matlab::data::TypedArray<T>

Templated C++ class to access array data

Description

The templated TypedArray class provides type-safe APIs to handle all MATLAB array types (except sparse arrays). To create a TypedArray, call createArray or createScalar in the ArrayFactory class with one of the templates listed in Template Instantiations.

This class defines the following iterator types:

using iterator = TypedIterator<T>;
using const_iterator = TypedIterator<T const>;

Constructors

Copy Constructor

TypedArray(const TypedArray<T>& rhs)

TypedArray(const Array& rhs)

Description

Creates a shared data copy of the input.

Parameters

const TypedArray<T>& rhs

Value to be copied.

const Array& rhs

Value specified as matlab::data::Array object.

Throws

matlab::data::InvalidArrayTypeException

Type of input Array does not match the type for TypedArray<T>.

Copy Assignment Operator

TypedArray<T>& operator=(const TypedArray<T>& rhs)

TypedArray<T>& operator=(const Array& rhs)

Description

Assigns a shared data copy of the input to this TypedArray<T>.

Parameters

const TypedArray<T>& rhs

Value to be copied.

const Array& rhs

Value specified as matlab::data::Array object.

Returns

TypedArray<T>&

Updated instance.

Throws

matlab::data::InvalidArrayTypeException

Type of input Array does not match the type for TypedArray<T>.

Move Constructor

TypedArray(TypedArray<T>&& rhs)

TypedArray(Array&& rhs)

Description

Moves contents of the input to a new instance.

Parameters

TypedArray<T>&& rhs

Value to be moved.

Array&& rhs

Value specified as matlab::data::Array object.

Throws

matlab::data::InvalidArrayTypeException

Type of input does not match.

Move Assignment Operator

TypedArray<T>& operator=(TypedArray<T>&& rhs)

TypedArray<T>& operator=(Array&& rhs)

Description

Moves the input to this TypedArray<T> object.

Parameters

TypedArray<T>&& rhs

Value to move.

Returns

TypedArray<T>&

Updated instance.

Throws

matlab::data::InvalidArrayTypeException

Type of input Array does not match the type for TypedArray<T>.

Destructor

virtual ~TypedArray()

Iterators

Begin Iterators

iterator begin()

const_iterator begin() const

const_iterator cbegin() const

Returns

iterator

Iterator to beginning of array, specified as TypedIterator<T>.

const_iterator

Iterator, specified as TypedIterator<typename std::add_const<T>::type>.

Throws

None

End Iterators

iterator end()

const_iterator end() const

const_iterator cend() const

Returns

iterator

Iterator to end of array, specified as TypedIterator<T>.

const_iterator

Iterator, specified as TypedIterator<typename std::add_const<T>::type>.

Throws

None

Indexing Operators

operator[]

ArrayElementTypedRef<T, std::is_const<T>::value> operator[](size_t idx)

ArrayElementTypedRef<T, true> operator[](size_t idx) const

Description

Enables [] indexing on a TypedArray. Indexing is 0-based.

Parameters

size_t idx

First array index.

Returns

ArrayElementTypedRef<T, std::is_const<T>::value>

Temporary object containing index specified. If type T is const, then the return value allows the element of the array to be retrieved, but not modified. Otherwise, the element can be modified or retrieved.

ArrayElementTypedRef<T, true>

Temporary object containing index specified. The return value allows the element of the array to be retrieved, but not modified.

Throws

None

Member Functions

release

buffer_ptr_t<T> release()
Description

Release the underlying buffer from the Array. If the Array is shared, a copy of the buffer is made; otherwise, no copy is made. After the buffer is released, the array contains no elements.

Returns

buffer_ptr_t<T>

unique_ptr containing data pointer.

Throws

matlab::data::InvalidArrayTypeException

TypedArray does not support releasing the buffer.

Examples

expand all

Create an array equivalent to the MATLAB array [1 2; 3 4], then replace each element of the array with a single value.

#include "MatlabDataArray.hpp"

int main() {
	matlab::data::ArrayFactory factory;
	// Create an array equivalent to the MATLAB array [1 2; 3 4].
	matlab::data::TypedArray<double> D = factory.createArray<double>({ 2,2 }, { 1,3,2,4 });
	// Change the values.
	for (auto& elem : D) {
		elem = 5.5;
	}
	return 0;
}
