Error: Function::getValue(),getDerivative,getExpr - invalid state

[hrani]

With the latest fix/feature for function, now when created a new instance of function, getting error
as

Error: Function::getDerivative() - invalid state

Error: /m[0]/c[0]/f[0]::getExpr() - invalid parser state

Expression was :

Error: Function::getValue() - invalid state

warn: Expr is empty

Fix are pending in #405. Related to #405 but not a bug.

Duplicate of #401. Related to #401 but not a bug.

For this particular example, you can set expr to 0. Empty expression is a warning.

moose.Neutral('/m')
moose.CubeMesh('/m/c')
f = moose.Function('/m/c/f')
f.expr = '0'  # don't leave it blank.
moose.showfield(f)

When one created a new function object one can't expect to fill the values before hand.
Default values need to be filled.

Ok. The old behaviour in 3.1.5 is that if expression is not set it is 0. I'll update #405 to change this behaviour.
