Cell operations like interpolate and finding parametric coordinates can
fail under certain conditions. Typically these call RaiseError on the
worklet. But that can make a worklet unstable, so provide paths where no
error is raised.
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.
The shape array in CellSetExplicit was changed a while ago to be of type
vtkm::UInt8. However, the shape types remained at vtkm::IdComponent. I
can think of no reason why they should not be the same type.
Change the VTKM_CONT_EXPORT to VTKM_CONT. (Likewise for EXEC and
EXEC_CONT.) Remove the inline from these macros so that they can be
applied to everything, including implementations in a library.
Because inline is not declared in these modifies, you have to add the
keyword to functions and methods where the implementation is not inlined
in the class.
Previously, all Fetch objects received an Invocation object in their
Load and Store methods. The point of this was that it allowed the Fetch
to get data from any of the execution objects. However, every Fetch
either just got data directly from its associated execution object or
else used a secondary execution object (the input domain) to get indices
into their own execution object.
This left two potential areas for improvement. First, pulling data out
of the Invocation object was unnecessarily complicated. It would be much
nicer to get data directly from the associated execution object. Second,
when getting index information from the input domain, it was often the
case that extra computations were necessary (particularly on structured
cell sets). There was no way to share the index information among
Fetches, and therefore the computations were replicated.
This change removes the Invocation from the Fetch Load and Store.
Instead, it passes the associated execution object and a new object type
called the ThreadIndices. The ThreadIndices are customized for the input
domain and therefore have all the information needed for a redirected
lookup. It is also a thread-local object so it can cache computed
indices and save on computation time.
This is to be used in place of BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT so that we can
control its implementation.
The implementation is designed to fix the issue where the latest XCode
clang compiler gives a warning about a unused typedefs when the boost
static assert is used within a function. (This warning also happens when
using the C++11 static_assert keyword.) You can suppress this warning
with _Pragma commands, but _Pragma commands inside a block is not
supported in GCC. The implementation of VTKM_STATIC_ASSERT handles all
current cases.
The boost assert macros seem to have an issue where they define an
unused typedef. This is causing the XCode 7 compiler to issue a warning.
Since the offending code is in a macro, the warning is identified with
the VTK-m header even though the code is in boost. To get around this,
wrap all uses of the boost assert that is causing the warning in the
third party pre/post macros to disable the warning.
These cell types are inherited from VTK, but they are basically the same
as quad and hexahedron, respectively. The only useful difference is that
pixel and voxel are supposed to be axis aligned, but you cannot
determine that by the cell shape alone (at least not just from the cell
set).
A big issue with these is that their indexing is different that of quad
and hex. The development team had a long discussion about the benefits
of the alternate indexing, but after consulting with Berk Geveci and
Will Schroder from the VTK team, that indexing is not really taken
advantage of at the cell level. Thus, it is really just a nuisance in
VTK-m.
We have been using the term "shape" in the cell set and connectivity
classes. To be consistent, use the term "shape" for the geometric
identify of the cell everywhere.
