !660

- regression introduced by e98acdc4

  Affected versions: (v2206, v2212, v2306, v2312)

- range(proci) instead of localStart(proci), localSize(proci) combination.
  * does the same thing, can be used directly with various other
    routines for slicing etc.

    Eg,
       Foam::identity(globalNumbering.range(myProci))

- globalIndex::calcOffset() instead of constructing a globalIndex and
  taking the localStart(). Avoids intermediate resizing and storing of
  an offsets table (which is then discarded) as well as the subsequent
  lookup into that table

- use foamListTimes instead of hard-coded time to track the
  redistribution point. Still slightly fragile...

- in singleCellMesh application:
  also remove the interpolated fields from the registry,
  which ensures they are correctly updated between time steps

- aligns with GeometricField usage etc

- creates an IOobject at the current time instance (timeName) with
  NO_READ/NO_WRITE/NO_REGISTER characteristics.
  This generalises and replaces the Cloud fieldIOobject() to simplify
  some common use.

  // Shorter version (new):
      volScalarField fld
      (
          mesh.newIOobject(name),
         ...
      );

  // Longer version:
      volScalarField fld
      (
          IOobject
          (
              name,
              mesh.time().timeName(),
              mesh,
              IOobject::NO_READ,
              IOobject::NO_WRITE
              IOobject::NO_REGISTER
           ),
           ...
      );

- can be useful when using memory-based streams for buffering,
  in which case the name() can be used to specify the filesystem
  location instead of the default stream names ("input", "output").

Code adjustments to avoid gcc-13 warnings about dangling references

factory Clone method for handling member clone() methods

See merge request !658

Mark OLESEN authored 1 year ago and Andrew Heather committed 1 year ago

- makes for more consistent coding

STYLE: use two-parameter clone when making a copy of patch fields
