This commit removes `vtkm::filter::Result`. All methods that used
`vtkm::filter::Result` simply change to use `vtkm::cont::Dataset` instead.
The utility API on `Result` that was used to add fields to the resulting
dataset is now available via `vtkm::filter::internal::CreateResult`.
MapFieldOntoOutput is no longer public API. Since `vtkm::cont::Filter`
invokes it when appropriate, we no longer need to keep it public.
Also removes the overload of MapFieldOntoOutput that doesn't take
policy. That is no longer needed since vtkm::cont::Filter always can
provide the current policy being used.
Filters now support executing on a dataset to produce a result dataset
with automatic mapping of fields to the output dataset. Fields to map
can be selected using `vtkm::filter::FieldSelection` class, which provides
constructors to map all or no fields, along with a selection of fields.
This updates all tests to use the new filter API.
Previously we allowed a const ref as we would make a copy, this only works
as it relies on RuntimeDeviceTracker implementing state through a shared_ptr.
Instead if we require modifiable types only we can make TryExecute more
efficient and clearer on what it does.
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.
They now grab the global runtime device tracker. In some cases, I've
added the ability to set/get the tracker to change it from the global.
In others I just removed the local copy, since it was just hooked into
the global tracker.
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.
VTK-m style guidelines dictate that all classes part of the API should
be in their own header file. Thus, we have moved the result classes out
of the filter header files and into their own headers.
We have also renamed these clases to ResultField and ResultDataSet to
better match the class naming conventions of VTK-m.
Since we are moving around these result classes, we have also revamped
their structure. They are now in a hierarchy with a common ResultBase
class. Additionally, all result classes have a reference to a complete
DataSet that can be considered the output of the filter. This will make
it easier for users to consistently deal with filter results.
These changes cover issues #60 and #62.
The base classes for all the filters are named with 'Filter' at the end.
Generally the convention in VTK-m is to place the most general
descriptor (in this case Filter) first, which makes it easier to find
items in ordered lists.
This commit resolves issue #59.
