◆ extension()

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

static

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"

◆ fastpow()

double PLMD::Tools::fastpow	(	double	base,
		int	exp
	)

inlinestatic

Fast int power.

◆ findKeyword()

		const std::string &	key
	)

static

Find a keyword on the input line, just reporting if it exists or not.

◆ getKey()

		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"

◆ getline()

bool PLMD::Tools::getline	(	FILE *	fp,
		std::string &	line
	)

static

Get a line from the file pointer ifile.

◆ getParsedLine()

bool PLMD::Tools::getParsedLine	(	IFile &	ifile,
		std::vector< std::string > &	line
	)

static

Get a parsed line from the file pointer ifile This function already takes care of joining continued lines and splitting the resulting line into an array of words.

		const char *	sep = `NULL`,
		int *	parlevel = `NULL`,
		const char *	parenthesis = `"{"`
	)

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. Only the outer parenthesis are processed, to allow nesting them. parlevel, if not NULL, is increased or decreased according to the number of opened/closed parenthesis

static

Find a keyword on the input line, eventually deleting it, and saving its value to a vector.

◆ pbc()

		const std::string &	start
	)

static

Check if a string full starts with string start.

Same as full.find(start)==0

◆ stripLeadingAndTrailingBlanks()

void PLMD::Tools::stripLeadingAndTrailingBlanks ( std::string & str )

static

removes leading and trailing blanks from a string

◆ trim()

void PLMD::Tools::trim ( std::string & s )

static

Remove trailing blanks.

void PLMD::Tools::trimComments ( std::string & s )

static

Remove trailing comments.

◆ 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.
