It is very easy to cause ODR violations with DeviceAdapterTagCuda.
If you include that header from a C++ file and a CUDA file inside
the same program we an ODR violation. The reasons is that the C++
versions will say the tag is invalid, and the CUDA will say the
tag is valid.
The solution to this is that any compilation unit that includes
DeviceAdapterTagCuda from a version of VTK-m that has CUDA enabled
must be invoked by the cuda compiler.
Mask objects allow you to specify which output values should be
generated when a worklet is run. That is, the Mask allows you to skip
the invocation of a worklet for any number of outputs.
`vtkm::cont::testing` now initializes with logging enabled and support
for device being passed on the command line, `vtkm::testing` only
enables logging.
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.
Redesigns the TBB and Serial backends and the vtkm::exec::Task concept so that
we can re-use the same launching logic for all Worklets, instead of generating
per worlet code. To keep the performance the same the TilingTask now is past
a range of indices to work on, rather than a single index.

Previously WorkletInvokeFunctor inherited from vtkm::exec::FunctorBase,
which is also the base class for all users Worklets and for all functors
based to DeviceAdapter::Schedule.
This is done for a few reasons. The first is that we reduce the
minimum size of user worklets. Previously the users worklet would hold
a reference to the error message, and so would the wrapper class added
when calling DeviceAdapter::Schedule. Now we only have the users worklet
holding a reference.
Second, by refactoring to have two base classes we can better improve
the documentation on what responsibilities FunctorBase.h has, compared
to TaskBase.
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.
ThreadIndicies constructor was templated on the invocation type, which created
thousand's of versions of that symbol which all had the same behavior. So now
remove that and move that logic into a Worklet function since it requires
the invocation info.
Previously, each VecFromPortalPermute (the type that held the from field
values) held its own copy of the indices. For point to cell on
structured grids, this was a lot of repeated data values, which has the
potential to fill up cache and registers. Instead, just use pointer
references.
This changes the interface to the ThreadIndices classes to have both
input and output indices. It also adds a visit index to ThreadIndices.
Also added the VisitIndex execution signature tag, which relies on this
behavior.
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.
Variable topology fields
Changes to fetching in topology maps that lets you properly deal with cases where you do not know how many values are being fetched at compile time. For example, explicit cell sets can have any number of cell shapes that have different numbers of nodes.
This change should resolve issue #26.

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT is causing warnings in the PGI compiler. Apparently,
when BOOST_MPL_ASSERT succeeds it declares a static object with a unqiue
name scoped to the file. The problem is that the PGI compiler is pretty
picky about things being declared without being used, so it was emitting
useless warnings about successful BOOST_MPL_ASSERTs. However,
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT does not seem to have this problem, so for the benefit
of PGI change the compile-time assert method.
The PGI compiler is fussy about finding declared variables and methods
that have limited scope and are never used. Thus, it is complaining about
some internal test classes that are properly implementing the ArrayPortal
interface even though not all of it is being accessed.
To get around the problem, put them in a non-anonymous namespace with a
name unlikely to conflict with anything. The compiler will recognize that
it is possible to access these classes outside the scope of the file and
shut up about items not being used.
On one of my compile platforms, GCC was giving conversion warnings from
any boost include that was not wrapped in pragmas to disable conversion
warnings. To make things easier and more robust, I created a pair of
macros, VTKM_BOOST_PRE_INCLUDE and VTKM_BOOST_POST_INCLUDE, that should
be wrapped around any #include of a boost header file.
One fix is a simple (pointless) compiler warning about precision. The
other fix is an error in one of the test codes that did not clear out
the message string in an error message buffer like it was supposed to.
These changes support the implementation of DispatcherBase. This class
provides the basic functionality for calling an Invoke method in the
control environment, transferring data to the execution environment,
scheduling threads in the execution environment, pulling data for each
calling of the worklet method, and actually calling the worklet.
