[GeoMechanicsApplication] Removed all unused math utilities #12383
Conversation
The removal of these unused functions fixes many code smells. Also removed unused/incorrect `#include`s from the math utilities file. As a result, several other `#include`s had to be updated as well.

Is there need to have 'KRATOS_API(GEO_MECHANICS_APPLICATION)' now?

You are correct that strictly speaking at the moment there is no need to export this class. However, with the upcoming migration to GTest, I believe it is desirable to have this export in place. Otherwise, we'll need to update the GTest branch to account for that. (The unit test would no longer compile on Windows without this export when we start using GTest.) And I wouldn't want to delay that PR since it got so close to being merged ;-)

I think it actually is, since it has a header and source file. When everything is in the header it works, but if I remember correctly I got linking errors when I didn't export this. At least we had similar issues when splitting processes into header and sources

I have tried to remove the export and rebuild the project, and that worked just fine. The export is just for changing the visibility of the function at the DLL level. As long as the function is being called by other functions that are in the same DLL, the export should not be needed. Only when functions that live in other DLLs need to access this function, the visibility becomes important (or else, linker errors will occur).

Ahh okay, I think I was confused because in the past we needed to add the export when splitting into cpp and header for the processes, probably because they are also used in python then?
In any case it's necessary for gtest so indeed it doesn't really matter.
