TypeTraits

Poplar classes and functions.

A VectorList is a list of vectors with a specific layout and with the usage semantics of a 2D vector.

A 1D vector must be laid out in a contiguous memory region. A 2D vector is a vector of 1D vectors. Each of these 1D vectors that make up a 2D vector is called a “sub-vector” for the remainder of this document. The elements of a 2D vector can be accessed by indexing the 2D vector along the outer and inner dimensions as A[outer][inner].

The following two categories of layouts are supported:

VectorListLayout::DELTANELEMENTS is a memory efficient 2D vector layout. For legacy systems VectorListLayout::DELTAN served a similar purpose. Each sub-vector must be laid out as a contiguous memory region but the sub-vectors may may not be laid out contiguous with respect to each other in memory. Each sub-vector may have a different length.
VectorListLayout::ONE_PTR and other VectorListLayout layouts that are prefixed by SCALED_PTR are for Poplar runtime use only.
