The ExecObject tag for the ControlSignature was not declared right so
would cause a compile error if it was ever used. Clearly this was not
being tested properly, so the dispatcher base unit test now passes an
ExecObject parameter.
Previously, DispatcherBase had an ivar to determine whether to use the
numInstances passed on the stack or to use a 3D range held in a
different ivar. This change allows either a 1D range or 3D range to be
passed on the stack, which I expect to be closer to how we we handle
this when 3D ranges are fully supported.
This also fixes a bug introduced with commit
fdac208acbfa47b613d899a36cefc32a01e8f0a8 where the Use3DSchedule ivar
was not set correctly in UnitTestDispatcherBase.
The functors in the ForEach, StaticTransform, and DynamicTransform
methods sometimes can use the index of the parameter that they are
operating on. This can be a helpful diagnostic in compile and run-time
errors. It is also helpful when linking parameters from one
FunctionInterface with those of another.
This new features are now replacing implementations using the Zip
functionality that was removed earlier. The implementation is actually
simplified a bit.
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.
These changes support the implementation of DispatcherBase. This class
provides the basic functionality for calling an Invoke method in the
control environment, transferring data to the execution environment,
scheduling threads in the execution environment, pulling data for each
calling of the worklet method, and actually calling the worklet.
