We resort to consistently use unique_ptrs in EclBaseVanguard for
the data read from ECL files or set externally. This means that
during the simulation EclBaseVanguard owns this data and not Main
or the ebos setup functions. This ownership transfer becomes
transparent due to std::move.
This came up when trying to fix the parallel runs of ebos and during
that removing some code duplication.
`mebos` works similarly as `flow`, but in contrast to `flow`, `mebos`
only creates the deck in the common code path whilst the
'EclipseState' and the other higher-level parser objects are always
created internally by the vanguard. this approach avoids code
duplication and the worst effects of parser API creep.
to avoid having to compile non-trivial compile units multiple times,
the actual code of the variants is moved into `ebos_$VARIANT.{hh,cc}`
files and the respective compile units are each put into a small
static library whilst the main function of said libraries are invoked
by either the multiplexed or the respective specialized simulator's
`main()`. This is also somewhat similar of how `flow` works, with the
difference that `mebos` uses the blackoil variant to determine the
parameters it needs to know for parsing the deck instead of
introducing a "fake" type tag for this. The rationale is to reduce
compile time compared to the "fake type tag" approach and -- to a
lesser extend -- avoid unnecessary copy-and-pasting of code. In
particular, this means that for the vast majority of cases, only one
place needs changed in the code for all `ebos` variants if, for
example, the parser API requires further objects in the future.
these variants should cover most of the common use cases. That said,
there are no plans to provide simulators for combinations of blackoil
extensions or a "multiplexing" simulator like `flow`: If someone is
interested in e.g., an oil-water simulator with polymer and energy
enabled, a separate self-compiled executable should be added locally.
