Class template field

boost::compute::field

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/compute/functional/field.hpp>

template<typename T> 
class field {
public:
  // types
  typedef T result_type;  // Result type. 

  // construct/copy/destruct
  field(const std::string &);
};

Description

Returns the named field from a value.

The template-type T specifies the field's value type. Note that the value type must match the actual type of the field otherwise runtime compilation or logic errors may occur.

For example, to access the second field in a std::pair<int, float> object:

field<float>("second");

This can also be used with vector types to access individual components as well as perform swizzle operations.

For example, to access the first and third components of an int vector type (e.g. int4):

field<int2_>("xz");
