It is no longer derived from eoPop, it now gets a destination population.
This saves a lot of copying. The semantics has changed a little as well. It is
now an _infinite_ iterator. operator++ will *not* dispense new individuals, but
will merely stay at the end. To get a new indy, use operator*() as before.
eoEasyEA now checks the checkpoint *after* making a generation and clears the offspring
eoGeneralBreeder is changed to reflect the changes in eoPopulator
eoSequentialSelect now uses setup() rather than init()
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)
(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)
