FabArray::isDefined (AMReX-Codes#2997)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Summary

Add a new query to `define_function_called`.

## Additional background

This is a cheaper check than `ok()` for finding out if a MultiFab has
been allocated or not yet, assuming that the calling code follows the
convention that `define()` is called collectively.

Update: It turns out you can also call `empty` inherited from
`FabArrayBase`. The new API is quite explicit, which is ok, too.
