Return a suitable width for displaying stuff on the standard output.

If max_width > 0, return that value as is.

If max_width <= 0, return the width of the screen (or default width) as given by the environment variable COLUMNS, minus the absolute value of the given number. [E.g. if the screen width is 100, then if maxwidth=-4, then return 96.]

Definition at line 569 of file cxxutil.h.

§ installSignalHandler()

void Tomographer::Tools::installSignalHandler ( int  signum,
SignalHandler sobj 
)
inline

Installs the given signal handler to catch the signal signum.

If other handlers are alreay set for a different signal number, they are not overridden.

Definition at line 190 of file signal_handler.h.

§ isFinite()

template<typename X >
bool Tomographer::Tools::isFinite ( const X  val)
inline

Test whether floating-point value is finite.

Potentially extends std::isfinite() in that we can specialize the template for custom types.

§ isPositive()

template<typename X >
std::enable_if<std::is_unsigned<X>::value, bool>::type Tomographer::Tools::isPositive ( const X  )
inline

Definition at line 360 of file cxxutil.h.

§ multiplicationWillOverflow()

template<typename IntType >
constexpr bool Tomographer::Tools::multiplicationWillOverflow ( IntType  a,
IntType  b 
)
inline

Test whether a multiplication of two integers will cause an overflow/underflow for that integer type.

Return true if the multiplication a*b cannot be represented using IntType, false otherwise.

Definition at line 453 of file cxxutil.h.

§ operator<<() [1/2]

template<typename T >
std::ostream& Tomographer::Tools::operator<< ( std::ostream str,
const StoreIfEnabled< T, false > &   
)
inline

C++ Stream operators for StoreIfEnabled.

Produces human-readable output.

This implementation kicks in if the value is not streamable, and simply outputs the fixed string "[-]".

Definition at line 294 of file cxxutil.h.

§ operator<<() [2/2]

template<typename T >
std::ostream& Tomographer::Tools::operator<< ( std::ostream str,
const StoreIfEnabled< T, true > &  val 
)
inline

C++ Stream operators for StoreIfEnabled.

Produces human-readable output.

This implementation kicks in if the value is indeed streamable, and outputs the given value into the stream.

Definition at line 307 of file cxxutil.h.

§ powersOfTwo()

template<typename Der , typename... IndexTypes>
auto Tomographer::Tools::powersOfTwo ( IndexTypes...  sizes) -> const Eigen::CwiseNullaryOp< tomo_internal::powers_of_two_generator<typename Eigen::internal::traits<Der>::Scalar>, Der >
inline

Expression for a 1-D expression of powers of two.

An Eigen template expression yielding powers of two as a column vector. The \( i\) -th item is \( 2^i \).

Parameters
sizesYou may either specify the length of the vector (1 parameter), or the size of a column matrix (2 parameters, the second being equal to one).

If you specify a 2-D matrix size here (not a column or row vector), then the elements of the matrix are populated linearly with powers of two (with linear access, i.e. by default column-wise).

Definition at line 307 of file eigenutil.h.

§ replicated()

template<int RowFactorCTime, int ColFactorCTime, typename Derived , typename std::enable_if<(RowFactorCTime==Eigen::Dynamic||ColFactorCTime==Eigen::Dynamic), bool >::type dummy = true>
auto Tomographer::Tools::replicated ( const Eigen::DenseBase< Derived > &  x,
int  row_factor,
int  col_factor 
) -> const Eigen::Replicate<Derived, Eigen::Dynamic, Eigen::Dynamic>
inline

Replicate a Eigen Dense object; same call for compile-time & run-time dimensions.

See replicated<RowFactorCTime, ColFactorCTime, Derived, dummy>

Allow our libraries to use the same syntax, for example

Eigen::Matrix<...> m_replicated = replicated<1,ColFactorAtCompileTime>(matrix, 1, col_factor);

for replicating a matrix for which one might, or might not, know the factor at compile time.

The corresponding factor template parameter should be either Eigen::Dynamic or a fixed value. If a fixed value is given, you need to specify the same value in the runtime argument (done as an eigen_assert() check, i.e. this is compiled out if -DNDEBUG is used)

This is the implementation for fixed RowFactorCTime and ColFactorCTime.

Definition at line 344 of file eigenutil.h.

§ streamIfPossible() [1/2]

template<typename T >
_Unspecified Tomographer::Tools::streamIfPossible ( const T &  obj)
inline

Utility to stream an object, but only if "<<" overload exists.

You may use this function in a sequence of objects passed to a std::ostream, so that the object gets printed if it is streamable and it is ignored if not. The return type of this function is guaranteed to be streamable for any type T.

A typical use of this function is to generate debugging messages in generic templated classes for which the data type is not certain to be streamable.

Example use:

Eigen::Matrix2d m(Eigen::Matrix2d::Identity());
struct NotStreamable { int a, b, c; };
NotStreamable x;
std::cout << "The identity matrix is = \n" << streamIfPossible(m) << "\n"
<< "And the value of x is = " << streamIfPossible(x) << "\n";

Would output:

Definition at line 311 of file fmt.h.

§ streamIfPossible() [2/2]

template<typename T >
_Unspecified Tomographer::Tools::streamIfPossible ( const T &  obj,
std::string  before,
std::string  after = std::string(),
std::string  alternative = "<"+std::string(typeid(T).name())+">" 
)
inline

A slightly more sophisticated alternative to streamIfPossible()

With this wrapper, you can also specify text to add before and after the object if it is streamed, and you can specify the alternative text to display if the object is not streamable.

Example:

MyObjectType obj(..);
std::cout << "Hello !"
<< StreamIfPossibleWrapper(obj, "\nobject is = ", "\n", " [not streamable]\n")
<< "Done !\n";

might give you either

  Hello!
  object is = ..... string representation of MyObjectType .....
  Done !

if the object type MyObjectType is streamable, or

  Hello! [not streamable]
  Done !

if it is not.

Specify the object const reference in obj, the string to display before the object's string representation (before), the string to display after the object's string representation (after), and the alternative string to display if the object is not streamable (alternative).

Definition at line 346 of file fmt.h.

§ tomographerEnsure()

template<typename ExceptionClass = std::runtime_error>
void Tomographer::Tools::tomographerEnsure ( bool  condition,
std::string  message 
)
inline

Ensure that a condition is met, or throw an exception.

If condition is true, no action is taken. If condition is false, then an instance of the exception ExceptionClass is thrown. The exception is instantiated using message as parameter.

Template Parameters
ExceptionClassis the exception to throw if the given condition is false
Parameters
conditioncontrols whether to throw an error (if its value is false)
messageis the string to pass on to the exception class if condition is false

Definition at line 755 of file cxxutil.h.

§ vfmts()

std::string Tomographer::Tools::vfmts ( const char *  fmt,
va_list  vl 
)
inline

printf- formatting to a std::string, with va_list pointer

Does safe allocation, etc.

Definition at line 87 of file fmt.h.
