Previously, the probe filter only worked on certain `Vec` sizes and
converted many types to floating point.
This change uses the extract component feature to pull data from any
array at its natural component type.
The bad part of this change is that it has to call the worklet
separately for each component in the field. That adds overhead and
probably lowers the cache efficiency. It was implemented this way
because the cell interpolation function does not work with the
recombined vecs returned from extract array.
The previous version of the `PointAverage` filter used a float fallback
to handle most array types. The problem with this approach other than
converting field types perhaps unexpectantly is that it does not work
with every `Vec` size. This change uses the extract by component feature
of `UnknownArrayHandle` to handle every array type.
To implement this change the `PointAverage` worklet had to be changed to
handle recombined vecs. This change resulted in a feature degridation
where it can no longer be compiled for inputs of incompatible `Vec`
sizes. This feature dates back to when worklets like this were exposed
in the interface. This worklet class is now hidden away from the exposed
interface, so this degredation should not affect end users. There are
some unit tests that use this worklet to test other features, and these
had to be updated.

Use the `MapFieldPermutation` function when mapping point coordinates

Use the extract component functionality to get data from any type of
array. This prevents converting fields to `vtkm::DefaultFloat` and
supports any size `Vec` in the component.
The previous implementation of the map field in the clip filters
(`ClipWithField` and `ClipWithImplicitFunction`) checked for common field
types and interpolated those. If the field value type did not match, it
would either convert the field to floats (which is at odds with what VTK
does) or fail outright if the `Vec` length is not supported.
The map field function for clip has been changed to support all possible
types. It does this by using the extract component functionality to get
data from any type of array.
When you use an `ArrayHandle` as an output array in a worklet (for example,
as a `FieldOut`), the fetch operation does not read values from the array
during the `Load`. Instead, it just constructs a new object. This makes
sense as an output array is expected to have garbage in it anyway.
This is a problem for some special arrays that contain `Vec`-like objects
that are sized dynamically. For example, if you use an
`ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable`, each entry is a dynamically sized `Vec`. The
array is referenced by creating a special version of `Vec` that holds a
reference to the array portal and an index. Components are retrieved and
set by accessing the memory in the array portal. This allows us to have a
dynamically sized `Vec` in the execution environment without having to
allocate within the worklet.
The problem comes when we want to use one of these arrays with `Vec`-like
objects for an output. The typical fetch fails because you cannot construct
one of these `Vec`-like objects without an array portal to bind it to. In
these cases, we need the fetch to create the `Vec`-like object by reading
it from the array. Even though the data will be garbage, you get the
necessary buffer into the array (and nothing more).
Previously, the problem was fixed by creating partial specializations of
the `Fetch` for these `ArrayHandle`s. This worked OK as long as you were
using the array directly. However, the approach failed if the `ArrayHandle`
was wrapped in another `ArrayHandle` (for example, if an `ArrayHandleView`
was applied to an `ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable`).
To get around this problem and simplify things, the basic `Fetch` for
direct output arrays is changed to handle all cases where the values in the
`ArrayHandle` cannot be directly constructed. A compile-time check of the
array's value type is checked with `std::is_default_constructible`. If it
can be constructed, then the array is not accessed. If it cannot be
constructed, then it grabs a value out of the array.
This feature enables the ability to anonomously create an array (such as
with `UnknownArrayHandle::NewInstance()`) and then use that as an output
array. Although resizing `ArrayHandleStride` is a little wonky, it
allows worklets to resize them after creation rather than having to know
what size to make and allocating the array.
The fields in a `DataSet` are indexed from `0` to `GetNumberOfFields() - 1`.
It is natural to assume that the fields will be indexed in the order that
they are added, but they are not. Rather, the indexing is arbitrary and can
change any time a field is added to the dataset.
To make this more clear, Doxygen documentation is added to the `DataSet`
methods to inform users to not make any assumptions about the order of
field indexing.
The member variables of the `vtkm::Particle` classes are now hidden. This
means that external code will not be directly able to access member
variables like `Pos`, `Time`, and `ID`. Instead, these need to be retrieved
and changed through accessor methods.
This follows standard C++ principles. It also helps us future-proof the
classes. It means that we can provide subclasses or alternate forms of
`Particle` that operate differently. It also makes it possible to change
interfaces while maintaining a deprecated interface.
Added a name option that allows the same benchmark executable to be used
in multiple benchmark tests. This allows the benchmarks to be separated.
Also added an option to pass customized arguments to the benchmark
executable to overwrite the default values.

During the VTK-m 1.8 and 1.9 development, the filter infrastructure was
overhauled. Part of this created a completely new set of base classes. To
avoid confusion with the original filter base classes and ease transition,
the new filter base classes were named `NewFilter*`. Eventually after all
filters were transitioned, the old filter base classes were deprecated.
With the release of VTK-m 2.0, the old filter base classes are removed. The
"new" filter base classes are no longer new. Thus, they have been renamed
simply `Filter` (and `FilterField`).
Originally, most of the sources used constructor parameters to set the
various options of the source. Although convenient, it was difficult to
keep track of what each parameter meant. To make the code more clear,
source parameters are now set with accessor functions (e.g.
`SetPointDimensions`). Although this makes code more verbose, it helps
prevent mistakes and makes the changes more resilient to future changes.
With the major revision 2.0 of VTK-m, many items previously marked as
deprecated were removed. If updating to a new version of VTK-m, it is
recommended to first update to VTK-m 1.9, which will include the deprecated
features but provide warnings (with the right compiler) that will point to
the replacement code. Once the deprecations have been fixed, updating to
2.0 should be smoother.
Previously, `DataSet` managed `CoordinateSystem`s separately from `Field`s.
However, a `CoordinateSystem` is really just a `Field` with some special
attributes. Thus, coordiante systems are now just listed along with the
rest of the fields, and the coordinate systems are simply strings that
point back to the appropriate field. (This was actually the original
concept for `DataSet`, but the coordinate systems were separated from
fields for some now obsolete reasons.)
Previously, point fields compressed by ZFP were attached as point fields
on the output. However, using them as a point field would cause
problems. So, instead attache them as `WholeDataSet` fields.
Also fixed a problem where the 1D decompressor created an output of the
wrong size.
The `VTKM_LOG_SCOPE` macro was not working as intended. It was supposed
to print a log message immediately and then print a second log message
when leaving the scope along with the number of seconds that elapsed
between the two messages.
This was not what was happening. The second log message was being
printed immediately after the first. This is because the scope was taken
inside of the `LogScope` method. The macro has been rewritten to put the
tracking in the right scope.
The name of the methods were changed from `AddGhostCellField` to
`SetGhostCellField` since only one field can be marked as the cell
ghost. Also automatically select a field that matches
`GetGlobalCellFieldName` if nothing else is set.
The basic use of `FieldSelection` is to construct the class with a mode
(`None`, `Any`, `Select`, `Exclude`), and then specify particular fields
based off of this mode. This works fine for basic uses where the same code
that constructs a `FieldSelection` sets all the fields.
But what happens, for example, if you have code that takes an existing
`FieldSelection` and wants to exclude the field named `foo`? If the
`FieldSelection` mode happens to be anything other than `Exclude`, the code
would have to go through several hoops to construct a new `FieldSelection`
object with this modified selection.
To make this case easier, `FieldSelection` now has the ability to specify
the mode independently for each field. The `AddField` method now has an
optional mode argument the specifies whether the mode for that field should
be `Select` or `Exclude`.
In the example above, the code can simply add the `foo` field with the
`Exclude` mode. Regardless of whatever state the `FieldSelection` was in
before, it will now report the `foo` field as not selected.

It is possible in a `DataSet` to add a point field (or coordinate system)
that has a different number of points than reported in the cell set.
Likewise for the number of cells in cell fields. This is very bad practice
because it is likely to lead to crashes in worklets that are expecting
arrays of an appropriate length.
Although `DataSet` will still allow this, a warning will be added to the
VTK-m logging to alert users of the inconsistency introduced into the
`DataSet`. Since warnings are by default printed to standard error, users
are likely to see it.
The field being created by `ParticleDensityNearestGridPoint` was supposed
to be associated with cells, but it was sized to the number of points.
Although the number of points will always be more than the number of cells
(so the array will be big enough), having inappropriately sized arrays can
cause further problems downstream.
When managing portals in the execution environment, `ArrayHandle` uses the
`Token` object to ensure that the memory associated with a portal exists
for the length of time that it is needed. This is done by creating the
portal with a `Token` object, and the associated portal objects are
guaranteed to be valid while that `Token` object exists. This is supported
by essentially locking the array from further changes.
`Token` objects are typically used when creating a control-side portal with
the `ReadPortal` or `WritePortal`. This is not to say that a `Token` would
not be useful; a control-side portal going out of scope is definitely a
problem. But the creation and distruction of portals in the control
environment is generally too much work for the possible benefits.
However, under certain circumstances it could be useful to use a `Token` to
get a control-side portal. For example, if the `PrepareForExecution` method
of an `ExecutionObjectBase` needs to fill a small `ArrayHandle` on the
control side to pass to the execution side, it would be better to use the
provided `Token` object when doing so. This change allows you to optionally
provide that `Token` when creating these control-side portals.
For several versions, VTK-m has had a `Variant` templated class. This acts
like a templated union where the object will store one of a list of types
specified as the template arguments. (There are actually 2 versions for the
control and execution environments, respectively.)
Because this is a complex class that required several iterations to work
through performance and compiler issues, `Variant` was placed in the
`internal` namespace to avoid complications with backward compatibility.
However, the class has been stable for a while, so let us expose this
helpful tool for wider use.
The `Tube` filter wraps a tube of polygons around poly line cells.
During this process it had a strange (and wrong) handling of cell data.
It assumed that each line had an independent field entry for each
segment of each line. It thus had lots of extra code to find the length
and offsets of the segment data in the cell data.
This is simply not how cell fields work in VTK-m. In VTK-m, each cell
has exactly one entry in the cell field array. Even if a polyline has
100 segments, it only gets one cell field value. This behavior is
consistent with how VTK treats cell field arrays.
The behavior the `Tube` filter was trying to implement was closer to an
"edge" field. However, edge fields are currently not supported in VTK-m.
The proper implementation would be to add edge fields to VTK-m. (This
would also get around some problems with the implementation that was
removed here when mixing polylines with other cell types and degenerate
lines.)
The legacy VTK reader sometimes has to permute cell data because some
VTK cells are not directly supported in VTK-m. (For example, triangle
strips are not supported. They have to be converted to triangles.)
The global and petigree identifiers were not properly getting permuted.
This is now fixed.
Several revisions ago, the ability to use virtual methods in the
execution environment was deprecated. Completely remove this
functionality for the VTK-m 2.0 release.
`ExecutionWholeArray` is an archaic class in VTK-m that is a thin wrapper
around an array portal. In the early days of VTK-m, this class was used to
transfer whole arrays to the execution environment. However, now the
supported method is to use `WholeArray*` tags in the `ControlSignature` of
a worklet.
Nevertheless, the `WholeArray*` tags caused the array portal transferred to
the worklet to be wrapped inside of an `ExecutionWholeArray` class. This
is unnecessary and can cause confusion about the types of data being used.
Most code is unaffected by this change. Some code that had to work around
the issue of the portal wrapped in another class used the `GetPortal`
method which is no longer needed (for obvious reasons). One extra feature
that `ExecutionWholeArray` had was that it provided an subscript operator
(somewhat incorrectly). Thus, any use of '[..]' to index the array portal
have to be changed to use the `Get` method.
There is a Makefile include, `vtkm_config.mk`, and a package include,
`vtkm.pc`, that are configured so that external programs that do not use
CMake have a way of importing VTK-m's configuration. However, the set of
libraries was hardcoded. In particular, many of the new filter libraries
were missing.
Rather than try to maintain this list manually, use the module mechanism
in the CMake configuration to get a list of libraries built and
automatically build these lists.
This mechanism sets up CMake variables that allow a user to select which
modules/libraries to create. Dependencies will be tracked down to ensure
that all of a module's dependencies are also enabled.
The modules are also arranged into groups.
Groups allow you to set the enable flag for a group of modules at once.
Thus, if you have several modules that are likely to be used together,
you can create a group for them.
This can be handy in converting user-friendly CMake options (such as
`VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING`) to the modules that enable that by pointing to
the appropriate group.
This has the side effect of initialing MPI_Init (and will also
call MPI_Finalize at program exit). However, if the calling
code has already called MPI_Init, then nothing will happen.
Thus, if the calling code wants to manage MPI_Init/Finalize,
it can do so as long as it does before it initializes VTK-m.
There was a bug with Flying Edges checking the boundary conditions in
the z-direction. It was comparing the z index to the size of the y
dimension, not the z dimension. This simple typo was probably missed
because most of the tests use square meshes. To catch the problem, you
need a mesh that has a different number of points in the y and z
directions and the contour has to go past the positive z boundary.
When this error was hit, the indices for the edges on that boundary were
not recorded, and later interpolation used garbage values for edge's
point ids.
The `Variant` class was missing a way to check the type. You could do it
indirectly using `variant.GetIndex() == variant.GetIndexOf<T>()`, but
having this convenience function is more clear.

Previously, the number of buffers held by an `ArrayHandle` had to be
determined statically at compile time by the storage. Most of the time
this is fine. However, there are some exceptions where the number of
buffers need to be selected at runtime. For example, the
`ArrayHandleRecombineVec` does not specify the number of components it
uses, and it needed a hack where it stored buffers in the metadata of
another buffer, which is bad.
This change allows the number of buffers to vary at runtime (at least at
construction). The buffers were already managed in a `std::vector`. It
now no longer forces the vector to be a specific size.
`GetNumberOfBuffers` was removed from the `Storage`. Instead, if the
number of buffers was not specified at construction, an allocation of
size 0 is done to create default buffers.
The biggest change is to the interface of the storage object methods,
which now take `std::vector` instead of pointers to `Buffer` objects.
This adds a little hastle in having to copy subsets of this `vector`
when a storage object has multiple sub-arrays. But it does simplify some
of the templating.
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.
The legacy VTK file reader for unstructured grids had a bug when reading
cells of type voxel. VTK-m does not support the voxel cell type in
unstructured grids (i.e. explicit cell sets), so it has to convert them to
hexahedron cells. A bug in the reader was mangling the cell array index
during this conversion.
It is the case that arrays might be deallocated from a device after the
device is closed. This can happen, for example, when an `ArrayHandle` is
declared globally. It gets constructed before VTK-m is initialized. This
is OK as long as you do not otherwise use it until VTK-m is initialized.
However, if you use that `ArrayHandle` to move data to a device and that
data is left on the device when the object closes, then the
`ArrayHandle` will be left holding a reference to invalid device memory
once the device is shut down. This can cause problems when the
`ArrayHandle` destructs itself and attempts to release this memory.
The VTK-m devices should gracefully handle deallocations that happen
after device shutdown.
`UnknownArrayHandle` compares `std::type_index` objects to check whether a
requested type is the same as that held in the array handle. However, it is
possible that different translation units can create different but
equivalent `std::type_info`/`std::type_index` objects. In this case, the
`==` operator might return false for two equivalent types. This can happen
on OSX.
To get around this problem, `UnknownArrayHandle` now does a more extensive
check for `std::type_info` object. It first uses the `==` operator to
compare them (as before), which usually works but can possibly return
`false` when the correct result is `true`. To check for this case, it then
compares the name for the two types and returns `true` iff the two names
are the same.
There was a bug where if you attempted to copy a variant that was not
valid (i.e. did not hold an object), a seg fault could happen. This has
been changed to set the target variant to also be invalid.

For the `Backport: release` command to work on a MR, it needs to be at
the bottom of the description of the MR. However, `ReleaseHotFix.md`
claimed it could be anywhere in the description. Fix that.
Whan an `UnknownArrayHandler` is constructed from an `ArrayHandle`, it uses
the `VecTraits` of the component type to construct its internal functions.
This meant that you could not put an `ArrayHandle` with a component type
that did not have `VecTraits` into an `UnknownArrayHandle`.
`UnknownArrayHandle` now no longer needs the components of its arrays to
have `VecTraits`. If the component type of the array does not have
`VecTraits`, it treats the components as if they are a scalar type.
Recently, an instantiation method was added to the VTK-m configuration
files to set up a set of source files that compile instances of a template.
This allows the template instances to be compiled exactly once in separate
build files.
However, the implementation made the assumption that the instantiations
were happening for VTK-m filters. Now that the VTK-m filters are being
redesigned, this assumption is broken.
Thus, the instantiation code has been redesigned to be more general. It can
now be applied to code within the new filter structure. It can also be
applied anywhere else in the VTK-m source code.

Several of the ZFP worklet headers included `vtkm/cont/testing/
MakeTestDataSet.h`. This is a problem because if testing is turned off,
then `MakeTestDataSet.h` attempts to include a file that is not
generated, so the compile just fails if testing is off (and the testing
library is not on). This include must be a remanent of some old testing
code during development. It can be safely removed.
The cell classifications were using an unscoped enum to define them. The
problem was that the symbols of the enum littered the `vtkm` namespace
without qualification. For example, it defined `vtkm::NORMAL`, which
could easily collide with some other meaning of normal.
Change the cell classification flags to be scoped within
`vtkm::CellClassification`. This thing behaves mostly like a scoped
enum. You can use the values declared within and reference
`vtkm::CellClassification` as a type itself. However, unlike a scoped
enum, `vtkm::CellClassification` items can automatically be cast to and
from `vtkm::UInt8`.
The symbols in `vtkm::cont::Field::Association` have been changed from
`ANY`, `WHOLE_MESH`, `POINTS`, and `CELL_SET` to `Any`, `WholeMesh`,
`Points`, and `Cells`, respectively. The reason for this change is twofold:
* The general standard that VTK-m follows for `enum struct` enumerators
is to use camel case (with the first character capitalized), not all
upper case.
* The use of `CELL_SET` for fields associated with cells is obsolete. A
`DataSet` used to support having more than one `CellSet`, and so a
field association on cells was actually bound to a particular
`CellSet`. However, that is no longer the case. A `DataSet` has exactly
one `CellSet`, so a cell field no longer has to point to a `CellSet`.
Thus the enumeration symbol for `Cells` should match the one for
`Points`.
For backward compatibility, the old enumerations still exist. They are
aliases for the new names, and they are marked as deprecated, so using them
will result in a compiler warning (on some systems).
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 original version of `Filter` classes had a helper header file named
`CreateResult.h` that had several forms of a `CreateResult` function that
helped correctly create the `DataSet` to be returned from a filter's
`DoExecute`. With the move to the `NewFilter` structure, these functions
did not line up very well with how `DataSet`s should actually be created.
A replacement for these functions have been added as protected helper
methods to `NewFilter` and `NewFilterField`. In addition to moving them
into the filter themselves, the behavior of `CreateResult` has been merged
with the map field to output functionality. The original implementation of
`Filter` did this mapping internally in a different step. The first design
of `NewFilter` required the filter implementer to call a
`MapFieldsOntoOutput` themselves. This new implementation wraps the
functionality of `CreateResult` and `MapFieldsOntoOutput` together so that
the `DataSet` will be created correctly with a single call to
`CreateResult`. This makes it easier to correctly create the output.
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`.
Rather than require `ArrayCopy` to create special versions of copy for
all arrays, use a precompiled versions. This should speed up compiles,
reduce the amount of code being generated, and require the device
compiler on fewer source files.
There are some cases where you still need to copy arrays that are not
well supported by the precompiled versions in `ArrayCopy`. (It will
always work, but the fallback is very slow.) In this case, you will want
to switch over to `ArrayCopyDevice`, which has the old behavior.

To avoid having to use a device compiler every time you wish to use
`ArrayGetValue`, the actual implementation is compiled into the `vtkm_cont`
library. To allow this to work for all the templated versions of
`ArrayHandle`, the implementation uses the extract component features of
`UnknownArrayHandle`. This works for most common arrays, but not all
arrays.
For arrays that cannot be directly represented by an `ArrayHandleStride`,
the fallback is bad. The entire array has to be pulled to the host and then
copied serially to a basic array.
For `ArrayGetValue`, this is just silly. So, for arrays that cannot be
simply represented by `ArrayHandleStride`, make a fallback that just uses
`ReadPortal` to get the data. Often this is not the most efficient method,
but it is better than the current alternative.
The `test_equal_images` function has been expanded to supply the
generated image in a `Canvas` or a `DataSet` in addition to a `View`.
Much of the templating code has been removed from `test_equal_images`
and most of the code has moved into the `vtkm_rendering_testing`
library.
The previous functions that enabled the render regression tests were
heavily templated, which required every test using rendering to
recompile the entire rendering system being used. Changed the interface
to not rely on templating so that the RenderTest method can be moved
into a library.
Also moved the options into a struct where they can be better managed.
The render testing functions tended to have lots of arguments that were
difficult to manage. Instead, created a single `struct` that holds all
the potential options. That way when someone specifies on option, it is
clear what option is being set.
The legacy VTK file writer writes out in ASCII. This is helpful when a
human is trying to read the file. However, if you have more than a
trivial amount of data, the file can get impractically large. To get
around this, `VTKDataSetWriter` now has a flag that allows you to write
the data in binary format.

This filter adds a pair of fields to a `DataSet` which mirror the
indices of the points and cells, respectively. These fields are useful
for tracking the provenance of the elements of a `DataSet` as it gets
manipulated by the filters. It is also convenient for adding indices to
operations designed for fields and for testing purposes.
`vtkm::cont::UnknownArrayHandle` now provides a set of method that
allows you to copy data from one `UnknownArrayHandle` to another. The
first method, `DeepCopyFrom`, takes a source `UnknownArrayHandle` and
deep copies the data to the called one. If the `UnknownArrayHandle`
already points to a real `ArrayHandle`, the data is copied into that
`ArrayHandle`. If the `UnknownArrayHandle` does not point to an existing
`ArrayHandle`, then a new `ArrayHandleBasic` with the same value type as
the source is created and copied into.
The second method, `CopyShallowIfPossibleFrom` behaves similarly to
`DeepCopyFrom` except that it will perform a shallow copy if possible.
That is, if the target `UnknownArrayHandle` points to an `ArrayHandle`
of the same type as the source `UnknownArrayHandle`, then a shallow copy
occurs and the underlying `ArrayHandle` will point to the source. If the
types differ, then a deep copy is performed. If the target
`UnknownArrayHandle` does not point to an `ArrayHandle`, then the
behavior is the same as the `=` operator.
One of the intentions of these new methods is to allow you to copy
arrays without using a device compiler (e.g. `nvcc`). Calling
`ArrayCopy` requires you to include the `ArrayCopy.h` header file, and
that in turn requires device adapter algorithms. These methods insulate
you from these.
Scheduling topology map workets for `CellSetExtrude` always worked, but
the there were indexing problems when a `Scatter` or a `Mask` was used.
This has been corrected, and now `Scatter`s and `Mask`s are supported on
topology maps on `CellSetExtrude`.
Because `CellSetExplicit` is a templated class, the implementation of
most of its features is part of the header files. One of the things that
was included was the code to build the reverse connectivity links. That
is, it figured out which cells were incident on each point using the
standard connections of which points comprise which cells.
Of course, building these links is non-trivial, and it used multiple
DPPs to engage the device. It meant that header had to include the
device adapter algorithms and therefore required a device compiler. We
want to minimize this where possible.
To get around this issue, a non-templated function was added to find the
reverse connections of a `CellSetExplicit`. It does this by passing in
`UnknownArrayHandle`s for the input arrays. (The output visit-points-
with-cells arrays are standard across all template instances.) The
implementation first iterates over all `CellSetExplicit` versions in
`VTKM_DEFAULT_CELL_SETS` and attempts to retrieve arrays of those types.
In the unlikely event that none of these arrays work, it copies the data
to `ArrayHandle<vtkm::Id>` and uses those.
`ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets` has been changed to provide a pre-
compiled version for common arrays. This helps with the dual goals of
compiling less device code and allowing data set builders to not have to
use the device compiler. For cases where you need to compile
`ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets` for a different kind of array, you can
use the internal `ConvertNumComponentsToOffsetsTemplate`.
For no particularly good reason, there were two functions that converted
and array of counts to an array of offsets: `ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets`
and `ConvertNumIndicesToOffsets`. These functions were identical, except
one was defined in `ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable.h` and the other was
defined in `CellSetExplicit.h`.
These two functions have been consolidated into one (which is now called
`ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets`). The consolidated function has also been
put in its own header file: `ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets.h`.
Normally, backward compatibility would be established using deprecated
features. However, one of the things being worked on is the removal of
device-specific code (e.g. `vtkm::cont::Algorithm`) from core classes like
`CellSetExplicit` so that less code needs to use the device compiler
(especially downstream code).
Part of this change removed unnecessary includes of `Algorithm.h` in
`ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable.h` and `CellSetExplicit.h`. This header had to
be added to some classes that were not including it themselves.
Previously, the `Allocate` method of `ArrayHandle` was _not_ declared as
`const`. Likewise, the methods that depended on `Allocate`, namely
`ReleaseResources` and `PrepareForOutput` were also not declared `const`.
The main consequence of this was that if an `ArrayHandle` were passed as a
constant reference argument to a method (e.g. `const ArrayHandle<T>& arg`),
then the array could not be reallocated.
This seems right at first blush. However, we have changed these methods to
be `const` so that you can in fact reallocate the `ArrayHandle`. This is
because the `ArrayHandle` is in principle a pointer to an array pointer.
Such a structure in C will allow you to change the pointer to the array,
and so in this context it makes sense for `ArrayHandle` to support that as
well.
Although this distinction will certainly be confusing to users, we think
this change is correct for a variety of reasons.
1. This change makes the behavior of `ArrayHandle` consistent with the
behavior of `UnknownArrayHandle`. The latter needed this behavior to
allow `ArrayHandle`s to be passed as output arguments to methods that
get automatically converted to `UnknownArrayHandle`.
2. Before this change, a `const ArrayHandle&` was still multible is many
way. In particular, it was possible to change the data in the array
even if the array could not be resized. You could still call things
like `WritePortal` and `PrepareForInOut`. The fact that you could
change it for some things and not others was confusing. The fact that
you could call `PrepareForInOut` but not `PrepareForOutput` was doubly
confusing.
3. Passing a value by constant reference should be the same, from the
calling code's perspective, as passing by value. Although the function
can change an argument passed by value, that change is not propogated
back to the calling code. However, in the case of `ArrayHandle`,
calling by value would allow the array to be reallocated from the
calling side whereas a constant reference would prevent that. This
change makes the two behaviors consistent.
4. The supposed assurance that the `ArrayHandle` would not be reallocated
was easy to break even accidentally. If the `ArrayHandle` was assigned
to another `ArrayHandle` (for example as a class' member or wrapped
inside of an `UnknownArrayHandle`), then the array was free to be
reallocated.
