Detailed Description

template<class Scalar>
class Thyra::ExplicitVectorView< Scalar >

This utility class makes it easy to explicitly access a contiguous subset of elements in any const VectorBase object.

Warning! Creating an explicit view of an arbitrary VectorBase object may be a very expensive operation (such as with distributed-memory vectors) and should only be done in special cases (such as when the vector is an in-core vector). There several specialized use cases where creating these types of explicit views are necessary but in most cases this should not be done.

The following functions show four different ways to extract a range of elements from in any const VectorBase object and copy then into a raw C++ array:

 //
 // Copy using unit-strided pointer access
 //
 template<class Scalar>
 void copyToArrayPointerUnit(
   const Thyra::VectorBase<Scalar>   &v
   ,const Thyra::Range1D             &rng
   ,Scalar                           x[]   // Size == rng.size()
   )
 {
    Thyra::ExplicitVectorView<Scalar> v_ev(v,rng,true);  // Force unit stride
    const Scalar *v_ptr = v_ev.values();                 // Get pointer to unit-stride data
    for( int k = 0; k < n; ++k )                         // For each element in view:
      x[k] = v_ptr[k];                                   //   Copy elements
    // When this function returns then v_ev will be destroyed and the view will be freed
 }

 //
 // Copy using non-unit-strided pointer access
 //
 template<class Scalar>
 void copyToArrayPointerNonunit(
   const Thyra::VectorBase<Scalar>   &v
   ,const Thyra::Range1D             &rng
   ,Scalar                           x[]   // Size == rng.size()
   )
 {
    Thyra::ExplicitVectorView<Scalar> v_ev(v,rng);           // Allow non-unit stride
    const Scalar        *v_ptr    = v_ev.values();           // Get pointer to non-unit-stride data
    const Thyra::Index  *v_stride = v_ev.stride();           // Get stride between vector data
    for( int k = 0; k < rng.size(); ++k, v_ptr += v_stride ) // For each element in view:
      x[k] = *v_ptr;                                         //   Copy elements
    // When this function returns then v_ev will be destroyed and the view will be freed
 }

 //
 // Copy using possibly non-unit stride with zero-based overloaded function operator[]()
 //
 template<class Scalar>
 void copyToArrayZeroBasedOperator(
   const Thyra::VectorBase<Scalar>   &v
   ,const Thyra::Range1D             &rng
   ,Scalar                           x[]   // Size == rng.size()
   )
 {
    Thyra::ExplicitVectorView<Scalar> v_ev(v,rng);       // Allow non-unit stride 
    for( int k = 0; k < rng.size(); ++k )                // For each element in view:
      x[k] = v_ev[k];                                    //   Copy elements using operator[]()
    // When this function returns then v_ev will be destroyed and the view will be freed
 }

 //
 // Copy using possibly non-unit stride with one-based overloaded function operator()()
 //
 template<class Scalar>
 void copyToArrayOneBasedOperator(
   const Thyra::VectorBase<Scalar>   &v
   ,const Thyra::Range1D             &rng
   ,Scalar                           x[]   // Size == rng.size()
   )
 {
    Thyra::ExplicitVectorView<Scalar> v_ev(v,rng);       // Allow non-unit stride 
    for( int k = 0; k < rng.size(); ++k )                // For each element in view:
      x[k] = v_ev(k+1);                                  //   Copy elements using operator()()
    // When this function returns then v_ev will be destroyed and the view will be freed
 }

If one wants to modify the elements in a VectorBase object then one should use the utility class ExplicitMutableVectorView.

The default constructor, copy constructor and assignment operators are not allowed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class Scalar>
Thyra::ExplicitVectorView< Scalar >::ExplicitVectorView	(	const VectorBase< Scalar > &	v,
		const Range1D &	rng = `Range1D()`,
		const bool	forceUnitStride = `false`
	)	`[inline]`

Construct an explicit non-mutable (const) view of a subset of elements.

Parameters:

	v	[in] The vector that a view will be taken. This object must be maintained until `*this` is destroyed.
	rng	[in] the range of element indices that the explicit view will be taken.
	forceUnitStride	[in] If `true` then the view will have unit stride.

Preconditions:

[rng.full_range()==false] rng.ubound() <= v.space()->dim()

Postconditions:

this->sv() returns the created view
this->globalOffset()==rng.lbound()-1
this->subDim()==rng.size()
this->values() returns a pointer to a Scalar array
this->stride() returns the stride between the elements pointed it in this->values()
[forceUnitStride==true] this->stride()==1
