NAME

std::indirect_array - std::indirect_array

Synopsis

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

std::indirect_array is a helper template used by the valarray subscript operator
with std::valarray<std::size_t> argument. It has reference semantics to a subset of
the array whose indices specified by the std::valarray<std::size_t> object.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>

int main()
{
std::valarray<int> data = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};

std::valarray<std::size_t> idx = {0,2,4,6,8};

std::cout << "Original valarray: ";
for(int n: data) std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << '\n';

data[idx] += data[idx]; // double the values at indexes 'idx'

// the type of data[idx] is std::indirect_array<int>

std::cout << "After indirect modification: ";
for(int n: data) std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

Original valarray: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
After indirect modification: 0 1 4 3 8 5 12 7 16 9
