Previously, the PolicyDefault used to compile all the filters was hard-
coded. The problem was that if any external project that depends on VTK-
m needs a different policy, it had to recompile everything in its own
translation units with a custom policy.
This change allows an external project provide a simple header file that
changes the type lists used in the default policy. That allows VTK-m to
compile the filters exactly as specified by the external project.
A new header named TypeList.h and the type lists have been redefined in
this new file. All the types have been renamed from `TypeListTag*` to
`TypeList*`. TypeListTag.h has been gutted to provide deprecated
versions of the old type list names.
There were also some other type lists that were changed from using the
old `ListTagBase` to the new `List`.
The newer List operations should still work on the old ListTags, so make
those changes first to ensure that everything still works as expected if
given an old ListTag.
Next step is to deprecate ListTagBase itself and move all the lists to
the new types.
This commit adds several geometric constructs to vtk-m
in the `vtkm/Geometry.h` header. They may be used from
both the execution and control environments.
We also add methods to perform projection and Gram-Schmidt
orthonormalization to `vtkm/VectorAnalysis.h`.
See `docs/changelog/geometry.md` included in this commit
for more information.
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 two worklets for marching cubes use tables stored in arrays that
have random access. Previously, they arrays were passed using the
ExecObject tag in ControlSignature along with ExecutionWholeArrayConst.
This changes to using a WholeArrayIn tag and just passing the
ArrayHandle directly to the Invoke method. The end result is the same,
but the code is a bit cleaner.
Also reduced the maximum list size to 15 (which is the current longest
single list we have). Trying to reduce the size of the generated code a
bit, which is getting a little long.
The previous commits had TypeListTagAll containing a subset of Vec
types. This commit adds all possible vectors with 2 to 4 components
containing one of the basic C types.
Since we want our code to generally handle data of different precision
(for example either float or double) expand the types in our list types
to include multiple precision.
Previously we just hand coded base lists up to 4 entries, which was fine
for what we were using it for. However, now that we want to support base
types of different sizes, we are going to need much longer lists.
The dynamic array handle holds a reference to an array handle of an
unknown type. It contains the ability to try to cast it to an instance
of array handle or to try lists of types and containers.
There is currently an issue that is causing the test code not to
compile. It is the case that some combinations of types and containers
are not compatible. For example, an implict container is bound to a
certain type, and the container is undefined if they do not agree. There
needs to be a mechanism to detect these invalid combinations and skip
over them in the MTP for each.
Provies a list of types in a template like boost::mpl::vector and a
method to call a functor on each type. However, rather than explicitly
list each type, uses tags to identify the list. This provides the
following main advantages:
1. Can use these type lists without creating horrendously long class
names based on them, making compiler errors easier to read. For example,
you would have a typename like MyClass<TypeListTagVectors> instead of
MyClass<TypeList<Id3,Vector2,Vector3,Vector4> > (or worse if variadic
templates are not supported). This is the main motivation for this
implementation.
2. Do not require variadic templates and usually few constructions. That
should speed compile times.
There is one main disadvantage to this approach: It is difficult to get
a printed list of items in a list during an error. If necessary, it
probably would not be too hard to make a template to convert a tag to a
boost mpl vector.
