NAME

std::gslice_array - std::gslice_array

Synopsis

Defined in header <valarray>
template< class T > class gslice_array;

std::gslice_array is a helper template used by the valarray subscript operator with
std::gslice argument. It has reference semantics to a subset of the array specified
by the std::gslice object.

Example

// Run this code

#include <cassert>
#include <cstddef>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <numeric>
#include <valarray>

int main()
{
std::valarray<int> data(32);
std::iota(std::begin(data), std::end(data), 0);

const std::size_t offset = 1, z = 2, y = 3, x = 4;
const std::valarray<std::size_t> sizes{z, y, x};
const std::valarray<std::size_t> strides{15, 5, 1};
const std::gslice gslice = std::gslice(offset, sizes, strides);
// indices are generated according to the formula:
// index[k] = offset + [0,1,2)*15 + [0,1,2,3)*5 + [0,1,2,3,4)*1
// = offset + inner_product(sizes[k], strides);
// where sizes[k] = {[0,z), [0,y), [0,x)}, while the rightmost index (x)
// runs fastest. As a result we have following set of indices:
// index[0] = 1 + 0*15 + 0*5 + 0*1 = 1
// index[1] = 1 + 0*15 + 0*5 + 1*1 = 2
// index[2] = 1 + 0*15 + 0*5 + 2*1 = 3
// index[3] = 1 + 0*15 + 0*5 + 3*1 = 4
// index[4] = 1 + 0*15 + 1*5 + 0*1 = 6
// index[5] = 1 + 0*15 + 1*5 + 1*1 = 7
// index[6] = 1 + 0*15 + 1*5 + 2*1 = 8
// index[7] = 1 + 0*15 + 1*5 + 3*1 = 9
// ...
// index[22] = 1 + 1*15 + 2*5 + 2*1 = 28
// index[23] = 1 + 1*15 + 2*5 + 3*1 = 29

const std::valarray<int> indices = data[gslice];
for (unsigned i=0; i != indices.size(); ++i) {
std::cout << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << indices[i] << ' ';
}
std::cout << "\nTotal indices: " << indices.size() << '\n';
assert(indices.size() == x*y*z);

data = 0;
std::gslice_array<int> gslice_array = data[gslice];
gslice_array = 1;
// Cells that correspond to generated indices = '1', skipped cells = '0'.
for (auto i : data) { std::cout << i << ' '; }
std::cout << "\nSum of ones = " << data.sum() << '\n';
}
