Detailed Description

template<typename Type, std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>
class ecl::Array< Type, Size >

Fixed size container with a few bells and whistles.

All of the stl arrays are dynamically sizable, which means they are stored on the heap which is generally much slower for access/write operations than one which is stored on the stack. However, the stl provides no option for a fixed size container which take advantage of this, so this class provides that option. Essentially, its simply a fixed size array with a few bells and whistles.

Initialisation

We use the comma initialiser (similar to that used in Blitz++ and Eigen2) here for convenient initialisation. However there are other mechanisms, the most interesting of which is Boost's Array class which uses a normal aggregate initialiser (like that of a struct with curly braces). I did some tests to compare the performance of both, and both perform similarly. Since there was no real difference in performance I chose the comma initialiser here as it can also be used after construction and will provide a consistent means of initialisation seeing as we also use Eigen in the Math module. If you're in for strict c++ layouts, then the comma initialiser also lets you hide the base c array as a private member (the aggregate initialiser only works when your base c array is a public member).

Array<int,4> array; // At this point it is uninitialised.

array = 1,2,3,4; // If NDEBUG is not defined, this will throw if you exceed the range.

Error Handling

Arrays will throw exceptions whenever an operation performs an out of range operation. For most operations, this will only occur in debug mode, so release mode will run at full speed. The only exception to this is the accessor function, which provides a handle that will always throw if safety is always required.

int i = array[2]; // If NDEBUG is not defined, this will throw if you exceed the range.

int i = array.at(2); // This will always throw if you exceed the range.

Template Parameters

Type	: the type of the element stored in the array.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Array() [1/2]

template<typename Type , std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>

ecl::Array< Type, Size >::Array ( )

inline

Default constructor that simply allocates memory, but leaves all the element uninitialised.

Definition at line 138 of file array_no_mem_check.hpp.

◆ Array() [2/2]

template<typename Type , std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>

template<typename T >

ecl::Array< Type, Size >::Array ( const blueprints::ArrayBluePrint< T > & blueprint )

inline

Blueprint constructor.

Constructor that allows automatic generation of the array from an existing blueprint. This can be used simply in the following manner for any static element belonging to the BluePrintFactory.

Array<int,4> array = Array<int,4>::Constant(3);

Since this is not explicit, it will also allow assignment.

Array<int,4> array;

array = Array<int,4>::Constant(3);

This will emit a compile time failure if the template argument does not conform to the blueprint concept (refer to ecl_concepts documentation).

Parameters

blueprint : the blue print to use to generate this instance.

See also: ArrayFactory.

Member Function Documentation

◆ at() [1/2]

template<typename Type , std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>

reference ecl::Array< Type, Size >::at ( size_type i )

inline

Accesses elements in the array, returning references to the requested element. This accessor always does range checks. Compare this with the [] accessor which only checks if NDEBUG is not defined.

Parameters

i	: the index of the requested element.

Returns: reference : a reference to the requested element.

Exceptions

StandardException : throws if range is requested element is out of range.

Definition at line 315 of file array_no_mem_check.hpp.

◆ at() [2/2]

template<typename Type , std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>

const_reference ecl::Array< Type, Size >::at ( size_type i ) const

inline

Accesses elements in the array, returning references to the requested element. This accessor always does range checks. Compare this with the [] accessor which only checks if NDEBUG is not defined. This also ensures the references are constant, which in turn ensures the contents cannot of the array cannot be modified.

Parameters

i	: the index of the requested element.

Returns: const_reference : a const_reference to the requested element.

Exceptions

StandardException : throws if range is requested element is out of range.

Definition at line 333 of file array_no_mem_check.hpp.

template<typename Type , std::size_t Size = DynamicStorage>

containers::BoundedListInitialiser<Type,Type*,Size> ecl::Array< Type, Size >::operator<< ( const Type & value )

inline

Provides a comma initialisation facility. This initiates the comma initialiser with an iterator to the underlying array and then leaves the initialiser to do the rest. The initialiser will do range checking if NDEBUG is not defined.

Array<int,4> array; // At this point it is uninitialised.

array << 1,2,3,4; // If NDEBUG is not defined, this will throw if you exceed the range.
