.. highlight:: c
array and array_view : the general cuboid n-dimensional array
====================================================================================================================
array and array_view :
* are the standard d-dimensional cuboid array and the corresponding view.
* allow **custom memory ordering** at compile time.
* model the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
Template parameters
----------------------------
* The classes have three template parameters.
.. code-block:: c
template <typename ValueType, int Rank, typename Opt= Option::Default > class array_view;
template <typename ValueType, int Rank, typename Opt= Option::Default > class array;
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
Template parameter Accepted type Access in the class Meaning
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
ValueType normally a scalar, but any default value_type The type of the element of the array
constructible type (?).
Rank int rank The rank of the array
Opt Option::options< ...> opt_type Compile time options, see below.
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
Options template parameters are described :ref:`here <option_template>`.
.. _array_constructors:
Constructors of array
---------------------------
* Intentionally, array and array_view have only a few constructors :
========================================== ===========================================================================================
Constructors of array Comments
========================================== ===========================================================================================
array() - Empty array of size 0
array(size_t, ...., size_t) - From the dimensions [number of parameters checked at compile time].
Does **NOT** initialize the array elements to 0 ! (see compile time option)
Use my_array() =0 to do it explicitely.
array(cuboid_domain<rank> const &) - New array with the corresponding domain
array(const array &) - Copy construction
array(PyObject * X) - Construct a new array from the Python object X.
NB : X is a borrowed reference, array does affect its counting reference.
- it takes a **copy** of the data of X (or of numpy(X)) into C++.
- X is first transformed into a numpy by the python numpy lib itself
(as if you call numpy.array(X)) if X is not a numpy array or an array of the wrong type
(e.g. you construct an array<double,2> from a numpy of int....), and
copied into the array.
array(const T & X) - Type T models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
- X must have the appropriate domain (checked at compile time).
- Constructs a new array of domain X.domain() and fills it with evaluation of X.
========================================== ===========================================================================================
.. warning::
The constructor from the dimensions does **NOT** initialize the matrix to 0
(because it may not be optimal).
If needed, do it explicitely by (a if the array) `a()=0`;
* Examples ::
array<int,2> A(10,2);
A()=0; // init the array to 0
array<int,2, Option::Fortran> Af (2,2);
//Higher dim, custom order :
array<long, 3, Option::options<Option::memory_order <2,1,0> > > A0 (2,3,4);
array<long, 3, Option::options<Option::memory_order <0,1,2> > > A1 (2,3,4);
array<long, 3, Option::options<Option::memory_order <1,0,2> > > A2 (2,3,4);
array<long, 3 > A3 (2,3,4);
array<long, 3, Option::Fortran > A4 (2,3,4);
// if Obj is boost::python object
array<double,2> A (Obj.ptr());
.. _array_constructors:
Constructors of array_views
----------------------------------------------
Automatic construction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
array_view are normally automatically constructed by making (partial) views, ref:`Slicing`, e.g. ::
array<int,2> A(2,2);
A(range(),2) ; // --> this makes a view...
A() ; // --> this makes a view over the full array
Explicit construction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To explicitly make a view of an array, use make_view or the ()::
array<int,2> A(2,2);
make_view(A); //-> a view...
make_view(A) = 13 ; // to assign e.g.
A() = 13; // same thing...
====================================================================== =====================================================================================================
Constructors of array_view Comments
====================================================================== =====================================================================================================
array_view(const array_view &) - Copy construction (shallow copy)
array_view(const T & X) - `[Advanced]` T is any type such that X.indexmap() and X.storage() can be used to construct a view.
array_view(indexmap_type const & I, S_type const &) - `[Advanced]` From a couple of indexmap I and storage of type S_type.
