Consumers of VTK-m when enabling of dropping of unused functions
will see VTK-m functions dropped. Previously this didn't happen
as VTK-m didn't build object files with the correct flags for this.
By allowing the linker to remove unused symbols we see a significant
saving the file size of VTK-m tests, examples, and benchmarks.
An OpenMP build of the tests and benchmarks goes from 168MB to
141MB which is roughly a 16% filesize reduction.
Initially I had presumed that these changes would increase link times.
But in measurements the total wall time for compilation of VTK-m has
stayed about the same ( seeing a decrease of 1.5% ). Presumably the
increased computation is offset by the reduction in file writing.
Instead of having to be called for each target you can now
pass multiple targets at once. Do note that if you pass multiple
targets you will need to pass all the sources from those targets
that need to be 'device' compiled.
This is a library that contains parts of worklets that can be
precompiled into a library.
Currently, this library contains the implementation of ScatterCounting.
Also
- Renamed vtkm::cont::make_DeviceAdapterIdFromName to just overload
make_DeviceAdapterId.
- Refactored CMake logic for unit tests
- Since we're now querying the device tracker for the names, they
cannot be all caps.
- Updated usages of InitLogging to use Initialize instead.
- Added changelog.
CMake 3.12 introduces a ...<max> syntax in the version given to
cmake_minimum_required to automatically set policies to NEW up
to that version. Use it to avoid listing policies explicitly.
