Handle 1D arrays with Field API + add options to fieldType.py generator #19

Closed pmarguinaud closed 8 months ago

pmarguinaud commented 8 months ago

The purpose of this branch is to add Field API classes for 1D arrays. These classes are similar to exising classes, except that :

1D Field classes do not have the GET_VIEW method
no 1D array class exist
1D Field classes have no corresponding gang class
1D Field classes cannot be gathered/scattered with the existing gather/scatter object

Some extra attributes have been added to the fieldType object:

ganged : can this class be part of a gang
hasView : does this class have the GET_VIEW method

The fieldType generator has been added three extra arguments:

ganged (True/False), if set keep only classes with matching attribute
hasView (True/False), if set keep only classes with matching attribute
alias (True/False), if set keep only classes with matching attribute
