I am having trouble implementing the following function template to map an array into a vector/matrix.

Code: Select all

template <typename T>
unspecified_return_type get_vector_map(T* buf, size_t n);

template <typename T>
unspecified_return_type get_matrix_map(T* buf, size_t cols, size_t rows);

Type T can be any floating point or integer numeric type, optionally const qualified.
Is there a way to do it a without writing a lot of boiler plate code?

Thank you.

Something like this should do the job:

Code: Select all

template<typename T> Map<Matrix<T,Dynamic,1> >
get_vector_map(T* buf, size_t n) { return Matrix<T,Dynamic,1>::Map(buf,n); }

template<typename T> Map<const Matrix<T,Dynamic,1> >
get_vector_map(const T* buf, size_t n) { return Matrix<T,Dynamic,1>::Map(buf,n); }


Thanks. It worked.
