Detailed Description

template<class T, Tsize N>
class aff::SimpleRigidArray< T, N >

A very basic rigid array class (with deep inline copy).

This class is intensively used by the array classes, in particular by the Shape category. Shape categories need to hold a set of index ranges (e.g.) in an array with array dimension depending on the dimensionality of the array. The arrays used for this purpose should be rigid, i.e. their dimension is defined during compile time and they usually perform no heap allocation on their own (an thus may also be used with stack memory). aff::util::SimpleRigidArray serves for this purpose.

Note

To pass index values to a aff::Array (during construction or access), we pass a SimpleRigidArray of appropriate dimension N. To fill this array we would either need to provide specializations with the appropriate number of constructor arguments or fill each element after the other. Both approaches range from inconvenient to impossible.

For examples to use SimpleRigidArray see tests/simplearraytest.cc

Note

If you use the default constructor, the values are uninitialized. There is no hidden mechanism to set the values to 0 or other meaningful value!

Parameters

T	element type
N	dimension of the array

Functions to manipulate SimpleRigidArray objects are provided in aff::util::Inline and aff::util::Inline2 which are presented in lib/rawarfun.h
