Detailed Description

Abstract interface that allows the extraction of a const DMatrixSlice view of an abstract matrix.

This interface is ment to be used by MatrixOp objects that store all of their matrix elements in the local address space or can easily access all of the elements from this process.

Subclasses that store a Fortran compatible dense dense matrix can implement these methods without any dynamic memory allocations. There is no default implementation for these methods so subclasses that derive from this interface must implement these methods.

These methods should never be called directly. Instead, use the helper class type MatrixDenseEncap.

virtual const DMatrixSlice AbstractLinAlgPack::MatrixOpGetGMS::get_gms_view (   )  const [pure virtual]

Get a const view of the abstract matrix in the form DenseLinAlgPack::DMatrixSlice. Returns: On ouput, return will be initialized to point to storage to the dense matrix elements. The output from this function gms_view = this->get_gms_view() must be passed to this->free_gms_view(gms) to free any memory that may have been allocated. After this->free_gms_view(gms_view) is called, gms_view must not be used any longer! Postconditions: return.rows() == this->rows() return.cols() == this->cols() Warning! If a subclass overrides this method, it must also override free_gms_view(). Implemented in AbstractLinAlgPack::MultiVectorMutableDense.

virtual void AbstractLinAlgPack::MatrixOpGetGMS::free_gms_view (  const DMatrixSlice *  gms_view  )  const [pure virtual]

Free a view of a dense matrix initialized from get_gms_view()>/tt>. Parameters: gms_view  [in/out] On input, gms_view must have been initialized from this->get_gms_view(). On output, gms_view will become invalid and must not be used. Preconditions: gms_view must have been initialized by this->get_gms_view) Postconditions: gms_view becomes invalid and must not be used any longer! Implemented in AbstractLinAlgPack::MultiVectorMutableDense.
