◆ NewBaseArray() [1/5]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewBaseArray	(	const DataType &	elementType,
		const Generic *	src,
		Bool	move
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal BaseArray implementation. All elements will be in a single contiguous memory block.

The implementation has to obtain the container type from the given element type. In performance-critical code you should do that yourself outside of the performance-critical part and use the method NewBaseArrayFromContainerType.

Parameters

[in]	elementType	The element type of the array.
[in]	src	A pointer to a BaseArray<T> where T matches the given element type. This will be used to initialize the new array by copying or moving the elements. If src is nullptr, the new array will be empty.
[in]	move	If true, src will be moved into the new array. Note that this has to make a const_cast of the src parameter.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewBaseArray() [2/5]

static Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewBaseArray	(	const DataType &	type,
		Int	size = `0`,
		COLLECTION_RESIZE_FLAGS	flags = `COLLECTION_RESIZE_FLAGS::DEFAULT`
	)

static

Creates a new array of the given size which uses an internal BaseArray implementation. All elements will be in a single contiguous memory block and have default-initialized values.

The implementation has to obtain the container type from the given element type. In performance-critical code you should do that yourself outside of the performance-critical part and use the method NewBaseArrayFromContainerType.

Parameters

[in]	type	The element type of the array.
[in]	size	The initial size of the array.
[in]	flags	Flags for the initial resize operation.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewBaseArrayFromContainerType()

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewBaseArrayFromContainerType	(	const ContainerDataType<> &	containerType,
		const Generic *	src,
		Bool	move
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal BaseArray implementation. All elements will be in a single contiguous memory block.

This method requires to pass the container type instead of the element type, but it's faster than NewBaseArray. To obtain the container type from an element type, you can use this code:

ContainerDataType<> t = ParametricTypes::ContainerInterface().Instantiate(elementType) iferr_return;

iferr_return

#define iferr_return

Definition: resultbase.h:1519

Parameters

[in]	containerType	The container type of the array.
[in]	src	A pointer to a BaseArray<T> where T matches the array's element type. This will be used to initialize the new array by copying or moving the elements. If src is nullptr, the new array will be empty.
[in]	move	If true, src will be moved into the new array. Note that this has to make a const_cast of the src parameter.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewBlockArray() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewBlockArray	(	const DataType &	elementType,
		const Generic *	src,
		Bool	move
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal BlockArray implementation. Not all element types are supported. You can use NewPagedArray for a similar implementation which has the possibility to share copy-on-write blocks among several arrays.

Parameters

[in]	elementType	The element type of the array. Not all element types are supported.
[in]	src	A pointer to a BlockArray<T> where T matches the given element type. This will be used to initialize the new array by copying or moving the elements. If src is nullptr, the new array will be empty.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewBlockArray() [2/2]

static Result<typename Array<T>::NonConst> NewBlockArray ( )

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal BlockArray implementation. Not all element types are supported. You can use NewPagedArray for a similar implementation which has the possibility to share copy-on-write blocks among several arrays.

Template Parameters

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewPagedArray() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewPagedArray	(	const DataType &	elementType,
		const Generic *	defaultValue = `nullptr`,
		Bool	useRefCountForDefault = `false`
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal implementation based on copy-on-write pages, see NewPagedArray. You can use this overload when you don't want to provide a base array for default values but just a single default value.

The implementation has to obtain the container type from the given element type. In performance-critical code you should do that yourself outside of the performance-critical part and use the method NewBaseArrayFromContainerType.

Parameters

[in]	elementType	The element type of the array.
[in]	defaultValue	A pointer to a value of the given element type. This will be used as default value for non-existing pages. If this is nullptr, the null value of the element type will be used.
[in]	useRefCountForDefault	If true, defaultValue will be held by a strong reference internally. In this case the reference count has to be at least 1 when you call the method.

Returns: Newly created paged array.

◆ NewPagedArrayFromContainerType()

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> NewPagedArrayFromContainerType	(	const ContainerDataType<> &	containerType,
		const Generic *	defaultValue = `nullptr`,
		Bool	useRefCountForDefault = `false`
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal implementation based on copy-on-write pages, see NewPagedArray. You can use this overload when you don't want to provide a base array for default values but just a single default value.

This method requires to pass the container type instead of the element type, but it's faster than NewPagedArray. To obtain the container type from an element type, you can use this code:

ContainerDataType<> t = ParametricTypes::ContainerInterface().Instantiate(elementType) iferr_return;

Parameters

[in]	containerType	The container type of the array.
[in]	defaultValue	A pointer to a value of the given element type. This will be used as default value for non-existing pages. If this is nullptr, the null value of the element type will be used.
[in]	useRefCountForDefault	If true, defaultValue will be held by a strong reference internally. In this case the reference count has to be at least 1 when you call the method.

Returns: Newly created paged array.

◆ NewPagedArray() [2/2]

static Result<typename Array<T>::NonConst> NewPagedArray ( )

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal implementation based on copy-on-write pages, see NewPagedArray.

Template Parameters

T	Element type of the array to create.

Returns: Newly created paged array.

◆ Slice() [1/3]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic> > Slice	(	const Array< Generic > &	base,
		Int	start,
		Int	end,
		Bool	cycle,
		const Generic *	defaultValue = `nullptr`,
		Bool	useRefCountForDefault = `false`
	)

static

Creates a new array which is a slice (or even an extension) of a given base array.

For a usual slice start and end index are within the index range of the underlying base array. E.g. if the base array has the four elements ABCD, start is 1 and end is 3, the slice has two elements BC.

But you can also extend the base array at its ends. If we change start to -2 and end to 9 in the previous example, there are two extra elements before the base array and 5 behind. The extra elements are filled as follows:

If cycle is true, the base array is repeated, so in the example we get the elements CDABCDABCDA.
Otherwise, if there's a default value, this is used, so in the example we get XXABCDXXXXX where X is the default value.
Otherwise the first and last element of the base are repeated, so we get AAABCDDDDDD.

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	start	The start index within base (inclusive), can be negative.
[in]	end	The end index within base (exclusive), can be larger than the size of base.
[in]	cycle	True if the base array shall be repeated to obtain values outside of the original index range of the base.
[in]	defaultValue	A pointer to a value of the given element type. This will be used as default value for indices outside of the original index range of the base. If this is nullptr, the first and last element of the base are repeated for indices outside of the original index range of the base.
[in]	useRefCountForDefault	If true, defaultValue will be held by a strong reference internally. In this case the reference count has to be at least 1 when you call the method.

Returns: Newly created sliced array.

◆ Slice() [2/3]

static Result<Array<T> > Slice	(	const Array< T > &	base,
		Int	start,
		Int	end
	)

static

Creates a new array which is a slice of a given base array, see Slice.

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	start	The start index within base (inclusive), has to be within the index range of base.
[in]	end	The end index within base (exclusive), has to be within the index range of base.

Returns: Newly created sliced array.

◆ Slice() [3/3]

static Result<Array<T> > Slice	(	const Array< T > &	base,
		Int	start,
		Int	end,
		Bool	cycle,
		const T *	defaultValue = `nullptr`,
		Bool	useRefCountForDefault = `false`
	)

static

Creates a new array which is a slice (or even an extension) of a given base array, see Slice.

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	start	The start index within base (inclusive), can be negative.
[in]	end	The end index within base (exclusive), can be larger than the size of base.
[in]	cycle	True if the base array shall be repeated to obtain values outside of the original index range of the base.
[in]	defaultValue	A pointer to a value of the given element type. This will be used as default value for indices outside of the original index range of the base. If this is nullptr, the first and last element of the base are repeated for indices outside of the original index range of the base.
[in]	useRefCountForDefault	If true, defaultValue will be held by a strong reference internally. In this case the reference count has to be at least 1 when you call the method.

Template Parameters

T	Element type of the array to create.

Returns: Newly created sliced array.

◆ NewSingleValueArray() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic> > NewSingleValueArray	(	const ConstDataPtr &	value,
		Int	count,
		const ContainerDataType<> &	containerType = `GetPtrSizedZeroRef< ContainerDataType<>>()`
	)

static

Creates a new array where all elements have the same single value. This saves memory because only a single element has to be allocated.

To improve performance you can pass the array's container type to the optional parameter containerType. To obtain the container type from an element type, you can use this code:

ContainerDataType<> t = ParametricTypes::ContainerInterface().Instantiate(elementType) iferr_return;

Parameters

[in]	value	The value to use for the array.
[in]	count	The size of the array. The value will be repeated count times, but without the need to make an allocation for that many elements.
[in]	containerType	The container type of the array. Can be a null reference, then the container type will be constructed from the value's type.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ NewSingleValueArray() [2/2]

static Result<Array<T> > NewSingleValueArray	(	const T &	value,
		Int	count
	)

static

Creates a new array where all elements have the same single value. This saves memory because only a single element has to be allocated.

Parameters

[in]	value	The value to use for the array.
[in]	count	The size of the array. The value will be repeated count times, but without the need to make an allocation for that many elements.

Template Parameters

T	Element type of the array to create.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ ExtractMember() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic> > ExtractMember	(	const Array< Generic > &	base,
		Int	offset,
		const ContainerDataType<> &	containerType
	)

static

Creates a new array where the elements are members of the elements of an underlying array. For example if the underlying array has elements of type Vector, you can extract the x, y and z members as arrays without the need to allocate memory for the extracted elements, because the memory of the underlying array will be used. You'd have to pass 0, sizeof(Float), or 2*sizeof(Float) to the offset parameter for x, y or z, respectively. From a Vector array you could also extract xy or yz as a Vector2d array, but not xz due to the memory layout of the Vector class.

The method expects the container type of the new array as parameter. To obtain the container type from an element type, you can use this code:

ContainerDataType<> t = ParametricTypes::ContainerInterface().Instantiate(elementType) iferr_return;

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	offset	The offset (in bytes) of the member within the element type of the base array.
[in]	containerType	The container type of the array.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ ExtractMember() [2/2]

static Result<Array<DST> > ExtractMember	(	const Array< SRC > &	base,
		Int	offset
	)

static

Creates a new array where the elements are members of the elements of an underlying array, see ExtractMember.

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	offset	The offset (in bytes) of the member within the element type of the base array.

Template Parameters

DST	Type of the member.
SRC	Element type of the base array. Usually this template parameter is deduced by the compiler.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ Reinterpret() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic> > Reinterpret	(	const Array< Generic > &	base,
		const ContainerDataType<> &	containerType
	)

static

Creates a new array where the elements are taken from an underlying array, but interpreted as a different type. The types have to be compatible regarding their memory layout, constructors and destructors. For example Vector and Color or ObjectRef and InputStreamRef are compatible, but ObjectRef and ObjectInterface* aren't. No new memory for the elements will be allocated.

The returned new array will hold a strong reference on the base array unless the base is a paged array: Then a clone of the base is returned (so that pages are shared) but with the new type.

If you want to reinterpret array elements when memory layout is compatible, but constructors or destructors aren't (such as for the case ObjectRef and ObjectInterface*), you can use the ExtractMember method with an offset of 0.

The method expects the container type of the new array as parameter. To obtain the container type from an element type, you can use this code:

ContainerDataType<> t = ParametricTypes::ContainerInterface().Instantiate(elementType) iferr_return;

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained.
[in]	containerType	The container type of the array.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ Reinterpret() [2/2]

static Result<Array<DST> > Reinterpret ( const Array< SRC > & base )

static

Creates a new array where the elements are taken from an underlying array, but interpreted as a different type, see Reinterpret.

Parameters

[in] base The base array from where elements shall be obtained.

Template Parameters

DST	Element type of the array to create.
SRC	Element type of the base array. Usually this template parameter is deduced by the compiler.

Returns: Newly created array.

◆ PrivateNewPagedArrayFromBase() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic>::NonConst> PrivateNewPagedArrayFromBase	(	const Array< Generic > &	base,
		const Generic *	defaultValue = `nullptr`,
		Bool	useRefCountForDefault = `false`
	)

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal implementation based on copy-on-write pages. This implementation has the following features:

The array elements are stored in pages of fixed size.
Pages are copy-on-write, which means that they can be shared among several paged arrays (e.g. when you make a copy of a paged array).
Pages are allocated when needed for write access. Whenever there is no page yet for a read access to an index range, an underlying base array is used instead, or a default element value. Thus paged arrays can be used for sparse arrays.

Warning: In general write access is NOT thread-safe because of the page management. However you can call the MakeElementsWritable method in advance to ensure that an index range is directly writable (no further need of page allocation). Afterwards write access to the index range is thread-safe.

Parameters

[in]	base	The base array from where elements shall be obtained when the paged array itself hasn't set values for the elements yet.
[in]	defaultValue	A pointer to a value of the given element type. This will be used as default value for non-existing pages. If this is nullptr, the null value of the element type will be used.
[in]	useRefCountForDefault	If true, defaultValue will be held by a strong reference internally. In this case the reference count has to be at least 1 when you call the method.

Returns: Newly created paged array.

◆ PrivateNewPagedArrayFromBase() [2/2]

static Result<typename Array<T>::NonConst> PrivateNewPagedArrayFromBase ( const Array< T > & base )

static

Creates a new array which uses an internal implementation based on copy-on-write pages, see NewPagedArray.

Parameters

[in] base The base array from where elements shall be obtained when the paged array itself hasn't set values for the elements yet.

Template Parameters

T	Element type of the array to create.

Returns: Newly created paged array.

◆ ConvertToSingleBlock() [1/2]

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Array<Generic> > ConvertToSingleBlock ( const Array< Generic > & source )

static

Converts the source array to an array which uses a single memory block with default stride. In other words, the block returned by {array.GetBlock(0, block)} represents the whole array.

If the source array already fulfills that condition, it is returned directly.

Parameters

[in] source The array to convert to single block array.

Returns: Converted array, it's guaranteed to consist of exactly one block.

◆ ConvertToSingleBlock() [2/2]

static Result<Array<T> > ConvertToSingleBlock ( const Array< T > & source )

static

Converts the source array to an array which uses a single memory block with default stride. In other words, the block returned by {array.GetBlock(0, block)} represents the whole array.

If the source array already fulfills that condition, it is returned directly.

Parameters

[in] source The array to convert to single block array.

Returns: Converted array, it's guaranteed to consist of exactly one block.
