We had a report that vtkm::Min/Max was significantly slower than other
products. This was traced back to the fact that these functions were not
completely inlining because they were calling fmin or fmax, and that
resulted in an actual C library call. It turns out using the templated
functions in the std namespace is faster.
This change has the VTK-m min/max functions use the std version in
almost all circumstances. The one exception (so far) is that fmin and
fmax are used for CUDA devices since the std functions are not declared
to run on the device and the nvcc compiler treats these functions
special.
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 VTKM_MSVC is just defined if using MSVC. It is not set to any value.
There was a reference in Math.h that assumed it was set to true, which
it was not. This simple change should fix that.
Also fix some issues that caused the compile to fail when trying to
run some of the math functions on a CUDA device. In particular, CUDA
is picky about using a global const on a device when the const type is
not one of the basic C types.
