Detailed Description

template<typename ElementType>
class ArrayView< ElementType >

A class that represents a window of memory locations of type ElementType and presents it as if it was an array that can be accessed via an operator[]. In essence, this class is nothing more than just a pointer to the first location and an integer that represents the length of the array in elements. The memory remains owned by whoever allocated it, as this class does not take over ownership.

The advantage of using this class is that you don't have to pass around pairs of pointers and that operator[] checks for the validity of the index with which you subscript this array view.

This class can handle views to both non-constant and constant memory locations. If you want to represent a view of a constant array, then the template argument type of this class needs to be const as well. The following code snippet gives an example:

std::vector<int> array = get_data(); // a writable array
ArrayView<int> view (&array[5], 5); // a view of elements 5..9 (inclusive)
view[2] = 42; // array[7] is set to 42
ArrayView<const int> const_view (&array[5], 5); // same view, but read-only
int element_7 = const_view[2]; // returns 42
const_view[2] = 42; // error, can't write into this view

In either case, accessing an element of a view does not change the ArrayView object itself, and consequently ArrayView::operator[] is a const function. This corresponds to the notion that a view simply represents a, well, "view" of memory that is owned by someone else. Thus, accessing elements of the view changes the memory managed by some other object, but not the view itself, allowing us to make ArrayView::operator[] a const member function. This is in contrast to, say, std::vector, which manages the memory it points to and changing an element of the std::vector therefore changes the std::vector object itself – consequently, the std::vector::operator[] is non-const.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ArrayView() [1/4]

template<typename ElementType >
ArrayView< ElementType >::ArrayView ( value_type starting_element,
const std::size_t  n_elements 
)
inline

Constructor.

Parameters
[in]starting_elementA pointer to the first element of the array this object should represent.
[in]n_elementsThe length (in elements) of the chunk of memory this object should represent.
Note
The object that is constructed from these arguments has no knowledge how large the object into which it points really is. As a consequence, whenever you call ArrayView::operator[], the array view can check that the given index is within the range of the view, but it can't check that the view is indeed a subset of the valid range of elements of the underlying object that allocated that range. In other words, you need to ensure that the range of the view specified by the two arguments to this constructor is in fact a subset of the elements of the array into which it points. The appropriate way to do this is to use the make_array_view() functions.

Definition at line 253 of file array_view.h.

◆ ArrayView() [2/4]

template<typename ElementType >
ArrayView< ElementType >::ArrayView ( const ArrayView< typename std::remove_cv< value_type >::type > &  view)
inline

Copy constructor from array views that point to non-const elements. If the current object will point to non-const elements, then this is a straight forward copy constructor. On the other hand, if the current type's ElementType template argument is a const qualified type, then the current constructor is a conversion constructor that converts a non-const view to a const view, akin to converting a non-const pointer to a const pointer.

Definition at line 265 of file array_view.h.

◆ ArrayView() [3/4]

template<typename ElementType >
ArrayView< ElementType >::ArrayView ( const std::vector< typename std::remove_cv< value_type >::type > &  vector)
inline

A constructor that automatically creates a view from a std::vector object. The view encompasses all elements of the given vector.

This implicit conversion constructor is particularly useful when calling a function that takes an ArrayView object as argument, and passing in a std::vector.

Note
This constructor takes a reference to a const vector as argument. It can only be used to initialize ArrayView objects that point to const memory locations, such as ArrayView<const double>. You cannot initialize ArrayView objects to non-const memory with such arguments, such as ArrayView<double>.

Definition at line 276 of file array_view.h.

◆ ArrayView() [4/4]

template<typename ElementType >
ArrayView< ElementType >::ArrayView ( std::vector< typename std::remove_cv< value_type >::type > &  vector)
inline

A constructor that automatically creates a view from a std::vector object. The view encompasses all elements of the given vector.

This implicit conversion constructor is particularly useful when calling a function that takes an ArrayView object as argument, and passing in a std::vector.

Note
This constructor takes a reference to a non-const vector as argument. It can be used to initialize ArrayView objects that point to either const memory locations, such as ArrayView<const double>, or to non-const memory, such as ArrayView<double>.

◆ make_array_view() [1/23]

template<typename Iterator >
ArrayView< typename std::remove_reference< typename std::iterator_traits< Iterator >::reference >::type > make_array_view ( const Iterator  begin,
const Iterator  end 
)
related

Create an ArrayView that takes a pair of iterators as arguments. The type of the ArrayView is inferred from the value type of the iterator (e.g., the view created from two const iterators will have a const type).

Warning
The iterators begin and end must bound (in the usual half-open way) a contiguous in memory range of values. This function is intended for use with iterators into containers like boost::container::small_vector or std::vector and will not work correctly with, e.g., boost::container::stable_vector or std::deque. In debug mode, we check that the provided iterators represent contiguous memory indeed.

Create a view to an entire row of a Table<2> object. This is equivalent to initializing an ArrayView object with a pointer to the first element of the given row, and the length of the row as the length of the view.

This function is used for const references to objects of Table type because they contain immutable elements. Consequently, the return type of this function is a view to a set of const objects.

Parameters
[in]tableThe Table for which we want to have an array view object. The array view corresponds to an entire row.
[in]rowThe index of the row into the table to which this view should correspond.

Create a view to (a part of) a row of a Table<2> object.

This function is used for non-const references to objects of Table type. Such objects contain elements that can be written to. Consequently, the return type of this function is a view to a set of writable objects.

Parameters
[in]tableThe Table for which we want to have an array view object. The array view corresponds to an entire row.
[in]rowThe index of the row into the table to which this view should correspond.
[in]starting_columnThe index of the column into the given row of the table that corresponds to the first element of this view.
[in]size_of_viewThe number of elements this view should have. This corresponds to the number of columns in the current row to which the view should correspond.
