The version of `Filter::Execute` that takes a policy as an argument is now
deprecated. Filters are now able to specify their own fields and types,
which is often why you want to customize the policy for an execution. The
other reason is that you are compiling VTK-m into some other source that
uses a particular types of storage. However, there is now a mechanism in
the CMake configuration to allow you to provide a header that customizes
the "default" types used in filters. This is a much more convenient way to
compile filters for specific types.
One thing that filters were not able to do was to customize what cell sets
they allowed using. This allows filters to self-select what types of cell
sets they support (beyond simply just structured or unstructured). To
support this, the lists `SupportedCellSets`, `SupportedStructuredCellSets`,
and `SupportedUnstructuredCellSets` have been added to `Filter`. When you
apply a policy to a cell set, you now have to also provide the filter.

Previously, all the ApplyPolicy functions had the same name and used
template resolution to figure out which one to use. This was pretty
clear at first when there was just one for fields and one for cell sets.
But then it grew to several different types, particularly for fields. It
was hard to look at the code and figure out which form of ApplyPolicy
was being used, and compilers were starting to get confused.
Resolve the problem by giving all the methods unique names to make it
clear which one you expect to be called.
By removing the ability to have multiple CellSets in a DataSet
we can simplify the following things:
- Cell Fields now don't require a CellSet name when being constructed
- Filters don't need to manage what the active cellset is
To help provide a better time writing VTK-m filter this streamlines
the CreateResult API to provide a focused set of methods, based on
how CreateResult has been used by existing filters.
Now that the dispatcher does its own TryExecute, filters do not need to
do that. This change requires all worklets called by filters to be able
to execute without knowing the device a priori.
This commit removes `vtkm::filter::Result`. All methods that used
`vtkm::filter::Result` simply change to use `vtkm::cont::Dataset` instead.
The utility API on `Result` that was used to add fields to the resulting
dataset is now available via `vtkm::filter::internal::CreateResult`.
Sandia National Laboratories recently changed management from the
Sandia Corporation to the National Technology & Engineering Solutions
of Sandia, LLC (NTESS). The copyright statements need to be updated
accordingly.
VTK expects that the tensor fields generated by the gradient of a vector field
to have FORTRAN ordering instead of C ordering.
Discovering this actually uncovered bugs in the Vorticity and QCriterion
implementation where they presumed FORTRAN ordering, and would generate
incorrect results.
Basically we can run the gradient worklet and compute the Divergence, Vorticity,
and QCriterion without ever having to store the gradient tensor in global memory
The gradient worklet is now templated on the input value type. This simplifies
the logic of the gradient. Secondly we have added a Run method for the
first step of making gradient a 'fatter' worklet that can handle generation
of vorticity, Divergence, and QCriterion.
For some reason when VTK-m was being compiled as an accelerator in VTK,
Visual Studio 2013 gave a bunch of warnings about not being able to generate
assignment operators for many classes. This happened for classes with a
const ivar that could not be automatically set. (Automatic copy constructors
are fine on this count.) I'm not sure why these warnings did not happen
when just compiling VTK-m, nor am I sure why they were generated at all as
no code actually used the copy constructors.
This commit fixes the problems by adding a private declaration for assignment
operators that cannot be automatically created. No implementation is
provided, nor should any be needed.
