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.
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.
Instead of having two separate implementations of MarchingCubes, we have
a single implementation in worklet, and filter uses that.
That does mean that the version in worklet has been updated to support
merging of duplicate point coordinates.
VTK-m style guidelines dictate that all classes part of the API should
be in their own header file. Thus, we have moved the result classes out
of the filter header files and into their own headers.
We have also renamed these clases to ResultField and ResultDataSet to
better match the class naming conventions of VTK-m.
Since we are moving around these result classes, we have also revamped
their structure. They are now in a hierarchy with a common ResultBase
class. Additionally, all result classes have a reference to a complete
DataSet that can be considered the output of the filter. This will make
it easier for users to consistently deal with filter results.
These changes cover issues #60 and #62.
The base classes for all the filters are named with 'Filter' at the end.
Generally the convention in VTK-m is to place the most general
descriptor (in this case Filter) first, which makes it easier to find
items in ordered lists.
This commit resolves issue #59.
When the number of parameters to a worklet hits 6+ like the EdgeGenerate
worklet did, the compile times when some of those parameters are dynamic array
handle is very bad.
For example when building the MarchingCubes filter for VTK integration the
EdgeGenerate worklet would take 800+ seconds to compile, but when we switch
it to have fewer arguments the compile time comes down to ~250sec.
