Apart from big changes in the src/ga dir, and the addition of the src/do dir
it also generated a few changes here and there, e.g. some include file still
missing. Also removed some warning from some test files.
To be able to use the primitive std::generate function, added a
set of wrappers in eoSTLFunctor.h that have the copy semantics most
STL functions expect (namely pass-by-value rather then pass-by-reference).
Updated test/Makefile.am to also test t-eoRandom
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
2 new important classes: eoPerf2Worth and eoSelectFromWorth
Instances of eoPerf2Worth are eoRanking and eoLinearFitScaling.
Coming soon (piece of cake now) are the niching strategies (sharing, clearing)
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)
make check
Command I picked up in the automake documentation (RTFM, you know)
Tagged a lot of header functions in the GnuPlot files with 'inline',
so they can be used from more than one sourcefile.
Ok, now the interesting news. Started a new library libga (not to be confused
with Matthew's GaLib). Here I suggest we put a fairly complete and configurable
genetic algorithm. Just to see how far we can stretch ourselves and also to have
a GA-componenent that can be used in other applications without having to rebuild
the entire thing. test/t-eoGA.cpp tests this library
I also changed
- the eoQuadratic into eoQuad (as dicussed with Maarten)
- the eoBin into eoBit, with more appropriate names for the "binary"
operators (that can be unary!) as no one protested when I posted on
eodev list
eo everything that is general to any representation
es.h everything about real representation (in es dir)
ga.h everything related to bitstring representation (in ga dir)
To be continued by gp.h, and ...
This has lead to some slight modifications in test file eobin and all tutorial
examples files...
This impacts on many files, creating new entries in src (the old ones are moved
to obsolete dir), modifying t-eoSymreg.cpp and t-eobin.cpp in test,
as well as gprop.cc and mastermind.cc in app dir (not to mention almost all
files in tutorial:-(
