  • preserve_lobound() skips setting lobound when block has any zero-extent dimension
  • eval_to checks for zero volume blocks

Also validated in MPQC: https://github.com/ValeevGroup/mpqc4/pull/666

If any of the extents are zero (lb == up), do not update the lobound, just no-op. But return Derived& to not break the API.
We were already checking the host array volume, also check the block volume to avoid empty blocks.

Pull request overview

Improves robustness of block-expression evaluation/assignment when the selected block has zero tile-volume (empty block), and adds regression tests for these corner cases.

Changes:

  • Add new unit tests covering preserve_lobound and assignments involving empty (zero-volume) blocks.
  • Skip tile-move/copy-in from distributed evaluator when the target block has zero volume.
  • Adjust preserve_lobound handling to avoid issues when operating on empty blocks.

File Description
tests/expressions_impl.h Adds regression tests for empty-block expressions and assignments.
src/TiledArray/expressions/expr.h Avoids moving data into the result for zero-volume blocks.
src/TiledArray/expressions/blk_tsr_expr.h Avoids calling make_tile_range-based lobound logic for empty blocks.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Switches to ranges::all_of from ranges::equal to make things more obvious.
Also, need to make a `p` object here, cannot use auto&& [lb, ub] directly as argument.
