Compatibility with STL and iterators, Interaction with STL
##################################################################
The arrays are compatible with STL containers and algorithms.
Iterators
================
Standard iterators are provided that model the boost Mutable_ForwardIterator and ForwardIterator concepts
(and hence are STL compliant).
The iterator implements also two additionnal methods :
* it can be casted to a bool : it is true iif the iteration is not at end.
* it.indices() : returns const & to the indices at the point of the iteration.
Examples::
array<long,2> A (2,3);
for (auto it = A.begin(); it; ++it) *it =it.indices()[0] + 10 *it.indices()[1] ;
//for (array<long,2>::iterator it = A.begin(); it; ++it) *it =it.indices()[0] + 10 *it.indices()[1] ;
Indices generators
================================
The domain have an index generator that enumerates the indices in the domain.
Examples::
array<long,2> A (2,3);
for (auto it = A.indexmap().domain().begin(); it; ++it) cout<<" "<<*it<<endl;
The indices can also be produces in a custom order ::
typedef IndexMaps::cuboid_index_generator< array<long,2>::indexmap_type::domain_type, Permutations::permutation<0,1> > it_type;
for (it_type it(A.indexmap().domain()); it; ++it) cout<<" "<<*it<<endl;
.. warning::
improve this : too long, by passing a parameter ... of the Permutation type.... with default, not used, to begin....
something like :
for (auto it = A.indexmap().domain().begin(permutation<0,1>()); it; ++it) cout<<" "<<*it<<endl;
Using STL containers and algorithms
===================================================================
* `Regular classes` have a standard value semantics, which enable them
to be used in STL containers, like vector, list, map, unordered_map ...
.. warning::
Views can not be used in STL containers. They have no default constructors.
* For example, one can make a vector of arrays ... ::
array<long,2> A (2,3);
std::vector<array<long,2> > VV;
VV.push_back(A);
* ... or a map ::
std::map<string, array<long,2> > MAP;
MAP["1"] = A;
* We can put a std::vector in an array ... ::
std::vector<int> V (10);
array<int,1 > B(V.size()), C(V.size());
std::copy(V.begin(),V.end(),B.begin());
* ... or in reverse ::
std::copy(B.begin(),B.end(),V.begin());
* ... or use other algorithms of std::
bool te(int x) { return (x<25);}
//....
cout<<" max(B) "<< *std::max_element(B.begin(),B.end())<<endl;
std::replace_if (B.begin(), B.end(), te, 0);
std::swap(B,C);
.. warning::
It works, but it may not be optimal. For example, swap is certainly not optimal [ to be improved].
