Fix a couple of places where having a Vec of a Vec (for example
vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Float32, 3>, 3>) did not work as it should.
One major place was in the test_equal function used in the testing
framework. If given a Vec of Vec, it would try to convert the Vec to
Float64 and fail. Now the comparison decends as many levels as need be.
The second place was in TypeTraits::ZeroInitialization() for all Vec
types. Originally it initialized the Vec using the default constructor
of the component type. This works fine when the component type is a
standard type, but if the component type is itself a Vec, then the
default constructor does not actually set any of the sub components.
Solved the issue by using the result of ZeroInitialization for the
component type, which will work for basic types and Vecs and anything
else supported by TypeTraits.
I noticed the UnitTestTransform3D test failed using the random seed
1480544620. On closer inspection, I found that the issue was with the
comparison of two numbers close to 0. The numbers were just above the
threshold, but their difference was not quite enough to make the ratio
below the threshold.
After reviewing some other floating point comparisons, they seem to be
more forgiving of numbers close to 0. Thus, I changed this comparison to
pass if the difference between the numbers was below the threshold.
Because this makes the comparison a lot more forgiving for small
numbers, I lowered the default threshold by an order of magnitude. So
far it looks like the tests are passing, but we should look out for
occasional failures.
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.
There were many tests that created code paths for every base and Vec
type that VTK-m supports (up to 4 components). Although this is
admirable, it is also excessive, and our compile times for the tests are
very long.
To shorten compile times, remove the TryAllTypes method. Replace it with
a version of TryTypes that uses a default list of "exemplar" set of
integers, floats, and Vecs.
There are various reasons why you might want to execute something but
not have a specific device to execute on. To mange this, add a general
function that will try a list of devices in order and attempt to run on
them in order.
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).
We have been having a problem with one of the MSVC dashboards failing
the UnitTestVectorAnalysis test. The test just dies in the middle with
no indication of what problematic thing was run.
After playing with this for quite a while, I found that it could by
triggered exclusively in the Lerp test. I further found that if I
switched the order of the test and check Lerp the test worked. This is
strange behavior and leads me to believe one of the following is going
on:
1. There is an error such as an invalid memory access happening in
the VTK-m code that is sometimes corrupting the stack.
2. Somewhere there is an expression that has undefined behavior. Usually
it works OK, but some optimization sequence causes it to fail.
3. There is a bug in one of the compiler's optimizations.
It concerns me that I cannot identify exactly where the problem lies.
I've looked very hard at the vtkm::Vec and vtkm::Lerp code to try to find
possible problems, but I have not been able to find anything.
There was an error in the test_equal comparison that would return true
when the second value was 0 (or close to 0) and the first value was not.
This was a bug I introduced with commit
b270438fea8a9fe4200322bfe6344ab2075c4d9a. I clearly misinterpreted how a
conditional worked.
The PrintSummary for CoordinateSystem went in an infinite loop. It was
supposed to call PrintSummary of its superclass (Field), but instead it
called itself.
The PrintSummary for Field only worked for fields of type vtkm::Float32.
To make it work for all array types, I added a PrintSummary method to
DynamicArrayHandle, and Field calls that without trying to cast to a
static type.
This class holds a Vec and exposes some number of components. The class
is used when you need a Vec of a size that is not known at compile time
but that a maximum length of reasonable size is known.
C and C++ has a funny feature where operations on small integers (char
and short) actually promote the result to a 32 bit integer. Most often
in our code the result is pushed back to the same type, and picky compilers
can then give a warning about an implicit type conversion (that we
inevitably don't care about). Here are a lot of changes to suppress
the warnings.
On one of my compile platforms, GCC was giving conversion warnings from
any boost include that was not wrapped in pragmas to disable conversion
warnings. To make things easier and more robust, I created a pair of
macros, VTKM_BOOST_PRE_INCLUDE and VTKM_BOOST_POST_INCLUDE, that should
be wrapped around any #include of a boost header file.
The test_equal method compares the ratio of the two values to decide if
they are close enough. Although there is a previous check to make sure
that neither value is too close to zero, the MSVC sometimes gives a
warning because it cannot trace the flow of the check. Add another
conditional (that will never actually be executed) to check a second time
that we never divide by 0.
Fix compile warnings that come up with the flags
-Wconversion -Wno-sign-conversion
This catches several instances (mostly in the testing framework) where
types are implicitly converted. I expect these changes to fix some of
the warnings we are seeing in MSVC.
I was going to add these flags to the list of extra warning flags, but
unfortunately the Thrust library has several warnings of these types,
and I don't know a good way to turn on the warnings for our code but
turn them off for Thrust.
This is a simple version of a dispatcher, but an important one.
Note that there is an issue brought up with UnitTestWorkletMapField in
that there needs to be better ways to specify worklet argument types.
Lots of tests have to move values in and out of arrays and check them
against expected values. It is also often the case that these tests are
run on lots of different types. There is some repeated code for
generating known values for particular indices. This change unifies some
of that. This can probably also encourage making more generic tests.
Before we assumed that we would only use the basic types specified by
the widths of vtkm::Scalar and vtkm::Id. We want to expand this to make
sure the code works on whatever data precision we need.
Since we want our code to generally handle data of different precision
(for example either float or double) expand the types in our list types
to include multiple precision.
There are multiple reasons for this name change:
* The name Tuple conflicts with the boost::Tuple class, which as a
different interface and feature set. This gets confusing, especially
since VTK-m uses boost quite a bit.
* The use of this class is usually (although not always) as a
mathematical vector.
* The vtkm::Scalar and vtkm::Vector* classes are going to go away soon
to better support multiple base data type widths. Having this
abbriviated name will hopefully make the code a bit nicer when these
types have to be explicitly specified.
Also modified the implementation a bit to consolidate some of the code.
In preparation for supporting base types with more widths, add typedefs
for the base types with explicit widths (number of bits).
Also added a IdComponent type that should be used for indices for
components into tuples and vectors. There now should be no reason to use
"int" inside of VTK-m code (especially for indexing). This change cleans
up many of the int types that were used throughout.
It appears that when the Intel compiler is optimizing, constant floating
point values can be slightly different than the same value stored in memory
and never changed. This change uses the test_equal method to compare
these floating point values that might have a slight numeric error.
We made this change a while ago to help with completion in IDEs.
(Completion was matching a bunch of wrapper macros that were almost
never used anywhere.) Most of the changes are in comments, but there are
a few bad macro definitions.
