Previously, when a Worklet needed a scatter, the scatter object was
stored in the Worklet object. That was problematic because that means
the Scatter, which is a control object, was shoved into the execution
environment.
To prevent that, move the Scatter into the Dispatcher object. The
worklet still declares a ScatterType alias, but no longer has a
GetScatter method. Instead, the Dispatcher now takes a Scatter object in
its constructor. If using the default scatter (ScatterIdentity), the
default constructor is used. If using another type of Scatter that
requires data to set up its state, then the caller of the worklet needs
to provide that to the dispatcher. For convenience, worklets are
encouraged to have a MakeScatter method to help construct a proper
scatter object.
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.
This allows you to defer its construction. The default constructor
will set up the scatter to have 0 inputs and 0 outputs, so using
it will likely quickly reveal an error.
RemoveUnusedPoints contains a couple of worklets and some helper methods
to compact the points in a CellSetExplicit. This is helpful when you
have an operation that creates new cells but might not use all the
original points of the inputs.
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.
It is the case that there are two ways to create the output to input map in
a count scatter. The first is to use a parallel find for every output index.
The second, which is used when there are lots of output, is to iterate over
the input and write out the reverse map. In this case, it is trivial to also
write out the visit indices, so do that instead of a bunch more searches.
