Gridap.Helpers

This module provides a set of helper macros and helper functions

The exported macros are:

• GridapType
• @abstractmethod
• @check
• first_and_tail
• get_val_parameter
• @notimplemented
• @notimplementedif
• tfill
• @unreachable

abstract type GridapType end

first_and_tail(a::Tuple)

Equivalent to (first(a), Base.tail(a)).

get_val_parameter(::Val{T}) where T
get_val_parameter(::Type{Val{T}}) where T

Returns T.

tfill(v, ::Val{D}) where D

Returns a tuple of length D that contains D times the object v. In contrast to tuple(fill(v,D)...) which returns the same result, this function is type-stable.

@abstractmethod

Macro used in generic functions that must be overloaded by derived types.

@check condition @check condition "Error message"

Macro used to make sure that condition is fulfilled, like @assert but the check gets deactivated when running Julia with –boundscheck=no

@notimplemented
@notimplemented "Error message"

Macro used to raise an error, when something is not implemented.

@notimplementedif condition
@notimplementedif condition "Error message"

Macro used to raise an error if the condition is true

@unreachable
@unreachable "Error message"

Macro used to make sure that a line of code is never reached.
