There were several places in the code that had to check the type of an
`UnknownArrayHandle` and conditionally get or copy that array. This code
is simplified by using `ArrayCopyShallowIfPossible`.
`VaraintArrayHandle` has been replaced by `UnknownArrayHandle` and
`UncertainArrayHandle`. Officially make it deprecated and point users to
the new implementations.
There was an error that caused deprecation warnings in VTK-m to be
suppressed, which meant that many uses of deprecated features went
unnoticed. This fixes those deprecation warnings.
The majority of the warnings were caused by the use of the deprecated
`Cast`, `CopyTo`, and `ResetTypes` methods of `UnknownArrayHandle` (or
`VariantArrayHandle`). Both `Cast` and `CopyTo` have been subsumed by
`AsArrayHandle` (to make the functionality more clear). `ResetTypes` now
requires a second template argument to define the storage types to try.
Also fixed some issues with `SerializableField` being deprecated.
This class is no longer necessary because `Field` can now be directly
serialized.
The `VariantArrayHandle` will soon be deprecated for its replacement of
`UnknownArrayHandle`. Thus, `Field` and related classes should start
using the new `UnknownArrayHandle`.
As we remove more and more virtual methods from VTK-m, I expect several
users will be interested in completely removing them from the build for
several reasons.
1. They may be compiling for hardware that does not support virtual
methods.
2. They may need to compile for CUDA but need shared libraries.
3. It should go a bit faster.
To enable this, a CMake option named `VTKm_NO_DEPRECATED_VIRTUAL` is
added. It defaults to `OFF`. But when it is `ON`, none of the code that
both uses virtuals and is deprecated will be built.
Currently, only `ArrayHandleVirtual` is deprecated, so the rest of the
virtual classes will still be built. As we move forward, more will be
removed until all virtual method functionality is removed.
`CoordinateSystem` differed from `Field` in that its `GetData`
method returned an `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates` instead of
a `VariantArrayHandle`. This is probably confusing since
`CoordianteSystem` inherits `Field` and has a pretty dramatic
difference in this behavior.
In preparation to deprecate `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates`, this
changes `CoordiantSystem` to be much more like `Field`. (In the
future, we may change the `CoordinateSystem` to point to a `Field`
rather than be a special `Field`.)
A method named `GetDataAsMultiplexer` has been added to
`CoordinateSystem`. This method allows you to get data from
`CoordinateSystem` as a single array type without worrying
about creating functors to handle different types and without
needing virtual methods.
Marked the old versions of PrepareFor* that do not use tokens as
deprecated and moved all of the code to use the new versions that
require a token. This makes the scope of the execution object more
explicit so that it will be kept while in use and can potentially be
reclaimed afterward.
The Invoker is a control side object that handles the construction
of the relevant worklet dispatcher. Moving it to control makes it
obvious that it isn't an algorithm itself but a way to launch
worklets.
