Now that the dispatcher does its own TryExecute, filters do not need to
do that. This change requires all worklets called by filters to be able
to execute without knowing the device a priori.
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`.
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.
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.
First, be more explicit when we mean a range of values in a field or a
spacial bounds. Use the Range and Bounds structs in Field and
CoordinateSystem to make all of this more clear (and reduce a bit of
code as well).
The previous version of the bounds code required once less pass across
the data, but significantly increase the size of the resulting library:
Data for VTK-VTK-m interop:
- 7k more symbol table entries
- 1.5MB larger library
Because of the significant savings we need to use a less efficient
implementation that minimized the code size.
Certain algorithms like VertexClustering only work on certain cellset types.
It is pointless to generate the code paths for structured data cell sets,
when the algorithm can't operate on those dataset types.
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.
