Detailed Description
template<class T>
class SPUC::Array1D< T >
Templated one-dimensional, numerical array which looks like a conventional C array.
Tempplated one-dimensional, numerical array which looks like a conventional C array. Elements are accessed via the familiar A[i] notation.
Array assignment is by reference (i.e. shallow assignment). That is, B=A implies that the A and B point to the same array, so modifications to the elements of A will be reflected in B. If an independent copy is required, then B = A.copy() can be used. Note that this facilitates returning arrays from functions without relying on compiler optimizations to eliminate extensive data copying.
The indexing and layout of this array object makes it compatible with C and C++ algorithms that utilize the familiar C[i] notation. This includes numerous textbooks, such as Numercial Recipes, and various public domain codes.
This class employs its own garbage collection via the use of reference counts. That is, whenever an internal array storage no longer has any references to it, it is destoryed.
Member Typedef Documentation
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
|
Null constructor. Creates a 0-length (NULL) array. (Reference count is also zero.) |
|
Create a new array (vector) of length n, WIHOUT initializing array elements. To create an initialized array of constants, see Array1D(n,value).
This version avoids the O(n) initialization overhead and is used just before manual assignment.
- Parameters:
-
| n | the dimension (length) of the new matrix. |
|
|
Create a new n-length array, as a view of an existing one-dimensional C array. (Note that the storage for this pre-existing array will never be destroyed by the Aray1DRef class.)
- Parameters:
-
| n | the dimension (length) of the new matrix. |
| a | the one dimensional C array to use as data storage for the array. |
|
|
Create a new array of length n, initializing array elements to constant specified by argument. Most often used to create an array of zeros, as in A(n, 0.0).
- Parameters:
-
| n | the dimension (length) of the new matrix. |
| val | the constant value to set all elements of the new array to. |
|
Member Function Documentation
|
Create a new of existing matrix. Used in B = A.copy() or in the construction of B, e.g. Array1D B(A.copy()), to create a new array that does not share data.
Here is the call graph for this function:
|
|
- Returns:
- the dimension (number of elements) of the array. This is equivalent to dim1() and dim1().
|
template<class T> |
int SPUC::Array1D< T >::dim1 |
( |
|
) |
const [inline] |
|
|
- Returns:
- the dimension (number of elements) of the array. This is equivalent to dim() and dim1().
|
|
Copy the elements to from one array to another, in place. That is B.inject(A), both A and B must conform (i.e. have identical row and column dimensions).
This differs from B = A.copy() in that references to B before this assignment are also affected. That is, if we have
Array1D A(n);
Array1D C(n);
Array1D B(C); // elements of B and C are shared.
then B.inject(A) affects both and C, while B=A.copy() creates a new array B which shares no data with C or A.
- Parameters:
-
| A | the array from which elements will be copied |
- Returns:
- an instance of the modifed array. That is, in B.inject(A), it returns B. If A and B are not conformat, no modifications to B are made.

template<class T> |
int SPUC::Array1D< T >::length |
( |

) |
const [inline] |
|
|
Assign all elemnts of A to a constant scalar. |
template<class T> |
const T & SPUC::Array1D< T >::operator[] |
( |
int |
i |
) |
const [inline] |
|
|
A[i] indexes the ith element of A. The first element is A[0]. If SPUC_BOUNDS_CHECK is defined, then the index is checked that it fall within the array bounds. |
template<class T> |
T & SPUC::Array1D< T >::operator[] |
( |

[inline] |

A[i] indexes the ith element of A. The first element is A[0]. If SPUC_BOUNDS_CHECK is defined, then the index is checked that it falls within the array bounds. |
template<class T> |
int SPUC::Array1D< T >::ref_count |

- Returns:
- the number of arrays that share the same storage area as this one. (Must be at least one.)
