`std::is_trivial` is part of the C++14 specification. However, we have
encountered multiple compilers that purport to implement C++14 but do
not implement `std::is_trivial` and the like checks correctly.
To avoid such issues, only use `std::is_trivial` on compilers that we
have tested to support it.
A new header named TypeList.h and the type lists have been redefined in
this new file. All the types have been renamed from `TypeListTag*` to
`TypeList*`. TypeListTag.h has been gutted to provide deprecated
versions of the old type list names.
There were also some other type lists that were changed from using the
old `ListTagBase` to the new `List`.
`vtkm::cont::testing` now initializes with logging enabled and support
for device being passed on the command line, `vtkm::testing` only
enables logging.
For std::copy to optimize a copy to memcpy, the valuetype must be both
trivially constructable and trivially copyable.
The new copy benchmarks highlighted an issue that std::copy'ing pairs
and vecs were not optimized to memcpy. For a 256 MiB buffer on my
laptop w/ GCC, the serial copy speeds were:
UInt8: 10.10 GiB/s
Vec<UInt8, 2> 3.12 GiB/s
Pair<UInt32, Float32> 6.92 GiB/s
After this patch, the optimization occurs and a bitwise copy occurs:
UInt8: 10.12 GiB/s
Vec<UInt8, 2> 9.66 GiB/s
Pair<UInt32, Float32> 9.88 GiB/s
Check were also added to the Vec and Pair unit tests to ensure that
this classes continue to be trivial.
The ArrayHandleSwizzle test was refactored a bit to eliminate a new
'possibly uninitialized memory' warning introduced with the default
Vec ctors.
Sandia National Laboratories recently changed management from the

accordingly.
The zip capability allows you to parameter-wise combine two
FunctionInterface objects. The result is another FunctionInterface with
each parameter a Pair containing the respective values of the two
inputs.
Being able to zip allows you to do transforms and invokes on data that
is divided among multiple function interface objects.
