This class holds a Vec and exposes some number of components. The class
is used when you need a Vec of a size that is not known at compile time
but that a maximum length of reasonable size is known.
Some changes to the Vec class and VecTraits in anticipation of creating
Vec-like objects. The following changes are made:
* Add GetNumberOfComponents to Vec, which returns NUM_COMPONENTS.
* Likewise, all VecTraits have a GetNumberOfComponents method.
* The ToVec method in VecTraits is changed to CopyInto so that it can be
used when the length of the Vec-like is not known. CopyInto is also
added to Vec.
* VecTraits has a typedef named IsSizeStatic which is set to
VecTraitsTagSizeStatic when the number of components is known at compile
time and VecTraitsTagSizeVariable when the number of components is not
known until runtime.
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.
Fix compile warnings that come up with the flags
-Wconversion -Wno-sign-conversion
This catches several instances (mostly in the testing framework) where
types are implicitly converted. I expect these changes to fix some of
the warnings we are seeing in MSVC.
I was going to add these flags to the list of extra warning flags, but
unfortunately the Thrust library has several warnings of these types,
and I don't know a good way to turn on the warnings for our code but
turn them off for Thrust.
