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.)
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.
The enumerations in `vtkm::cont::Field::Association` were renamed in the
previous commit. The old names still exist, but are deprecated. Change
the rest of the code to use the new names.
Reduces the amount of code that has to be generated. Also improves the
number of arrays supported and has better support for deprecated
versions of `GetRange`.
There was an error that caused deprecation warnings in VTK-m to be
suppressed, which meant that many uses of deprecated features went
unnoticed. This fixes those deprecation warnings.
The majority of the warnings were caused by the use of the deprecated
`Cast`, `CopyTo`, and `ResetTypes` methods of `UnknownArrayHandle` (or
`VariantArrayHandle`). Both `Cast` and `CopyTo` have been subsumed by
`AsArrayHandle` (to make the functionality more clear). `ResetTypes` now
requires a second template argument to define the storage types to try.
Also fixed some issues with `SerializableField` being deprecated.
This class is no longer necessary because `Field` can now be directly
serialized.
MSVC tends to give deprecation warnings in templated methods that are
used with deprecated classes rather than where the deprecated thing was
declared. That makes it annoyingly hard to supress them to implement
support of deprecated items.
The `VariantArrayHandle` will soon be deprecated for its replacement of
`UnknownArrayHandle`. Thus, `Field` and related classes should start
using the new `UnknownArrayHandle`.
As we remove more and more virtual methods from VTK-m, I expect several
users will be interested in completely removing them from the build for
several reasons.
1. They may be compiling for hardware that does not support virtual
methods.
2. They may need to compile for CUDA but need shared libraries.
3. It should go a bit faster.
To enable this, a CMake option named `VTKm_NO_DEPRECATED_VIRTUAL` is
added. It defaults to `OFF`. But when it is `ON`, none of the code that
both uses virtuals and is deprecated will be built.
Currently, only `ArrayHandleVirtual` is deprecated, so the rest of the
virtual classes will still be built. As we move forward, more will be
removed until all virtual method functionality is removed.
`CoordinateSystem` differed from `Field` in that its `GetData`
method returned an `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates` instead of
a `VariantArrayHandle`. This is probably confusing since
`CoordianteSystem` inherits `Field` and has a pretty dramatic
difference in this behavior.
In preparation to deprecate `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates`, this
changes `CoordiantSystem` to be much more like `Field`. (In the
future, we may change the `CoordinateSystem` to point to a `Field`
rather than be a special `Field`.)
A method named `GetDataAsMultiplexer` has been added to
`CoordinateSystem`. This method allows you to get data from
`CoordinateSystem` as a single array type without worrying
about creating functors to handle different types and without
needing virtual methods.
- Use tao::tuple instead of FunctionInterface to hold array/portal
collections.
- Type signatures are simplified. Now just use:
- ArrayHandleCompositeVector<ArrayT1, ArrayT2, ...>
- make_ArrayHandleCompositeVector(array1, array2, ...)
instead of relying on helper structs to determine types.
- No longer support component selection from an input array. All
input arrays must have the same ValueType (See ArrayHandleSwizzle
and ArrayHandleExtractComponent as the replacements for these
usecases.
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.
Following what was done with ArrayRangeCompute, the GetRange and
GetBounds methods are embedded into the vtkm_cont library for the most
common type lists.
Also, and probably more importantly, the device adapter is no longer one
of the arguments for either of these methods. It is no longer needed as
ArrayRangeCompute no longer needs it.
This reduces the number of weak vtables vtkm generates, resulting in
a reduction of binary sizes for projects that include vtkm classes in
multiple translation units.
