vector and vector_view
============================
vector and vector_view :
* are the class for a vector and the corresponding view.
* model the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
Template parameters
----------------------------
* The classes have two template parameters.
.. code-block:: c
template <typename ValueType, typename Opt = Option::Default> class vector_view;
template <typename ValueType, typename Opt = Option::Default> class vector;
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
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 vector
constructible type (?).
Opt Option::options< ...> opt_type Compile time options, see below.
============================ ================================== ========================== ====================================================================
Options template parameters are described :ref:`here <option_template>`.
The memory order is obviously useless here...
.. _vector_constructors:
Constructors
-----------------
Intentionally, vector and vector_view have only a few constructors :
========================================== ===========================================================================================
Constructors of vector Comments
========================================== ===========================================================================================
vector() - empty vector of size 0
vector(size_t) - from the dimension. Does **NOT** initialize the elements of the vector to 0 !
vector(const vector &) - copy construction
vector (PyObject * X) - Construct a new vector from the data of the Python object X.
NB : X is a borrowed reference, vector 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 vector<double> from a numpy of int....).
vector(const T & X) - Type T models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept.
- X must have the appropriate domain (checked at compile time).
- Constructs a new vector of domain X.domain() and fills it with evaluation of X.
========================================== ===========================================================================================
* Examples ::
vector<int> A(10,2);
A()=0; // init A to 0
.. warning::
The constructor from the dimensions does **NOT** initialize the vector to 0
(because it may not be optimal).
If needed, do it explicitely by `a()=0`;
Constructors of vector_views
----------------------------------------------
Automatic construction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
vector_view are normally automatically constructed by making (partial) views, ref:`Slicing`, e.g. ::
tqa::vector<int> 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 vector, use make_view ::
vector<int> A(2,2);
make_view(A) //-> a view...
make_view(A) = 13 ; // to assign e.g.
====================================================================== ===========================================================================================================
Constructors of vector_view Comments
====================================================================== ===========================================================================================================
vector_view(const array_view &) - Copy construction (shallow copy)
vector_view(const T & X) - `[Advanced]` T is any type such that X.indexmap() and X.storage() can be used to construct a view.
