Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class ecl::FiFo< T >

Really simple fifo implementation.

For control programs, fifo is typically used for data storage, moving average and some applications. It uses ecl::Array internally for storage (all exception handling is thus handled by ecl::Array).

Usage:

During the construction of fifo, typically length of buffer may be important.

FiFo<double> fifo(4);
fifo.push_back( data_incoming );

But initial value for whole buffer can be important to you.
Especially if you want to use fifo for moving average,
you should wait for N (length of buffer) incoming of data.
But if you use below code, you can use fifo immediately

@code
FiFo<double> fifo(4, initial_value); // construct with initial value for whole buffer
fifo.push_back( next_data );                // set next data
...                                                                 // calculate the average here

Data access

[0] always return oldest data set from the fifo and [N-1] returns always new data from the fifo once your buffer is full.

FiFo<double> fifo(4);
fifo.push_back(1.0);
fifo.push_back(2.0);
fifo.push_back(3.0);
fifo.push_back(4.0);

std::cout << fifo[0] << std::endl;              // 1.0
std::cout << fifo[3] << std::endl;              // 4.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T>

ecl::FiFo< T >::FiFo ( const unsigned int  length = 0 )

inline

Initialises the fifo, but does not fill it.

Parameters

length

: size of the fifo.

Definition at line 89 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

ecl::FiFo< T >::FiFo ( const unsigned int  length, const T &  value  )

inline

Initialise and fill the fifo.

Parameters

length	: the size of the fifo.
value	: the constant to fill the fifo with.

Definition at line 103 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

virtual ecl::FiFo< T >::~FiFo ( )

inlinevirtual

Default destructor.

Definition at line 111 of file fifo.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>

void ecl::FiFo< T >::fill ( const T &  value )

inline

One-shot fill method.

Parameters

value

: the constant value to fill with.

Definition at line 152 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

unsigned int ecl::FiFo< T >::get_idx ( )

inline

Index of the oldest element in the fifo.

Returns

int : the index.

Definition at line 160 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

T& ecl::FiFo< T >::operator[] ( int  idx )

inline

Returns the indexed value offset from the oldest data.

This ensures that [0] returns always oldest data from the buffer, others will be offset from this.

Parameters

idx

: index

Returns

T& : reference (modifiable) to the indexed element.

Definition at line 122 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

const T& ecl::FiFo< T >::operator[] ( int  idx ) const

inline

Const version of the [] accessor.

Parameters

idx

: index

Returns

const T& : const reference to the indexed element.

Definition at line 132 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

void ecl::FiFo< T >::push_back ( const T &  datum )

inline

Push back onto the fifo.

This will overwrite the oldest element in the fifo.

Parameters

datum

: incoming value.

Definition at line 143 of file fifo.hpp.

template<typename T>

void ecl::FiFo< T >::resize ( unsigned int  length )

inline

Resize the fifo storage.

Parameters

length

: new size.

Exceptions

StandardException

: throws if a zero sized storage is specified.

Definition at line 167 of file fifo.hpp.
