Type conversion¶

Cast:

`batch_cast()`	`static_cast` on batch types
`bitwise_cast()`	`reinterpret_cast` on batch types
`batch_bool_cast()`	`static_cast` on batch predicate types

Conversion:

`to_float()`	per slot conversion to floating point
`to_int()`	per slot conversion to integer

template<class T_out, class T_in, class A> inline batch_bool<T_out, A> batch_bool_cast(batch_bool<T_in, A> const &x) noexcept¶

Perform a static_cast from T_in to T_out on .

Parameters: x – batch_bool of T_in
Returns: x cast to T_out

template<class T_out, class T_in, class A> inline batch<T_out, A> batch_cast(batch<T_in, A> const &x) noexcept¶

Perform a static_cast from T_in to T_out on .

Parameters: x – batch of T_in
Returns: x cast to T_out

template<class T_out, class T_in, class A> inline batch<T_out, A> bitwise_cast(batch<T_in, A> const &x) noexcept¶

Perform a reinterpret_cast from T_in to T_out on x.

Parameters: x – batch of T_in
Returns: x reinterpreted as T_out

template<class T, class A> inline batch<as_float_t<T>, A> to_float(batch<T, A> const &i) noexcept¶

Perform a conversion from i to a value of an floating point type of the same size as T.

This is equivalent to batch_cast<as_float_t<T>>(i)

Parameters: i – batch of integers.
Returns: i converted to a value of an floating point type of the same size as T

template<class T, class A> inline batch<as_integer_t<T>, A> to_int(batch<T, A> const &x) noexcept¶

Perform a conversion from x to a value of an integer type of the same size as T This is equivalent to batch_cast<as_integer_t<T>>(x)

Parameters: x – batch.
Returns: x converted to a value of an integer type of the same size as T

template<class T, class A, typename std::enable_if<std::is_integral<T>::value, int>::type = 3> inline batch<T, A> bitwise_cast(batch_bool<T, A> const &self) noexcept¶

Cast a batch_bool of T into a batch of the same type using the following rule: if an element of self is true, it maps to -1 in the returned integral batch, otherwise it maps to 0.

Parameters: self – batch_bool of T
Returns: self cast to a batch of T
