Dear OFers!

Hope all is good. I'm getting an error when using the uniformSet from components construct that should take 7 arguments. I'm using OF 2.3.0.

createFields.H:672:5: error: no matching function for call to ‘Foam::uniformSet::uniformSet(const char [15], Foam::fvMesh&, Foam::meshSearch, const char [9], Foam::point, Foam::point, int)’
     );
     ^

I know that there's a dictionary construct that takes 4 arguments. And that gives me the reverse error.

createFields.H:672:5: error: no matching function for call to ‘Foam::uniformSet::uniformSet(const char [15], Foam::fvMesh&, Foam::meshSearch, const char [9])’
     );

So, which constructor should I use?

Best,

Hi,

Maybe you can also post how you are calling constructor (i.e. part of createFields.H)? In both cases you have posted, the third argument causes error. So the question is how do you pass that third argument.

Hello again,
You're right, Alexey, meshSearch(mesh), seems to be the problem but how to fix it...

uniformSet line
    (
        "jcLine,  
        mesh,  
        meshSearch(mesh), 
        "axis"
        point(5e-5, 0, 2.5e-5),  // start point
        point(5e-5, 5e-5, 2.5e-5),  // end point
        20  // density of points on the line
    );

Hi,

Is it a problem of copy-paste or there is really no closing quote after jcLine? Also I did not find comma after "axis" in your snippet.

You can surely try to create object meshSearch myLovelyMesh(mesh) and then pass it to uniformSet constructor instead of creating object on the fly. I.e. your code should be something like:

    meshSearch myLovelyMeshSearch(mesh);
    uniformSet line
    (
        "jcLine",
        mesh,
        myLovelyMeshSearch,
        "axis",
        point(5e-5, 0, 2.5e-5),  // start point
        point(5e-5, 5e-5, 2.5e-5),  // end point
        20  // density of points on the line
    );

What compiler/OS do you use? I have tested constructor with clang-7.0.0/Darwin, gcc-5.1.1/Linux and everything compiles quite fine.

my bad, I missed the closing quote but yeah, was actually missing the comma on line 4 as I had commented the remaining 3 arguments out but forgot to include it when I uncommented.

And thanks, your suggestion worked like a charm.

I'm using Ubuntu 4.2. and gcc-4.8, g++-4.8.
