Class Foam::functionEntries::codeDict Description Compiles and executes C++ OpenFOAM code string expressions and provides non-const access to the dictionary into which generated entries can be inserted or manipulated in any other way. \c \#codeDict reads three entries: \c code, \c codeInclude (optional), \c codeOptions (optional) to generate the library source code stored in the local \c dynamicCode directory with a subdirectory name corresponding to the SHA1 of the code. The code is then compiled into a dynamically loaded library libcodeDict_.so stored in the \c dynamicCode/platforms/$WM_OPTIONS/lib directory using 'wmake libso'. The resulting library is loaded in executed with arguments \code (dictionary& dict, Istream& is) \endcode where the dict is the current dictionary and is the stream from which the dictionary is being read. The verbatim string format \c \#{ ... \c \#} is used to allow multi-line input without the need to escape the newlines. Dictionary entries constructed with \c \#codeDict can conveniently access and use typed variables. This means calculations involving vectors and tensors and list etc. are possible. To access a variable and construct it as a given type within a \c \#codeDict entry, put the type immediately after the $ symbol inside angled brackets <>. So, $var or ${var} substitutes a variable named var as a vector. The variable values are looked-up at run-time making the code corresponding to each \c \#codeDict independent of the values in the dictionary and of each other. Hence the \c \#codeDict code does not need to be recompiled when the values in the dictionary are changed, only if the code is changed. Usage Example to set a zoneGenerator in createZonesDict: \verbatim inner { type union; // Create inner baffles along the length of the pipe #codeDict { code #{ const label nBaffles = $
