Detailed Description

template<typename Array>
class ecl::Stencil< Array >

A safe windowing class that opens onto array-like containers.

Functions often require access to just a portion of an array. In these cases pointers are typically used, but these end up being dangerous alot of times. The underlying array may disappear, or its size may change and the resulting pointers are left dangling, pointing at rubbish.

This class allows such an operation to be performed with two additional benefits:

Currently this works with anything that measures up to the ecl concept of a container.

Usage:

 typedef Array<int,5> FixedArray;
 typedef Stencil< FixedArray > FixedStencil;

 FixedArray array;
 array << 1,2,3,4,5;
 FixedStencil stencil(array,1,3); // windows from index 1 to 3
 std::cout << stencil[1] << std::endl; // accesses array[2];

Member Function Documentation

template<typename Array>
reference ecl::Stencil< Array >::at ( size_type  i) throw (StandardException) [inline]

Accesses elements in the stencil, 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 431 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

template<typename Array>
const_reference ecl::Stencil< Array >::at ( size_type  i) const throw (StandardException) [inline]

Accesses elements in the stencil, 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 455 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

template<typename Array>
containers::BoundedListInitialiser<value_type,value_type*> ecl::Stencil< Array >::operator<< ( const value_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.
Parameters:
value: the first value to enter , ElementType, ArraySizeinto the array.
Returns:
BoundedListInitialiser : the comma initialiser mechanism.

Definition at line 206 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

template<typename Array>
Stencil<Array>& ecl::Stencil< Array >::operator= ( const Stencil< Array > &  s) [inline]

This either resettles this stencil or copies across to it (depending on the rhs stencil).

The assignment operator has one of two effects - it will either reassign this stencil if both stencils work on the same underlying array, OR it copies across if acting on two different arrays.

Usage:

The first case, resettling:

 Array<char> array(5); array << 1,2,3,4,5;
 Stencil< Array<char> > stencil = array.stencil(1,2);
 stencil = array.stencil(0,3); // Here we can repeat the reassignment

The second case, copying:

 Array<char> array1(5); array1 << 1,2,3,4,5;
 Array<char> array2(6); array2 << 1,2,3,4,5,6;
 Stencil< Array<char> > stencil = array1.stencil(1,2);
 stencil = array2.stencil(2,2); // Here we just flood fill the stencil - make sure the capacity is sufficient!
Parameters:
s
Returns:
Stencil<Array> : a handle to this stencil
Exceptions:
:StandardException : if copying from another stencil/array, throws if size exceeded [debug mode only].

Definition at line 240 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

template<typename Array>
reference ecl::Stencil< Array >::operator[] ( size_type  i) [inline]

Accesses elements in the stencil, returning references to the requested element. This accessor only does range checks in debug mode (NDEBUG is not defined). Compare this with the at() accessor which always checks if the range is exceeded.

Returns:
reference : a reference to the requested element.
Exceptions:
:StandardException : throws if range is requested element is out of range [debug mode only].

Definition at line 398 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

template<typename Array>
const_reference ecl::Stencil< Array >::operator[] ( size_type  i) const [inline]

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

Returns:
const_reference : a constant reference to the requested element.
Exceptions:
:StandardException : throws if range is requested element is out of range [debug mode only].

Definition at line 415 of file stencil/stencil.hpp.

const_reverse_iterator ecl::Stencil< Array >::rbegin ( ) const [inline]

Generates a constant reverse iterator pointing to the end of the array.

Returns:

const unsigned int &  n

const unsigned int &  n 
) const [inline]

Generate a sub-stencil.

Opens another window on this stencil. Using a starting index + size is in line with the way eigen blocks and segments work.

Parameters:
start_index: start of the stencil window.
n: number of elements to include in the window.
