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!!!
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 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)
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
- added the eoNormMutation, simple normal mutation for simple real variables
