The `vtkm_unit_tests` function in the CMake build now allows you to specify
which files need to be compiled with a device compiler using the
`DEVICE_SOURCES` argument. Previously, the only way to specify that unit
tests needed to be compiled with a device compiler was to use the
`ALL_BACKENDS` argument, which would automatically compile everything with
the device compiler as well as test the code on all backends.
`ALL_BACKENDS` is still supported, but it no longer changes the sources to
be compiled with the device compiler.
In pretty much any practical circumstance, whenusing `ListAll` or
`ListAny`, you have a list of types on which you run some sort of
predicate on each item in the list to determine whether any or all of
the items match the predicate. To make this easier, add a second
argument to `ListAll` and `ListAny` to provide a predicate that will
automatically be added.
If no predicate is given, then the operation is run directly on the
list. This is implemented by just using an identity operation.
GCC 11 is having trouble compiling brigand.hpp at all, even before we
instantiate any templates. Since we no longer need it, let's get rid of
it. It was always placed in an internal namespace.
Add deprecation warnings to the code whenever someone uses brigand.hpp.
We are no longer supporting this header file, but we'll give code a
chance to transition off of it.
Also added some other deprecation warnings to other header files that
are themselves deprecated but only issued warnings if you used something
in it.
These new features to VTK-m lists allow you to compute a single value
from a list. `ListReduce` allows you to compute a value based on a
predicate. `ListAll` and `ListAny` use this feature to determine if all
or any of a list of `true_type` or `false_type` objects are true.
The previous implementation of `ListAt` would iteratively pass through
the list to find the i'th entry. It was made faster by searching through
8 indices at a time, but it could still be time consuming for long
lists.
This change instead uses a divide-and-conquer approach. It does this by
first creating a `vtkm::List` with i repetitions of `const void*`. It
can do this by recursively splitting i in half and appending the
resulting lists together.
It then uses this list of `const void*` by constructing a method that
first takes these i `const void*` arguments, then a pointer, then
whatever. The method returns the type of that pointer. The method is
never actually defined, but a `declspec` can determine what the return
type should be.
This method was taken from brigand
(https://github.com/edouarda/brigand).
Added specializations of `vtkm::VecTraits` for the simple structures of
`vtkm::Range` and `vtkm::Bounds`. This expands the support for using
these structures in things like `ArrayHandle` and `UnknownArrayHandle`.
Some of the unit tests for serial and kokkos are disable for hipcc to
properly compile.
VTKM_MATH_ASSERT and VTKM_TEST_ASSERT fail to compile with HIP in
execution environment so they are disabled with building with HIP.
Kokkos::finalize is causing error so it is temporarily disabled.
Some functions are supposed to behave correctly when given a NaN. This
might only be valid if floation point exceptions are not trapped, so
disable trapping for these tests.
Some simulations trap floating point exceptions to ensure that their
code is working correctly, and we want VTK-m to work correctly in their
code. To check this, we want to turn on floating point exception
trapping in our test code. This is very implementation-specific, so for
now we are just turning it on for GCC. This will at least alert a
problem on some of the dashboards.
`std::is_trivial` is part of the C++14 specification. However, we have
encountered multiple compilers that purport to implement C++14 but do
not implement `std::is_trivial` and the like checks correctly.
To avoid such issues, only use `std::is_trivial` on compilers that we
have tested to support it.
The base C types have several "duplicate" types that the compiler
considers different even though the byte representation is the same. For
example, `char` and `signed char` have the same meaning but are treated
as different types. Likewise, 'long', 'int', and 'long long' are all
different types even though 'long' is the same as either 'int' or 'long
long'.
When pulling extracted components from `UnknownArrayHandle`, there is
little value for creating multiple code paths for types like `char` and
`signed char`. Instead, allow implicit conversion among these types.
The primary purpose of `ArrayHandleRecombineVec` is to take arrays
returned from `ArrayExtractComponent` and recombine them again into a
single `ArrayHandle` that has `Vec` values.
Some of the `test_equal` functions return a `TestEqualResult`
instead of a `bool` to capture more information about what
the error was. Unfortunately, using this was awkward because
you couldn't just call the `test_equal_*` inside of a
`VTKM_TEST_ASSERT`. Rather, you would have to do the comparison
and then check it.
This change adds an overload to `VTKM_TEST_ASSERT` that specifically
takes a `TestEqualResult`, checks its condition, and prints out
the contained messages. Thus, your command can just look like
`VTKM_TEST_ASSERT(test_equal_ArrayHandles(...));` and it will
provide the additional information.
`vtkm::VecFlat` is a wrapper around a `Vec`-like class that may be a
nested series of vectors. For example, if you run a gradient operation
on a vector field, you are probably going to get a `Vec` of `Vec`s that
looks something like `vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Float32, 3>, 3>`. That
is fine, but what if you want to treat the result simply as a `Vec` of
size 9?
The `VecFlat` wrapper class allows you to do this. Simply place the
nested `Vec` as an argument to `VecFlat` and it will behave as a flat
`Vec` class. (In fact, `VecFlat` is a subclass of `Vec`.) The `VecFlat`
class can be copied to and from the nested `Vec` it is wrapping.
There is a `vtkm::make_VecFlat` convenience function that takes an
object and returns a `vtkm::VecFlat` wrapped around it.
C++ template considers some types different even though they have the
exact same format. For example `int`, `long`, and `long long` all match
different types even though they all represent either signed 32-bit ints
or signed 64-bit ints.
List all these possible types in
`TypeListScalarAll`.

The old atomic compare and swap operations (`vtkm::AtomicCompareAndSwap`
and `vtkm::exec::AtomicArrayExecutionObject::CompareAndSwap`) had an
order of arguments that was confusing. The order of the arguments was
shared pointer (or index), desired value, expected value. Most people
probably assume expected value comes before desired value. And this
order conflicts with the order in the `std` methods, GCC atomics, and
Kokkos.
Change the interface of atomic operations to be patterned off the
`std::atomic_compare_exchange` and `std::atomic<T>::compare_exchange`
methods. First, these methods have a more intuitive order of parameters
(shared pointer, expected, desired). Second, rather than take a value
for the expected and return the actual old value, they take a pointer to
the expected value (or reference in `AtomicArrayExecutionObject`) and
modify this value in the case that it does not match the actual value.
This makes it harder to mix up the expected and desired parameters.
Also, because the methods return a bool indicating whether the value was
changed, there is an additional benefit that compare-exchange loops are
implemented easier.
For example, consider you want to apply the function `MyOp` on a
`sharedValue` atomically. With the old interface, you would have to do
something like this.
```cpp
T oldValue;
T newValue;
do
{
oldValue = *sharedValue;
newValue = MyOp(oldValue);
} while (vtkm::AtomicCompareAndSwap(sharedValue, newValue, oldValue) != oldValue);
```
With the new interface, this is simplfied to this.
```cpp
T oldValue = *sharedValue;
while (!vtkm::AtomicCompareExchange(sharedValue, &oldValue, MyOp(oldValue));
```
Now that we have the functions in `vtkm/Atomic.h`, we can deprecate (and
eventually remove) the more cumbersome classes `AtomicInterfaceControl`
and `AtomicInterfaceExecution`.
Also reversed the order of the `expected` and `desired` parameters of
`vtkm::AtomicCompareAndSwap`. I think the former order makes more sense
and matches more other implementations (such as `std::atomic` and the
GCC `__atomic` built ins). However, there are still some non-deprecated
classes with similar methods that cannot easily be switched. Thus, it's
better to be inconsistent with most other libraries and consistent with
ourself than to be inconsitent with ourself.
Previously, all atomic functions were stored in classes named
`AtomicInterfaceControl` and `AtomicInterfaceExecution`, which required
you to know at compile time which device was using the methods. That in
turn means that anything using an atomic needed to be templated on the
device it is running on.
That can be a big hassle (and is problematic for some code structure).
Instead, these methods are moved to free functions in the `vtkm`
namespace. These functions operate like those in `Math.h`. Using
compiler directives, an appropriate version of the function is compiled
for the current device the compiler is using.
Some of the code in the base `vtkm` namespace is device specific. For
example, the functions in `Math.h` are customized for specific devices.
Thus, we want this code to be specially compiled and run on these
devices.
Previously, we made a header file and then added separate tests to each
device package. That was created before we had ways of running on any
device. Now, it is much easier to compile the test a single time for all
devices and use the `ALL_BACKENDS` feature of `vtkm_unit_tests` CMake
function to automatically create the test for all devices.
We have made several improvements to adding data into an `ArrayHandle`.
## Moving data from an `std::vector`
For numerous reasons, it is convenient to define data in a `std::vector`
and then wrap that into an `ArrayHandle`. It is often the case that an
`std::vector` is filled and then becomes unused once it is converted to an
`ArrayHandle`. In this case, what we really want is to pass the data off to
the `ArrayHandle` so that the `ArrayHandle` is now managing the data and
not the `std::vector`.
C++11 has a mechanism to do this: move semantics. You can now pass
variables to functions as an "rvalue" (right-hand value). When something is
passed as an rvalue, it can pull state out of that variable and move it
somewhere else. `std::vector` implements this movement so that an rvalue
can be moved to another `std::vector` without actually copying the data.
`make_ArrayHandle` now also takes advantage of this feature to move rvalue
`std::vector`s.
There is a special form of `make_ArrayHandle` named `make_ArrayHandleMove`
that takes an rvalue. There is also a special overload of
`make_ArrayHandle` itself that handles an rvalue `vector`. (However, using
the explicit move version is better if you want to make sure the data is
actually moved.)
## Make `ArrayHandle` from initalizer list
A common use case for using `std::vector` (particularly in our unit tests)
is to quickly add an initalizer list into an `ArrayHandle`. Now you can
by simply passing an initializer list to `make_ArrayHandle`.
## Deprecated `make_ArrayHandle` with default shallow copy
For historical reasons, passing an `std::vector` or a pointer to
`make_ArrayHandle` does a shallow copy (i.e. `CopyFlag` defaults to `Off`).
Although more efficient, this mode is inherintly unsafe, and making it the
default is asking for trouble.
To combat this, calling `make_ArrayHandle` without a copy flag is
deprecated. In this way, if you wish to do the faster but more unsafe
creation of an `ArrayHandle` you should explicitly express that.
This requried quite a few changes through the VTK-m source (particularly in
the tests).
## Similar changes to `Field`
`vtkm::cont::Field` has a `make_Field` helper function that is similar to
`make_ArrayHandle`. It also features the ability to create fields from
`std::vector`s and C arrays. It also likewise had the same unsafe behavior
by default of not copying from the source of the arrays.
That behavior has similarly been depreciated. You now have to specify a
copy flag.
The ability to construct a `Field` from an initializer list of values has
also been added.
