Detailed Description

template<class T>
class OpenSim::Array< T >

A class for storing an array of values of type T.

The capacity of the class grows as needed. To use this template for a class of type T, class T should implement the following methods: default constructor, copy constructor, assignment operator (=), equality operator (==), and less than operator (<).

◆ computeNewCapacity()

template<class T >
bool OpenSim::Array< T >::computeNewCapacity ( int  aMinCapacity,
int &  rNewCapacity 
)
inline

Compute a new capacity that is at least as large as a specified minimum capacity; this method does not change the capacity, it simply computes a new recommended capacity.

If the capacity increment is negative, the current capacity is doubled until the computed capacity is greater than or equal to the specified minimum capacity. If the capacity increment is positive, the current capacity increment by this amount until the computed capacity is greater than or equal to the specified minimum capacity. If the capacity increment is zero, the computed capacity is set to the current capacity and false is returned.

Parameters
rNewCapacityNew computed capacity.
aMinCapacityMinimum new computed capacity. The computed capacity is incremented until it is at least as large as aMinCapacity, assuming the capacity increment is not zero.
Returns
True if the new capacity was increased, false otherwise (i.e., if the capacity increment is set to 0).

◆ getSize()

◆ insert()

template<class T >
int OpenSim::Array< T >::insert ( int  aIndex,
const T &  aValue 
)
inline

Insert a value into the array at a specified index.

This method is relatively computationally costly since many of the array elements may need to be shifted.

Parameters
aValueValue to be inserted.
aIndexIndex at which to insert the new value. All current elements from aIndex to the end of the array are shifted one place in the direction of the end of the array. If the specified index is greater than the current size of the array, the size of the array is increased to aIndex+1 and the intervening new elements are initialized to the default value that was specified at the time of construction.
Returns
Size of the array after the insertion.

◆ operator=()

template<class T >
Array<T>& OpenSim::Array< T >::operator= ( const Array< T > &  aArray)
inline

Assign this array to a specified array.

This operator makes a complete copy of the specified array; all member variables are copied. So, the result is two identical, independent arrays.

Parameters
aArrayArray to be copied.
Returns
Reference to this array.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, OpenSim::Array< T >::_capacity, OpenSim::Array< T >::_capacityIncrement, OpenSim::Array< T >::_defaultValue, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ operator==()

template<class T >
bool OpenSim::Array< T >::operator== ( const Array< T > &  aArray) const
inline

Determine if two arrays are equal.

Two arrays are equal if their contents are equal. That is, each array must be the same length and their corresponding array elements must be equal.

Parameters
aArrayArray to be tested as equal.
Returns
True if equal, false if not equal.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ operator[]()

template<class T >
T& OpenSim::Array< T >::operator[] ( int  aIndex) const
inline

Get the array element at a specified index.

This overloaded operator can be used both to set and get element values:

Array<T> array(2);
T value = array[i];
array[i] = value;

This operator is intended for accessing array elements with as little overhead as possible, so no error checking is performed. The caller must make sure the specified index is within the bounds of the array. If error checking is desired, use Array::get().

Parameters
aIndexIndex of the desired element (0 <= aIndex < _size).
Returns
Reference to the array element.
See also
get().

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array.

◆ remove()

template<class T >
int OpenSim::Array< T >::remove ( int  aIndex)
inline

Remove a value from the array at a specified index.

This method is relatively computationally costly since many of the array elements may need to be shifted.

Parameters
aIndexIndex of the value to remove. All elements from aIndex to the end of the array are shifted one place toward the beginning of the array. If aIndex is less than 0 or greater than or equal to the current size of the array, no element is removed.
Returns
Size of the array after the removal.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, OpenSim::Array< T >::_defaultValue, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ rfindIndex()

template<class T >
int OpenSim::Array< T >::rfindIndex ( const T &  aValue) const
inline

Linear search in reverse for an element matching a given value.

Parameters
aValueValue to which the array elements are compared.
Returns
Index of the array element matching aValue. If there is more than one such elements with the same value the index of the last of these elements is returned. If no match is found, -1 is returned.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ searchBinary()

template<class T >
int OpenSim::Array< T >::searchBinary ( const T &  aValue,
bool  aFindFirst = false,
int  aLo = -1,
int  aHi = -1 
) const
inline

Search for the largest value in the array that is less than or equal to a specified value.

If there is more than one element with this largest value, the index of the first of these elements can optionally be found, but this can be up to twice as costly.

This method assumes that the array element values monotonically increase as the array index increases. Note that monotonically increase means never decrease, so it is permissible for elements to

A binary search is performed (i.e., the array is repeatedly subdivided into two bins one of which must contain the specified until the appropriate element is identified), so the performance of this method is approximately ln(n), where n is the size of the array.

Parameters
aValueValue to which the array elements are compared.
aFindFirstIf true, find the first element that satisfies the search. If false, the index of any element that satisfies the search can be returned- which index will be returned depends on the length of the array and is therefore somewhat arbitrary. By default, this flag is false.
aLoLowest array index to consider in the search.
aHiHighest array index to consider in the search.
Returns
Index of the array element that has the largest value that is less than or equal to aValue. If there is more than one such elements with the same value and aFindFirst is set to true, the index of the first of these elements is returned. If an error is encountered (e.g., the array is empty), or the array contains no element that is less than or equal to aValue, -1 is returned.

◆ set()

template<class T >
void OpenSim::Array< T >::set ( int  aIndex,
const T &  aValue 
)
inline

Set the value at a specified index.

Parameters
aIndexIndex of the array element to be set. It is permissible for aIndex to be past the current end of the array- the capacity will be increased if necessary. Values between the current end of the array and aIndex are not initialized.
aValueValue.

◆ setCapacityIncrement()

template<class T >
void OpenSim::Array< T >::setCapacityIncrement ( int  aIncrement)
inline

Set the amount by which the capacity is increased when the capacity of of the array in exceeded.

If the specified increment is negative, the capacity is set to double whenever the capacity is exceeded.

Parameters
aIncrementDesired capacity increment.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_capacityIncrement.

◆ setSize()

template<class T >
bool OpenSim::Array< T >::setSize ( int  aSize)
inline

Set the size of the array.

This method can be used to either increase or decrease the size of the array. If this size of the array is increased, the new elements are initialized to the default value that was specified at the time of construction.

Note that the size of an array is different than its capacity. The size indicates how many valid elements are stored in an array. The capacity indicates how much the size of the array can be increased without allocated more memory. At all times size <= capacity.

Parameters
aSizeDesired size of the array. The size must be greater than or equal to zero.

◆ size()

template<class T >
int OpenSim::Array< T >::size ( ) const
inline

Alternate name for getSize().

References OpenSim::Array< T >::getSize().

◆ trim()

template<class T >
void OpenSim::Array< T >::trim ( )
inline

Trim the capacity of this array so that it is one larger than the size of this array.

This is useful for reducing the amount of memory used by this array. This capacity is kept at one larger than the size so that, for example, an array of characters can be treated as a NULL terminated string.

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, OpenSim::Array< T >::_capacity, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ updElt()

template<class T >
T& OpenSim::Array< T >::updElt ( int  aIndex) const
inline

Get a writable reference to value at a specified array index.

If the index is negative or passed the end of the array, an exception is thrown.

For faster execution, the array elements can be accessed through the overloaded operator[], which does no bounds checking.

Parameters
aIndexIndex of the desired array element.
Returns
Writable reference to the array element.
Exceptions
Exceptionif (aIndex<0)||(aIndex>=_size).
See also
operator[].

References OpenSim::Array< T >::_array, and OpenSim::Array< T >::_size.

◆ updLast()

template<class T >
T& OpenSim::Array< T >::updLast ( ) const
inline

Get writable reference to last value in the array.

Returns
writable reference to Last value in the array.
Exceptions
Exceptionif the array is empty.
