The script fixed up most of the issues. However, there were some
instances that the script was not able to pick up on. There were
also some instances that still needed a means to select types.
VTK-m has been updated to replace old per device worklet testing executables with a device
dependent shared library so that it's able to accept a device adapter
at runtime.
Meanwhile, it updates the testing infrastructure APIs. vtkm::cont::testing::Run
function would call ForceDevice when needed and if users need the device
adapter info at runtime, RunOnDevice function would pass the adapter into the functor.
Optional Parser is bumped from 1.3 to 1.7.
The original design of invoke and the transport infrastructure
relied on the implementation behavior of vtkm::cont types
such as ArrayHandle that used an internal shared_ptr to managed
state. This allowed passing by value instead of passing by
non-const ref when needing to transfer information to the device.
As VTK-m adds support for classes that use virtuals the ability
to pass by base pointer type allows for us to invoke worklets
using a base type without the risk of type slicing.
Additional by moving over to a non-const ref Invocation we
can update all transports that have 'output' to now be
by ref and therefore support types that can't be copied while
being 'more' correct.
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.
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.
I ran into a few minor issues with the constructors to the Field class.
The big change I made was that I removed the Field constructors that
take an example type and create an empty field of that type. The problem
was that the example type was easily confused with some other type that
was supposed to describe an array. This lead to some odd behavior in the
compiler and resulted in errors in unexpected places.
The use case for this constructor is dubious. There were several tests
in the code that would create an empty field, add it to a data set, then
get it back out to pass to the worklet. The code is much simpler if you
just make an ArrayHandle of the right type and use that in the worklet
invoke directly. It is also faster to compile with smaller code because
the type is known statically (whereas it is lost the other way).
The other change was to declare references to ArrayHandle and
DynamicArrayHandle as const. There is nothing in the behavior that
invalidates the const, and it accepts arrays constructed in the
parameter.
The map topology worklets are to have convenience classes for all the
common mappings. However WorkletMapCellToPoint was left out as an
oversight. This adds the class.
Previously, DynamicArrayHandle and DynamicCellSet had slightly different
interfaces to their CastTo feature. It was a bit confusing and not all
that easy to use.
This change simplifies and unifies them by making each class have a single
CopyTo method that takes a reference to a cast object (an ArrayHandle or
CellSet, respectively) and fills that object with the data contained if
the cast is successfull. This interface gets around having to declare
strange types.
Each object also has a Cast method that has to have a template parameter
specified and returns a reference of that type (if possible).
In addition, the old behavior is preserved for DynamicArrayHandle (but
not DynamicCellSet). To avoid confusion, the name of that cast method is
CastToTypeStorage. However, the method was chaned to not take parameters
to make it consistent with the other Cast method.
Also, the IsType methods have been modified to reflect changes in
cast/copy. IsType now no longer takes arguments. However, an alternate
IsSameType does the same thing but does take an argument.
f86382f0 Fix support for CoordinateSystems using ArrayHandleCartesianProduct.
d6a2a142 Add toleranced compare for values. Add tests for vtkm::Float32,Float64,Id typed arrays.
5d438353 Add toleranced comparisions for bounds validation. Also, add vtkm::Float32 and vtkm::Float64 to the testing for rectilinear and regular datasets.
b225ae97 Rectilinear coordinates (created with DataSetBuilderRectilinear) are now converted to vtkm::FloatDefault. This reduces the number of types to consider when casting inside CoordinateSystem, and was felt by all to be a reasonable restriction.
d755e43d Use ArrayHandleCompositeVector to represent separated point arrays for DataSetBuilderExplicit.h.
c7b0ffb8 Add tests for DataSetBuilderExplicit. Added cont/testing/ExplicitTestData.h which includes several explicit datasets. These datasets come from VTK data generated in VisIt. The new unit tests build datasets in several different ways and do some basic validation.
b4d04fff Add specialization of printSummary_ArrayHandle for UInt8. It prints them as characters, which are a little hard to understand to this computer scientist.

Previously each device adapter only had a unique string name. This was
not the best when it came to developing data structures to track the status
of a given device at runtime.
This adds in a unique numeric identifier to each device adapter. This will
allow classes to easily create bitmasks / lookup tables for the validity of
devices.
When writing multiple backend code users of vtkm need to use the
DeviceAdapterTraits classes, so therefore we should move them to vtkm::cont
to signify this.
Previously, when you requested a CellShape in the ExecutionSignature,
you just got an ID stored in a vtkm::IdComponent. This change returns a
cell shape tag of the appropriate type (or generic if the type is not
known at compile time). This will allow functions called from the
worklet to specialize on the cell type better.
templating topology worklet to support mappings other than point-to-cell
This adds a FromTopology and ToTopology template type to the topology worklet, removing hard-coded types.
This is a precursor step necessary before we can add other mappings (like cell-to-point, etc.).

Previously, coordinate systems in a DataSet simply pointed to field data
specifying the coordinate information (although the ability to get that
back out of the DataSet was missing). This makes sense since point
coordinates are in fact just fields with a particular semantic meaning
to them.
However, there is an issue with this approach. It turns out that there
are special representations that are very common for point coordinates
and very uncommon for other types of fields. For example, a uniform
(a.k.a. regular or image) grid has point coordinates that are easily
derived from the point index, but such fields are quite uncommon
elsewhere.
Representing this kind of structure in the Field list of a DataSet is
problematic. Either all fields have to check to see if they are this
type, which will cause an explosion of unnecessary generated code, or
you will have to actually write out the coordinates in memory, which is
really wasteful but what was done previously.
However, by storing fields representing coordinate systems in a separate
batch, we can use these special types without the stated explosion.
This change removes the requirement to specify some maximum cell length
in each of the worklets, which is basically impossible. It also makes
some of the loading more lazy, which might help reduce the number of
registers required in a worklet.
We want to be able to get topological connections where it is difficult
to know how many values you get each time. In this change, the type of
the vector holding the from indices is determined from the connectivity
object, and the worklet does not know the type (it must be templated).
Although you do not need to specify the max number for this value set
(you still currently do for field values), we still need to change the
type for explicit sets that uses something that does not rely on the Vec
class. The cell-to-point method also needs a Vec wrapper that allows it
to shorten the vector dynamically.
In the CellSet and related classes, a connection was referred to by a
"from" topology element and a "to" topology element. However, in the
worklet control signature tags the elements were referred to by "src"
and "dest." To make things consistent, use "from" and "to" everywhere.
Most of VTK-m follows the convention of calling the 0D topology elements
"points" (which follows the convention of VTK). However, there were
several places where they were referred to as "nodes." Make things
consistent by calling them points everywhere.
Also merged some redundant ExecutionSignature tags.
The Invoke of the topology dispatcher is also changed to expect a
concrete cell set (which the DynamicCellSet is automatically cast to)
rather than a connectivity structure. The dispatcher calls the
GetNodeToCellConnectivity method for you. (That is currently the only
one supported.)
CellSetExplicit can now use different storage backends to allow
for cheaper representations of the data. For example a pool of triangles
can now implicit handles for shape and num indices.
This does raise the question if runtime polymorphism is the best approach
for CellSet, or if we should do some from of CRTP.
