Function Documentation

get_template_parameters_as_string()

template<class... Args>

std::string Parallel::charmxx::get_template_parameters_as_string

(

)

Returns the template parameter as a std::string

Uses the PRETTY_FUNCTION compiler intrinsic to extract the template parameter names in the same form that Charm++ uses to register entry methods. This is used by the generated Singleton, Array, Group and Nodegroup headers, as well as in CharmMain.tpp.

register_func_with_charm()

template<typename Derived >

bool Parallel::charmxx::register_func_with_charm

(

)

Function that adds a pointer to a specific derived class to the charm_register_list

Used to initialize the registrar bool of derived classes of RegistrationHelper. When the function is invoked it appends the derived class to the charm_register_list.

Note

The reason for not using a std::vector is that this did not behave correctly when calling push_back. Specifically, the final vector was always size 1, even though multiple elements were pushed back. The reason for that behavior was never tracked down and so in the future it could be possible to use a std::vector.

register_reducer_function()

template<ReducerFunctions F>

bool Parallel::charmxx::register_reducer_function

(

)

Function that stores a function pointer to the custom reduction function to be registered later.

Used to initialize the registrar bool of RegisterReducerFunction. When invoked it adds the function F of type ReducerFunctions to the list charm_reducer_functions_list.

Note

The reason for not using a std::vector<ReducerFunctions> is that this did not behave correctly when calling push_back. Specifically, the final vector was always size 1, even though multiple elements were pushed back. The reason for that behavior was never tracked down and so in the future it could be possible to use a std::vector.
