Detailed Description

Multi-dimensional array view of a contiguous block of member data with the array dimension ordinates documented by "tags".

Author:: H. Carter Edwards hcedwar@sandia.gov

Trivial Example of a Function accepting a 2D Array

Given the user-defined array dimension tags Cartesian3D and Points define a function to find the centroid of an array of points.

  void centroid( const Array<double,FortranOrder,Cartesian3D,Points> points ,
                 const Array<double,FortranOrder,Cartesian3D> x )
  {
    const unsigned nspace  = points.dimension<0>();
    const unsigned npoints = points.dimension<1>();

    for ( unsigned id = 0 ; ip < nspace ; ++id ) {
      x(id) = 0 ;
    }
    for ( unsigned ip = 0 ; ip < npoints ; ++ip ) {
      for ( unsigned id = 0 ; id < nspace ; ++id ) {
        x(id) += points( id , ip );
      }
    }
    for ( unsigned id = 0 ; ip < nspace ; ++id ) {
      x(id) /= npoints ;
    }
  }

Example of User-defined Array Dimension Tags

  struct Cartesian3D : public ArrayDimTag {
    enum { Size = 3 };                // Default size for this dimension.
    const char * name() const ;       // Supply the pure-virtual function.
    static const Cartesian3D & tag(); // Runtime singleton for this tag.
  };

  // Simple tag without a default dimension size:
  SHARDS_ARRAY_DIM_TAG_SIMPLE_DECLARATION( Points )

  // And then in a source file:
  SHARDS_ARRAY_DIM_TAG_SIMPLE_IMPLEMENTATION( Points )

Example of Creating an Array
Given a block of memory for the collection of points, wrap it in an Array.

  double * chunk   = ... ; // Chunk of memory from somewhere
  unsigned npoints = ... ; // containing a number of points

  Array<double,FortranOrder,Cartesian3D,Points> points( chunk , npoints );

The points array has dimension<0> set to Cartesian3D::Size and dimension<1> set to npoints. If the npoints argument where omitted then a compilation error would be generated due to the missing Points::Size enumeration.

Define Documentation

#define SHARDS_ARRAY_DIM_TAG_SIMPLE_DECLARATION ( ADT )

Value:

class ADT : public shards::ArrayDimTag { \
  public: \
    const char * name() const ; \
    static const ADT & tag(); \
  private: \
    ~ADT(); \
    ADT(); \
    ADT( const ADT & ); \
    ADT & operator = ( const ADT & ); \
  };

Macro for declaration of a simple ArrayDimTag.

Parameters:

ADT	name of the tag.

Definition at line 186 of file Shards_Array.hpp.

#define SHARDS_ARRAY_DIM_TAG_SIMPLE_IMPLEMENTATION ( ADT )

Value:

ADT::ADT() {} \
  ADT::~ADT() {} \
  const char * ADT::name() const { static const char n[] = # ADT; return n; } \
  const ADT & ADT::tag() { static const ADT self ; return self ; }

Macro for implementing the body of a simple ArrayDimTag.

Parameters:

ADT	name of the tag.

Definition at line 201 of file Shards_Array.hpp.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum shards::ArrayOrder

Define Natural (C-language) or Fortran ordering of array dimensions. A RankZero array does not have an ordering.

Enumerator:

NaturalOrder	Use the Natural or C-language ordering for multi-dimensions where the right-most dimension is stride-one.
FortranOrder	Use the Reverse or Fortran-language ordering for multi-dimensions where the left-most dimension is stride-one.
RankZero	Special tag to indicate that an array specification has degenerated to rank-zero, i.e. is no longer an array.
