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.
Did a bit of renaming of the support classes used for
WorkletPointNeighborhood. First, the OnBoundary tag is changed to
Boundary to match other tags and reflect some changes in the resulting
methods. Also moved the BoundaryState and Neighborhood classes from
vtkm::exec::arg to vtkm::exec to be more accessible. Finally, the
Neighborhood class name was changed to FieldNeighborhood to be more
specific on what role this class plays with neighborhood.
Previously, WorkletPointNeighborhood had a template argument to select
the size of the neighborhood. This change removes that template
argument. Instead, the vtkm::exec::arg::BoundaryState methods now take
in a size parameter when determining when it overlaps the boundary.
If in the future we want to add the ability to select the neighborhood
size at compile-time (for performance reasons), I suggest adding this
template argument to the OnBoundary tag for ExecutionSignature.
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.
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.

accordingly.
