short_m Class Reference

Detailed Description

Mask object to use with short_v objects.

Of the same type as ushort_m.

#include <Vc/short_v>

Public Member Functions
	short_m ()
	default constructor
	short_m (Vc::Zero)
	Constructs a mask with the entries initialized to zero.

	Return the per-entry resulting mask of a logical (in this case same as bitwise) NOT operation.
short_m	operator&= (const short_m &)
	Modify the mask per-entry using a logical (in this case same as bitwise) AND operation.
short_m	operator|= (const short_m &)
	Modify the mask per-entry using a logical (in this case same as bitwise) OR operation.
bool	isFull () const
	Return whether all entries of the mask are one.
bool	isEmpty () const
	Return whether all entries of the mask are zero.
bool	isMix () const
	Return whether the mask is neither full nor empty.
	operator bool () const
	Cast to bool operator.
bool	operator[] (int i) const
	Read-only access to mask entries.

	Returns the index of the first one in the mask.
int	toInt () const
	Convert mask to an integer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

short_m

(

)

default constructor

Leaves the mask uninitialized.

short_m ( bool  b )

explicit

Constructs a mask with the entries initialized to.

• one if b is true
• zero if b is false

Parameters

b	Determines the initial state of the mask.

Member Function Documentation

operator bool

(

)

const

Cast to bool operator.

Returns the same as isFull().

Warning

Be careful with the cast to bool. Often it is better to write explicitly whether you want isFull or !isEmpty or something else. If you define VC_NO_AUTOMATIC_BOOL_FROM_MASK this operator will be disabled, requiring you to explicitly reduce masks to bools.

bool operator[]

(

int

i

)

const

Read-only access to mask entries.

Parameters

i	Determines the boolean to be accessed.

Returns

the i th entry of the mask as a bool.

int toInt

(

)

const

Convert mask to an integer.

Returns

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

E.g. a mask like [true, false, false, true] would result in a 9 (in binary: 1001).
