tech.v3.datatype.struct

Structs are datatypes composed of primitive datatypes or other structs. Similar to records except they do not support string or object columns, only numeric values. They have memset-0 initialization, memcpy copy semantics. For correct equals, hashing, convert struct into a normal persistent map via into.

Example:

user> (require '[tech.v3.datatype :as dtype])
nil
user> (require '[tech.v3.datatype.struct :as dt-struct])
nil
user> (dt-struct/define-datatype! :vec3 [{:name :x :datatype :float32}
                                         {:name :y :datatype :float32}
                                         {:name :z :datatype :float32}])
{:datatype-size 12,
 :datatype-width 4,
 :data-layout
 [{:name :x, :datatype :float32, :offset 0, :n-elems 1}
  {:name :y, :datatype :float32, :offset 4, :n-elems 1}
  {:name :z, :datatype :float32, :offset 8, :n-elems 1}],
 :layout-map
 {:x {:name :x, :datatype :float32, :offset 0, :n-elems 1},
  :y {:name :y, :datatype :float32, :offset 4, :n-elems 1},
  :z {:name :z, :datatype :float32, :offset 8, :n-elems 1}},
 :datatype-name :vec3}
user> (dt-struct/new-struct :vec3)
{:x 0.0, :y 0.0, :z 0.0}
user> (.put *1 :x 2.0)
nil
user> *2
{:x 2.0, :y 0.0, :z 0.0}

array-of-structs->column

(array-of-structs->column ary-of-structs propname)

column-map

(column-map ary)

Given an array of structs, return a map that maps the property to a primitive buffer for that column. This is appropriate for passing directly into ->dataset.

datatype->host-type

(datatype->host-type dt)

Structs allow size-t, offset-t, and pointer datatypes so this is an ovveride you have to use when working with them.

datatype-size

(datatype-size datatype)

Return the size, in bytes, of a datatype.

datatype-width

(datatype-width datatype)

Return the width or the of a datatype. The width dictates what address the datatype can start at when embedded in another datatype.

define-datatype!

(define-datatype! datatype-name datatype-seq)

Define a new struct datatype.

  • datatype-name - keyword datatype name.
  • datatype-seq - Sequence of maps with the keys {:name :datatype} which describe the new datatype.

Returns the new struct defintion.

Example:

(define-datatype! :vec3 [{:name :x :datatype :float32}
                         {:name :y :datatype :float32}
                         {:name :z :datatype :float32}])

(define-datatype! :segment [{:name :begin :datatype :vec3}
                            {:name :end :datatype :vec3}])

get-struct-def

(get-struct-def datatype)

Get a previously constructed struct definition.

inplace-new-array-of-structs

(inplace-new-array-of-structs datatype buffer options)(inplace-new-array-of-structs datatype buffer)

Create an array of structs from an existing buffer. Buffer must be an exact multiple of the size of the desired struct type.

inplace-new-struct

(inplace-new-struct datatype backing-store _options)(inplace-new-struct datatype backing-store)

Create a new struct in-place in the backing store. The backing store must either be convertible to a native buffer or a byte-array.

Returns a new Struct datatype.

map->struct

(map->struct dtype data track-type)

map->struct!

(map->struct! data rv)

new-array-of-structs

(new-array-of-structs datatype n-elems options)(new-array-of-structs datatype n-elems)

Create a new array of structs from new memory.

Options:

  • :container-type - passed directly into make-container, defaults to :jvm-heap. For native heap there is a further option of :resource-type which can be on of the tech.v3.resource track types of nil, :stack, :gc, or :auto. Nil means this memory will either live for the lifetime of the process or need to be freed manually. For more options see tech.v3.datatype.native-buffer/malloc.

new-struct

(new-struct datatype options)(new-struct datatype)

Create a new struct. By default this will use a byte array (:jvm-heap memory). Returns a new struct.

Options are passed into dtype/make-container so container-specific options apply.

Options:

  • :container-type - Defaults to :jvm-heap but often you want :native-heap
  • :resource-type - If :native-heap :container-type is chosen, this dictates the resource strategy. Options are the same as tech.v3.datatype.native-buffer/malloc.

offset-of

(offset-of struct-dtype-or-struct-def property-vec)

Returns a tuple of offset dtype.

struct->buffer

(struct->buffer s)

struct-datatype?

(struct-datatype? datatype)

Returns true of this datatype denotes a struct datatype.
