Bounded Namespace Reference

---

Detailed Description

Namespace for types with well-specified bounds, either enforced or nominal.

A design criterion is that the memory footprint of an instance of each class must be no larger than the size of its underlying type. As a result, no virtual functions can be used, since the size of the virtual function table is quite large compared to the size of e.g. a char. (Inheritance from a base type also seems to increase the class size in GCC, at least for chars, so that too should usually be avoided.)

Compounds
class	BoundedString
	Simple wrapper for a C array of characters that acts like a regular string, but has a fixed maximum size (silently cropping) and a c_str() pointer that can be passed around safely. More...
struct	Crop
	Function object wrapper (a Boundary) for Generic::crop. More...
class	Float
	Bounded number with floating-point type. More...
class	Integer
	Bounded number with integral type. More...
struct	Wrap
	Function object wrapper (a Boundary) for Generic::wrap. More...
Typedefs
typedef long	LargeInt
	Encompassing integral type; numeric Bounded classes can only accept integral values up to those representable in this type.
typedef double	LargeFloat
	Encompassing floating-point type; numeric Bounded classes can only accept floating-point values up to those representable in this type.
typedef double	Magnitude
	Generic type for a real-valued magnitude on the scale 0 to 1.0.
Functions
template<size_t N, class T> std::ostream &	operator<< (std::ostream &s, const BoundedString< N, T > &b)
	Stream output for a BoundedString.

typedef double Bounded::Magnitude

Generic type for a real-valued magnitude on the scale 0 to 1.0. Larger or smaller values are acceptable (boundaries are not enforced) but are not always meaningful.
