Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Mask ( )

inlinedefault

Construct a zero-initialized vector object.

This constructor follows the behavior of the underlying bool type in that the expression bool() zero-initializes the object (to false). On the other hand the variable x in bool x; is uninitialized. Since, for class types, both expressions call the default constructor Mask<T> x must zero-initialize x as well.

Mask ( VectorSpecialInitializerZero )

inlineexplicit

Zero-initialize the new mask object (false).

See also: Vc::Zero, Zero()

Mask ( VectorSpecialInitializerOne )

inlineexplicit

Initialize the new mask object to one (true).

See also: Vc::One, One()

Mask ( bool b )

inlineexplicit

Broadcast constructor.

Set all components of the new mask object to b.

Parameters

b	Determines the initial state of the mask.

Mask	(	U &&	otherMask,
		Common::enable_if_mask_converts_implicitly< T, U >	= `nullarg`
	)

inline

Implicit conversion from a compatible (equal \(\mathcal{W}_\mathtt{T}\) on every platform) mask object.

Parameters

otherMask The mask to be converted.

Mask	(	U &&	otherMask,
		Common::enable_if_mask_converts_explicitly< T, U >	= `nullarg`
	)

inlineexplicit

Explicit conversion (static_cast) from a mask object that potentially has a different \(\mathcal{W}_\mathtt{T}\).

Parameters

otherMask The mask to be converted.

Mask ( const bool * mem )

inlineexplicit

Load constructor from an array of bool.

This constructor implements an explicit conversion from an array of booleans to a mask object. It corresponds to a Vector load constructor.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.

See also: Mask(const bool *, Flags), load(const bool *)

Mask	(	const bool *	mem,
		Flags	flags
	)

inlineexplicit

Overload of the above with a load/store flag argument.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.
flags	Choose a combination of flags such as Vc::Aligned, Vc::Streaming, Vc::Unaligned, Vc::PrefetchDefault, ...

See also: load(const bool *, Flags)

Member Function Documentation

static constexpr size_t size ( )

inlinestatic

Returns the number of boolean components ( \(\mathcal{W}_\mathtt{T}\)) in a mask of this type.

The size of the mask. I.e. the number of boolean entries in the mask. Do not make any assumptions about the size of masks.

In addition, you can easily use if clauses that compare sizes. The compiler can statically evaluate and fully optimize dead code away (very much like #ifdef, but with syntax checking).

Returns: The number of components (i.e. \(\mathcal{W}_\mathtt{T}\)) objects of this mask type store and manipulate.

Definition at line 58 of file mask.h.

static Mask Zero ( )

inlinestatic

Creates a new mask object initialized to zero/false.

Returns: A mask object with zero-initialized components.

static Mask One ( )

inlinestatic

Creates a mask object initialized to one/true.

Returns: A mask object with components initialized to true.

void load ( const bool * mem )

inline

Load the components of the mask from an array of bool.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.

See also: load(const bool *, Flags), Mask(const bool *)

void load	(	const bool *	mem,
		Flags	flags
	)

inline

Overload of the above with a load/store flag argument.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.
flags	Choose a combination of flags such as Vc::Aligned, Vc::Streaming, Vc::Unaligned, Vc::PrefetchDefault, ...

See also: Mask(const bool *, Flags)

void store ( bool * mem ) const

inline

Store the values of the mask to an array of bool.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.

See also: store(bool *, Flags)

void store	(	bool *	mem,
		Flags	flags
	)		const

inline

Overload of the above with a load/store flag argument.

Parameters

mem	A pointer to the start of the array of booleans.
flags	Choose a combination of flags such as Vc::Aligned, Vc::Streaming, Vc::Unaligned, Vc::PrefetchDefault, ...

bool operator== ( const Mask< T, Abi > & mask ) const

inline

Returns whether the two masks are equal in all components.

Parameters

mask	The other mask to compare against.

Returns: A scalar boolean value that says whether all components of the two masks are equal.

Note: If you expected a behavior similar to the compare operator of Vc::Vector, consider that the bitwise operators already implement such functionality. There is little use, typically, in having a == b return the same as a ^ b. In general, it is more useful to query all_of(a ^ b) which is the same as this equality operator.

bool operator!= ( const Mask< T, Abi > & mask ) const

inline

Returns whether the two masks are different in at least one component.

Parameters

mask	The other mask to compare against.

Returns: A scalar boolean value that says whether at least one component of the two masks is different.

Note: (a == b) == !(a != b) holds

See also: Mask::operator==(const Mask &)

EntryReference operator[] ( size_t index )

inline

Lvalue-reference-like access to mask entries.

Parameters

index Determines the boolean to be accessed.

Returns: a temporary proxy object referencing the index th entry of the mask.

Warning: This operator does not return an lvalue reference (to bool), but rather a temporary (rvalue) object that mimics an lvalue reference (as much as is possible with C++11/14).

EntryType operator[] ( size_t index ) const

inline

Read-only access to mask entries.

Parameters

index Determines the boolean to be accessed.

Returns: The index th entry of the mask as a bool (rvalue).

Warning: This operator does not return an lvalue reference (to const bool), but rather a temporary (rvalue) bool.

int firstOne ( ) const

inline

Returns the index of the first one in the mask.

Returns: the index of the first component that is true.

Warning: The return value is undefined if the mask is empty.

Thus, unless none_of(mask), mask[mask.firstOne()] == true holds and mask[i] == false for all i < mask.firstOne().

int toInt ( ) const

inline

Convert the boolean components of the mask into bits of an integer.

Returns: An int where each bit corresponds to the boolean value in the mask.

For example, the mask [true, false, false, true] results in a 9 (in binary: 1001).
