◆ extension()

std::string PLMD::Tools::extension ( const std::string & s )

Extract the extensions from a file name.

E.g.: extension("pippo.xyz")="xyz". It only returns extensions with a length between 1 and 4 E.g.: extension("pippo.12345")="" whereas extenion("pippo.1234")="1234"; It is also smart enough to detect "/", so that extension("pippo/.t")="" whereas extension("pippo/a.t")="t"

	)

inlinestatic

Fast int power.

		const std::string &	key,
		std::string &	s,
		int	rep = `-1`
	)

static

Retrieve a key from a vector of options.

It finds a key starting with "key=" or equal to "key" and copy the part after the = on s. E.g.: line.push_back("aa=xx"); getKey(line,"aa",s); will set s="xx"

	)

static

Split the line in words using separators.

It also take into account parenthesis. Outer parenthesis found are removed from output, and the text between them is considered as a single word.

◆ unique2raw() [1/2]

template<typename T >

std::vector< T * > PLMD::Tools::unique2raw ( const std::vector< std::unique_ptr< T >> & x )

static

Tool to create a vector of raw pointers from a vector of unique_pointers (const version).

Returning a vector is fast in C++11. It can be used in order to feed a vector<unique_ptr<T>> to a function that takes a vector<T*>.

// some function that takes a vec
void func(std::vector<Data*> & vec);
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Data>> vec;
// func(vec); // does not compile
func(Tools::unique2raw(vec)); // compiles

Notice that the conversion is fast but takes some time to allocate the new vector and copy the pointers. In case the function acting on the vector<T*> is very fast and we do not want to add significant overhead, it might be convenient to store a separate set of raw pointers.

// some function that takes a vec
void func(std::vector<Data*> & vec);
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Data>> vec;

// conversion done only once:
auto vec_ptr=Tools::unique2raw(vec);

for(int i=0;i<1000;i++){
  func(vec_ptr);
}

◆ unique2raw() [2/2]

template<typename T >

std::vector< const T * > PLMD::Tools::unique2raw ( const std::vector< std::unique_ptr< const T >> & x )

static

Tool to create a vector of raw pointers from a vector of unique_pointers.

See the non const version.
