Detailed Description

template<typename _MtvT>
class mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >

Special-purpose collection of multiple multi_type_vector instances to allow them to be traversed "sideways" i.e. orthogonal to the direction of the vector instances. All involved multi_type_vector instances must be of the same type and length.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

collection()

template<typename _MtvT >

template<typename _T >

mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::collection	(	const _T &	begin,
		const _T &	end
	)

Constructor that takes the start and end iterators of the multi_type_vector instances to reference in the collection.

Parameters

begin	iterator that references the first multi_type_vector instance to place in the collection.
end	iterator that references the position past the last multi_type_vector instance to place in the collection.

Member Function Documentation

begin()

template<typename _MtvT >

const_iterator mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::begin

(

)

const

Return an iterator that references the first element in the collection.

Returns

iterator that references the first element in the collection.

end()

template<typename _MtvT >

const_iterator mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::end

(

)

const

Return an iterator that references the position past the last element in the collection.

Returns

iterator that references the position past the last element in the collection.

set_collection_range()

template<typename _MtvT >

void mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::set_collection_range	(	size_type	start,
		size_type	size
	)

Set the sub-range of the collection to iterate through.

For instance, if the collection consists of 100 multi_type_vector instances, and you want to iterate through only 50 of them starting from the second instance, you set the start index to 1 (as it's 0-based), and the size to 50.

Parameters

start	0-based index of the first multi_type_vector instance to iterate through.
size	length of the collection range i.e. the number of vector instances to iterate through starting from the specified first vector instance.

set_element_range()

template<typename _MtvT >

void mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::set_element_range	(	size_type	start,
		size_type	size
	)

Set the sub element range to iterate through. This limits the element range in each multi_type_vector instance to iterate through. The direction of the element range is orthogonal to the direction of the collection range.

For instance, if the collection consists of multiple multi_type_vector instances all of which have a length of 50, and you only wish to iterate from the 3rd element through the 10th element in each vector instance, then you set the start index to 2 and the size to 8.

Parameters

start	0-based index of the starting element position.
size	length of the element range to iterate through starting from the specified start element position.

size()

template<typename _MtvT >

size_type mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::size

(

)

const

Return the length of the vector instances stored in the collection. This will be equivalent of the length of each multi_type_vector instance, since all stored instances have the same length.

Returns

length of the stored multi_type_vector instances.

swap()

template<typename _MtvT >

void mdds::mtv::collection< _MtvT >::swap

(

collection< _MtvT > &

other

)

Swap the entire collection with another collection instance.

Parameters

other

another collection instance to swap contents with.
