`ArrayHandleCast` was giving warnings about casting to a type that could
not hold the range to the source even when that was not true. The
problem was it was using `std::numeric_limits::min` for the lower end of
the range. But for floating point values, `min` is not really `min`.
Rather, it is the smallest representable number. (This is probably a C++
bug we are stuck with.) You really need to use `lowest`.
`VaraintArrayHandle` has been replaced by `UnknownArrayHandle` and
`UncertainArrayHandle`. Officially make it deprecated and point users to
the new implementations.
What was previously declared as `ArrayHandleNewStyle` is now just the
implementation of `ArrayHandle`. The old implementation of `ArrayHandle`
has been moved to `ArrayHandleDeprecated`, and `ArrayHandle`s still
using this implementation must declare `VTKM_ARRAY_HANDLE_DEPRECATED` to
use it.
I'm too lazy to look up the C++ spec, but it seems like template
parameter names would shadow the same names from a superclass.
Apparently that is not the case for Visual Studio. The `Storage` for the
cast array inherits from the `Storage` of the transform array. The
latter declares a private type named `SourceStorage`, and that is being
used instead of the former's `SourceStorage` template parameter. You
then get an error for accessing a private member that you did not want
in the first place.
Fix the problem by changing the name of the template parameter.
The new-style `ArrayHandle` uses `Buffer` objects to manage data. Thus,
when one is decorating the other, it expects to find the `Buffer`
objects, which the old-style `ArrayHandle`s do not have. To make the two
work together, fake buffers in the old-style arrays.
The buffers in old-style arrays are empty, but have metadata that points
back to the `ArrayHandle.
The specialization for SerializableTypeString for ArrayHandleCast tried
to get the serialization for the base type and the storage tag. This is
wrong since the storage tag itself is not seralizable nor has a type
string. Instead, just record the type name for the sub ArrayHandle
itself.
The destructors of some control side objects (such as CellSet and
ArrayHandle) are defined. These destructors are obviously only compiled
for the control environment (i.e. for CUDA only for the host). However,
not all of the subclasses implemented their own destructors. In CUDA,
when a default destructor is used, it is compiled for both host and
device. This caused a problem as the superclass's destructor was only
compiled for the host and therefore caused a warning.
Fixed the problem by defining an empty destructor to any subclasses that
needed one.
It's weird that I ran into this problem while chaning the List TMP
class, but the solution seems fine.
Previously, `ArrayHandleCast` was considered a read-only array handle.
However, it is trivial to reverse the cast (now that `ArrayHandleTransform`
supports an inverse transform). So now you can write to a cast array
(assuming the underlying array is writable).
One trivial consequence of this change is that you can no longer make a
cast that cannot be reversed. For example, it was possible to cast a simple
scalar to a `Vec` even though it is not possible to convert a `Vec` to a
scalar value. This was of dubious correctness (it is more of a construction
than a cast) and is easy to recreate with `ArrayHandleTransform`.
E.g:
```
ArrayHandle<Float64> doubleArray;
VariantArrayHandle varHandle{doubleArray};
ArrayHandleVirtual<Float32> = varHandle.AsVirtual<Float32>();
```
If there is a loss in range and/or precision, a warning is logged. If
the ValueTypes are Vecs with mismatched widths, an ErrorBadType is thrown.
Internally, an ArrayHandleCast is used between the VariantArrayHandle's
stored array and the ArrayHandleVirtual.
In a previous commit I made a version of make_ArrayHandleCast that
returned the same array if no cast was needed. That should shorten
template type names and make them easier to read. However, some
compilers were having trouble distinguishing between the two versions I
had created. This change uses an internal structure to make the
resolution easier.
This is still more convenient than declaring DeviceAdapterAlgorithm just
to copy two arrays. Now the function works whether or not you know what
the device should be.
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.
This are just some minor things I ran into while documenting these classes.
One change is just an error in a comment. The other change allows you
to specify the type in make_ArrayHandleCast as a template argument instead
of creating an instance.
Array transforms can now be created with an inverse functor, allowing for
casts back into the native array type. As a result, array transforms with
both a functor and inverse functor defined can perform read and write
operations. As an example, ArrayHandleCast now supports this operation. The
original implementation of ArrayHandleCast (i.e. read only) has been renamed
'ArrayHandleCastForInput'.
The ArrayHandle classes all exclusively work in the control environment.
However, CUDA likes to add __device__ to constructors, destructors, and
assignment operators it automatically adds. This in turn causes warnings
about the __device__ function using host-only classes (like
boost::shared_ptr). Solve this problem by adding explicit methods for
all of these.
Implemented this by wrapping up all these default objects in a macro.
This also solved the problem of other constructors that are necessary
for array handles such as a constructor that takes the base array
handle.
Under CUDA, the default constructors and destructors created are exported
as __host__ and __device__, which causes problems because they used a boost
pointer that only works on the host. The explicit copy constructors and
destructors do the same thing as the default ones except declared to only
work on the host.
