The consequence was that if that mutation was the only operator called on some
individual, it was not invalidated, and hence its fitness not recomputed!!!
This is required if you want to use the method getParamWithLongName that allows
one to get a value of a parameter read somewhere else.
After changing 3 calls due to that, I decided to change ALL calls within
the make_xxx functions
in order to evaluate them.
Modified eoEaseyEA accordingly - you can either pass an eoEvalFunc, as
before (it is then encapsulated into an eoPopLoopEval that does the good
old loop on the offspring - or directly pass a full eoPopEvalFunc
Small modification also in make_op_es -> keyword "none" is now recognized
for one of the crossover of either object variables or stdev's
More important, the eoRealVectorBounds, vectorized version (a vector<eoRealBounds *>
has also become an eoPersistent object and now derives from an eoRealBaseVectorBounds
class.
A useful consequence (and actual motivatino) was to be able to have soem
eoValueParam<eoRealVectorBounds> with all possibilities for input
(see doc for Lesson4 in the tutorial for the syntax).
that makes full use of libes.a.
The user guide is in Lesson4 of the tutorial - programmer's guide
will come later.
Plus many small changes here and there
src/es/eoEsGlobalXover.h and src/es/eoEsLocalXover.h for crossover
src/es/make_XXX_es.h for user-input
test/t-eoEsAll.cpp to test
However, an old bug appeared: className was not const in eoGenOp (and derived classes)
so I had to change that throughtout the hierarchy
Changed es.h in src/es into make_es.h (was ambiguous with src/es.h)
Changed the interface of make_genotype - now templatized by the EOT
and not the fitness - this is mandatory for ES genoptypes as it allows to
choose the type of gentype at run-time (from existing types, of course!)
Also moved make_help.cpp into utils dir (otherwise you'd had to maintain
a copy into each representation dir!).
Also: introducing eoRndGenerators.h for eoRndGenerator derived classes:
eoNormalGenerator
eoUniformGenerator
eoBooleanGenerator
eoNegExpGenerator
Note the suffix that are added to aid in determining what these classes do
(a comment starting with // before the class definition is not taken into account)
Also updated the initial overall comment -
and waouw, doxygen generates links there, too! Cool.
Changed the signature of eoMon, eoBin and eoQuadOp to return a bool,
without invalidating fitness. Added a set of invalidators to take over
that job (see for instance eoSGA and eoSGATransform how this can transparantly used)
Derived eoState from eoFunctorStore (for convenience, from a design perspective this may sound wrong)
Added a wrap_op function that does the wrapping for you (see eoOpContainer how this made this functor
exceedingly less hairy). Checked all the tests removed the eoGeneric*Op family (not needed anymore)
and of course changed all the operators to reflect the change (and found a few that didn't
invalidate the fitness, thus really pointing out the advantage of the current approach)
