Detailed Description

These are templates to perform various simple operations on arrays.

Note that the compiler will inline these, so using them carries no performance penalty.

Functions
template<class T >
T	clip (const T &value, const T &lower, const T &upper)
	Clip value such that lower <= value <= upper.
template<typename T >
int	sign (T x)
	Sign of a number.
template<class V >
double	dot4 (const V &x, const V &y)
	Templated Inner product of two vectors of length 4.
template<class V >
double	dot5 (const V &x, const V &y)
	Templated Inner product of two vectors of length 5.
template<class InputIter , class InputIter2 >
double	dot (InputIter x_begin, InputIter x_end, InputIter2 y_begin)
	Function that calculates a templated inner product.
template<class InputIter , class OutputIter , class S >
void	scale (InputIter begin, InputIter end, OutputIter out, S scale_factor)
	Multiply elements of an array by a scale factor.
template<class D , class R >
R	poly6 (D x, R *c)
	Templated evaluation of a polynomial of order 6.
template<class D , class R >
R	poly8 (D x, R *c)
	Templated evaluation of a polynomial of order 8.
template<class D , class R >
R	poly5 (D x, R *c)
	Templated evaluation of a polynomial of order 5.
template<class D , class R >
R	poly4 (D x, R *c)
	Evaluates a polynomial of order 4.
template<class D , class R >
R	poly3 (D x, R *c)
	Templated evaluation of a polynomial of order 3.
template<class T , class U = int>
U	len (const T &container)
	Get the size of a container, cast to a signed integer type.

Function Documentation

clip()

template<class T >

T clip ( const T &  value, const T &  lower, const T &  upper  )

inline

Clip value such that lower <= value <= upper.

Definition at line 325 of file global.h.

sign()

template<typename T >

int sign

(

T

x

)

Sign of a number.

Returns -1 if x < 0, 1 if x > 0 and 0 if x == 0.

Definition at line 332 of file global.h.

dot4()

template<class V >

double dot4 ( const V &  x, const V &  y  )

inline

Templated Inner product of two vectors of length 4.

If either x or y has length greater than 4, only the first 4 elements will be used.

Parameters

x	first reference to the templated class V
y	second reference to the templated class V

Returns

This class returns a hard-coded type, double.

Definition at line 40 of file utilities.h.

dot5()

template<class V >

double dot5 ( const V &  x, const V &  y  )

inline

Templated Inner product of two vectors of length 5.

If either x or y has length greater than 4, only the first 4 elements will be used.

Parameters

x	first reference to the templated class V
y	second reference to the templated class V

Returns

This class returns a hard-coded type, double.

Definition at line 55 of file utilities.h.

dot()

template<class InputIter , class InputIter2 >

double dot ( InputIter  x_begin, InputIter  x_end, InputIter2  y_begin  )

inline

Function that calculates a templated inner product.

This inner product is templated twice. The output variable is hard coded to return a double.

template<class InputIter, class InputIter2>

double x[8], y[8];
double dsum = dot<double *,double *>(x, &x+7, y);

Parameters

x_begin	Iterator pointing to the beginning, belonging to the iterator class InputIter.
x_end	Iterator pointing to the end, belonging to the iterator class InputIter.
y_begin	Iterator pointing to the beginning of y, belonging to the iterator class InputIter2.

Returns

The return is hard-coded to return a double.

Definition at line 82 of file utilities.h.

scale()

template<class InputIter , class OutputIter , class S >

void scale ( InputIter  begin, InputIter  end, OutputIter  out, S  scale_factor  )

inline

Multiply elements of an array by a scale factor.

vector<double> in(8, 1.0), out(8);
scale(in.begin(), in.end(), out.begin(), factor);

Parameters

begin	Iterator pointing to the beginning, belonging to the iterator class InputIter.
end	Iterator pointing to the end, belonging to the iterator class InputIter.
out	Iterator pointing to the beginning of out, belonging to the iterator class OutputIter. This is the output variable for this routine.
scale_factor	input scale factor belonging to the class S.
