Hi FOAMers
Can any one tell me "tmp< T >" class is for what?
It seems it is "A class for managing temporary objects." but can any one explain for me what is difference between
const GeometricField< Type, fvsPatchField, surfaceMesh >
and
const tmp< GeometricField< Type, fvsPatchField, surfaceMesh > >
Any help will be appreciated
Best regards

Ata

tmp is used for returning *local variables* without copying. You can't pass a reference because the data it points to is going out of scope. There's an article on the wiki here:
