Summary0002933: getApplication error when #calc invoked in functions sub-dict of system/controlDict
DescriptionWhilst trying to automate calculation of some entries in system/singleGraph, I encountered an error: getApplication was returning additional information above and beyond the solver name (from system/controlDict).

(NB: I've used the basic/potentialFoam/cylinder tutorial to show this problem. I've added #includeFunc singleGraph to the functions sub-dict of system/controlDict, and added the singleGraph file attached here.)

In particular, it looks like getApplication is collecting some dynamicCode information and outputting that information as well:

>$ getApplication
Using #calcEntry at line 15 in file "/usr/local/users/samuel/projects/cylinder/system/singleGraph"
Using #codeStream with "/usr/local/users/samuel/projects/cylinder/dynamicCode/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/libcodeStream_31aa3d3b040ff7ed8df473c1eff90daf9849c7cf.so"
potentialFoam

When Allrun is called, I get the following error:

r$ ./Allrun
    ln: ./lnInclude
Running blockMesh on /usr/local/users/samuel/projects/cylinder
Running Using on /usr/local/users/samuel/projects/cylinder
Running postProcess on /usr/local/users/samuel/projects/cylinder

That is, the return from getApplication, "Using #calcEntry at...", is not what is required.

Workaround: change the definition of application inside Allrun:

application=`getApplication | tail -n 1`

This cuts all but the last line from the return, which is just the name of the application (as require). However, this is a bit messy, so I thought you'd want to make a nice fix.
Steps To Reproduce1. copy tutorial basic/potentialFoam/cylinder to <some-location>
2. add attached file singleGraph to system directory
3. edit system/controlDict and add #includeFunc singleGraph to the functions sub-dict
4. ./Allrun
5. for the workaround, download Allrun1 (attached) and then ./Allrun1
Additional InformationThis error only seems to occur for OF-dev commits https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/commit/984c4a2b518e2022f2eda534a1949c18728e33bc and later.

Prior to that, getApplication was defined as a sed command:

getApplication()
{
    sed -ne 's/^ *application\s*\([a-zA-Z]*\)\s*;.*$/\1/p' system/controlDict
}

Now, getApplication invokes foamDictionary (see https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/blob/master/bin/tools/RunFunctions):

getApplication()
{
    foamDictionary -entry application -value system/controlDict
}

Try

getApplication()
{
    foamDictionary -disableFunctionEntries -entry application -value system/controlDict
}
