This commit resolves issue SciML#312 by converting accepted_kwargs tuples to Val types for compile-time kwarg filtering, eliminating runtime allocations. Changes: - Modified preprocess_update_func to automatically convert tuple accepted_kwargs to Val types - Updated get_filtered_kwargs to handle missing keys gracefully when using Val types This follows the same pattern introduced in PR SciML#255 for FunctionOperator but extends it to all operators (MatrixOperator, AffineOperator, etc.) by fixing it at the preprocess_update_func level. Before: 9 allocations (272 bytes) when using accepted_kwargs After: 0 allocations 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
This commit makes Val{(...)} the documented and recommended way to
specify accepted_kwargs for zero-allocation kwarg filtering.
Changes:
- Added deprecation warning in preprocess_update_func for plain tuple usage
- Updated all operator docstrings to recommend Val((:kwarg,)) syntax
- Updated examples to use Val approach
- Plain tuples still work but show a deprecation warning (maxlog=1)
The deprecation message clearly explains the migration path and only
shows once per session to avoid spam.

All test files and documentation now use the recommended Val((:kwarg,)) syntax instead of plain tuples. This eliminates deprecation warnings and demonstrates best practices. Updated files: - test/scalar.jl: Updated ScalarOperator test with Val((:dtgamma,)) - test/total.jl: Updated MatrixOperator and DiagonalOperator tests - docs/src/interface.md: Updated example to use Val syntax All tests pass with no deprecation warnings. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Added comprehensive allocation tests to verify the performance improvements from: - PR SciML#316: ComposedOperator @generated function conversion - PR SciML#313: accepted_kwargs with Val types Tests verify that: 1. ComposedOperator mul! and operator calls have minimal allocations (≤1 on Julia 1.11) 2. accepted_kwargs with Val types have controlled allocations (≤6 due to kwarg handling) The tests document expected allocation behavior across Julia versions and demonstrate significant improvement over the original implementations that used tuple splatting. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
