Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Teuchos::Workspace< T >

Templated class for workspace creation.

Objects of this type are what should be created by the user instead of RawWorkspace objects since this class will properly initialize memory using placement new and allows typed operator[] access to the array elements. The default constructor, copy constructor and assignment operations are not allowed and objects can not be allocated with new.

It is important to note that the constructors and destructors will only be called if call_constructors=true (the default) is passed to the consructor Workspace(). For build-in types that do not need constructors and destructors called, the client should pass in call_constructors=false . Otherwise we would have to call constructors and destructors on all of the memory and that could considerably slow things down.

With simple built-in data types (i.e. call_constructors=false) the cost of creating and destroying one of these objects should be O(1) independent of how much data is requested. This is true as long as no dynamic memory has to be allocated (this is determined the object workspace_store passed to the constructor Workspace()).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T> Teuchos::Workspace< T >::Workspace (  WorkspaceStore *  workspace_store, size_t  num_elements, bool  call_constructors = true )  [inline]

Allocates a num_elements array of temporary objects. Parameters: workspace_store  [in] Pointer to the workspace object to get the memory from. This can be NULL in which case new T[] and delete [] will be used instead. num_elements  [in] The number of bytes to allocate. call_consructors  [in] If true then constructors and destructors will be called on the allocated memory. Preconditions: num_element >= 0 (throw std::invalid_argument) Postconditons: this->size() == num_elements [num_elements > 0] this->operator[i], for i = 0,..num_elements-1 points to valid allocated object of type T. [num_elements > 0 && call_constructors==true] this->operator[i], for i = 0,..num_elements-1 was allocated as new (&this->operator[i]) T(). When this object is created the workspace_store object will be used to get the raw memory if workspace_store != NULL. If workspace_store == NULL || workspace_store->num_bytes_remaining() < sizeof(T)*num_elements then this memory will have to be dynamically allocated. The memory is default initialized (or uninitialized) using placement new. The constructor will only be called with placement new if call_constructor == ture. Otherwise, the memory will be left uninitlaized. This is okay for integral types like double and int but not okay for class types like std::string etc. Definition at line 345 of file Teuchos_Workspace.hpp.
