This is to be used in place of BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT so that we can
control its implementation.
The implementation is designed to fix the issue where the latest XCode
clang compiler gives a warning about a unused typedefs when the boost
static assert is used within a function. (This warning also happens when
using the C++11 static_assert keyword.) You can suppress this warning
with _Pragma commands, but _Pragma commands inside a block is not
supported in GCC. The implementation of VTKM_STATIC_ASSERT handles all
current cases.
The boost assert macros seem to have an issue where they define an
unused typedef. This is causing the XCode 7 compiler to issue a warning.
Since the offending code is in a macro, the warning is identified with
the VTK-m header even though the code is in boost. To get around this,
wrap all uses of the boost assert that is causing the warning in the
third party pre/post macros to disable the warning.
Previously, all arrays passed to worklets were designated as either
input or output. No in-place operation was permitted. This change adds
the FieldInOut tag for ControlSignature in both WorkletMapField and
WorkletMapTopology that allows you to read and write from the same
array.
Previously there was a Connectivity* structure for both the control
environment and the execution environment. This was necessary before
because the connectivity is explicit to the from and to topology
elements, so you would get this structure from the appropriate call to
CellSet*. However, the symantics are changed so that the type of
connectivity is selected in the worklet's dispatcher. Thus, it is now
much cleaner to manage the CellSet structure in the CellSet class itself
and just have a single set of Connectivity* classes in the execution
environment.
Previously, the items used to identify parts of topology like points,
cells, faces, etc. were in an enumeration. However, they are only really
used in template specialization, and it is easier to use tags in this
case. So, change the enumeration to a set of tag structures. Also made
the following changes:
* Renamed TopologyType to TopologyElement, which is more indicative of
what we are referring to.
* Moved the structures from the vtkm::cont namespace to the vtkm
namespace. There is no reason not to be able to use them from either the
control or execution environments.
* Added a VTKM_IS_TOPOLOGY_ELEMENT_TAG macro to do type checks on
template arguments that are supposed to be topology element tags.
On one of my compile platforms, GCC was giving conversion warnings from
any boost include that was not wrapped in pragmas to disable conversion
warnings. To make things easier and more robust, I created a pair of
macros, VTKM_BOOST_PRE_INCLUDE and VTKM_BOOST_POST_INCLUDE, that should
be wrapped around any #include of a boost header file.
The Invoke of the topology dispatcher is also changed to expect a
concrete cell set (which the DynamicCellSet is automatically cast to)
rather than a connectivity structure. The dispatcher calls the
GetNodeToCellConnectivity method for you. (That is currently the only
one supported.)
Previously we had accidentally bound the PrepareForInput method to upload
only to the default device adapter, which breaks the use case of allowing
multiple simultaneous backends at runtime.
A couple of tests were failing with the Intel compiler due to
imprecision in comparing floating point values.
Also snuck in some minor documentation fixes in a comment for
FunctionInterface.
It's easy to put accidently put something that is not a valid tag in a
ControlSignature or ExecutionSignature. Previously, when you did that
you got a weird error at the end of a very long template instantiation
chain that made it difficult to find the offending worklet.
This adds some type checks when the dispatcher is instantated to check
the signatures. It doesn't point directly to the signature or its
parameter, but it is much closer.
Instead of just checking that a dispatcher's Invoke input is an
ArrayHandle, also check that the ValueType of the ArrayHandle is
compatible with the types of the worklet operator. This is done by
adding a template argument to the ControlSignature tags that is a type
list tag that gets passed to the type check.
The Transport class is responsible for moving data from the control
environment to the execution environment. (Actually, it might be more
accurate to say it gets the execution environment associated with a
given control object.) The Transport class is templated with a tag that
controls the mechanism used for the transport.
