The `VecTraits` class allows templated functions, methods, and classes to
treat type arguments uniformly as `Vec` types or to otherwise differentiate
between scalar and vector types. This only works for types that `VecTraits`
is defined for.
The `VecTraits` templated class now has a default implementation that will
be used for any type that does not have a `VecTraits` specialization. This
removes many surprise compiler errors when using a template that, unknown
to you, has `VecTraits` in its implementation.
One potential issue is that if `VecTraits` gets defined for a new type, the
behavior of `VecTraits` could change for that type in backward-incompatible
ways. If `VecTraits` is used in a purely generic way, this should not be an
issue. However, if assumptions were made about the components and length,
this could cause problems.
Fixes#589
Added a BaseComponentType to VecTraits that recursively finds the base
(non-Vec) type of a Vec. This is useful when dealing with potentially
nested Vec's (e.g. Vec<Vec<T, M>, N>) and you need to keep the structure
but know the base type.
Also added a couple of templates for keeping the structure but changing
the type. These are ReplaceComponentType and ReplaceBaseComponentType.
These allow you to create new Vec's with the same structure as the query
Vec but with differen component types.
The maybe uninitialized warnings condition logic wasn't correct the
first time, and needed to be extended for gcc4+. This locally has
resolved the problems the first try didn't solve.
When using vtkm::dot on narrow types you easily rollover the values.
Instead the result type of vtkm::dot should be wide enough to store the results
(32bits) when this occurs.

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.
These structs behave much like Vec except that they work on a short C
array given to them rather than having the statically sized short array
defined within.
I expect to use this in the short term to help implement cell face
classes, but there are probably many other uses.
Some changes to the Vec class and VecTraits in anticipation of creating
Vec-like objects. The following changes are made:
* Add GetNumberOfComponents to Vec, which returns NUM_COMPONENTS.
* Likewise, all VecTraits have a GetNumberOfComponents method.
* The ToVec method in VecTraits is changed to CopyInto so that it can be
used when the length of the Vec-like is not known. CopyInto is also
added to Vec.
* VecTraits has a typedef named IsSizeStatic which is set to
VecTraitsTagSizeStatic when the number of components is known at compile
time and VecTraitsTagSizeVariable when the number of components is not
known until runtime.
C and C++ has a funny feature where operations on small integers (char
and short) actually promote the result to a 32 bit integer. Most often
in our code the result is pushed back to the same type, and picky compilers
can then give a warning about an implicit type conversion (that we
inevitably don't care about). Here are a lot of changes to suppress
the warnings.
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.
