These functions manage sparse matrices.

A sparse matrix stores data objects in cells within a row / column tabular structure, where the majority of cells will be empty. The sparse matrix takes advantage of this emptiness by allocating memory only for non-empty cells and, in this implementation, storing them internally in linked lists.

For more information, you can look at the tutorial_matrixsparse_page.

Clears (erases) cell given its reference.

Parameters:

[in,out] cell The cell reference; must not be NULL.

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

Warning:: Cells, rows or columns are not reference counted and thus references to freed instances may become invalid.

Note:: This call might also free the column and/or row if this was the last remaining cell contained.

Since :: 2.3.1

void* eina_matrixsparse_cell_data_get ( const Eina_Matrixsparse_Cell * cell )

Gets data associated with given cell reference.

Parameters:

[in] cell Given cell reference, must not be NULL.

void eina_matrixsparse_free ( Eina_Matrixsparse * m )

Frees resources allocated for a Sparse Matrix.

Parameters:

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Iterator* eina_matrixsparse_iterator_complete_new ( const Eina_Matrixsparse * m )

Creates a new iterator over all matrix cells.

In contrast to eina_matrixsparse_iterator_new(), this routine iterates across all row and column positions in the matrix, returning dummy cells with no data where there are empty holes.

Be aware that since this iterates over all potential elements of a Sparse Matrix, not just the elements with actual data, this can result in a very large number of function calls.

The iterator's data element will be the current cell reference. This cell's position and value can be retrieved with eina_matrixsparse_cell_position_get() and eina_matrixsparse_cell_data_get(). If the cell is empty then the reference will be a dummy/placeholder, thus setting value with eina_matrixsparse_cell_data_set() will leave the pointer unreferenced.

Parameters:

[in] m The Sparse Matrix reference; must not be NULL.

Returns:: A new iterator.

Warning:: If the matrix structure changes then the iterator becomes invalid! That is, if you add or remove cells this iterator behavior is undefined and your program may crash!

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Iterator* eina_matrixsparse_iterator_new ( const Eina_Matrixsparse * m )

Creates a new iterator over only the existing matrix cells.

This is a quick walk over the defined cells; the holes in the Sparse Matrix are skipped over, thus the returned entries will not have consecutive index numbers.

The iterator's data element will be the current cell reference. This cell's position and value can be retrieved with eina_matrixsparse_cell_position_get() and eina_matrixsparse_cell_data_get().

Parameters:

[in] m The Sparse Matrix reference; must not be NULL.

Returns:: A new iterator.

Warning:: If the matrix structure changes then the iterator becomes invalid! That is, if you add or remove cells this iterator behavior is undefined and your program may crash!

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Matrixsparse* eina_matrixsparse_new	(	unsigned long	rows,
		unsigned long	cols,
		void()(void user_data, void *cell_data)	free_func,
		const void *	user_data
	)

Creates a new Sparse Matrix.

Parameters:

[in]	rows	Number of rows in matrix. Operations with rows greater than this value will fail.
[in]	cols	Number of columns in matrix. Operations with columns greater than this value will fail.
[in]	free_func	Used to delete cell data contents, used by eina_matrixsparse_free(), eina_matrixsparse_size_set(), eina_matrixsparse_row_idx_clear(), eina_matrixsparse_column_idx_clear(), eina_matrixsparse_cell_idx_clear() and possible others.
[in]	user_data	Given to free_func as first parameter.

Returns:: Newly allocated matrix, or NULL if allocation failed.

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Bool eina_matrixsparse_row_idx_clear	(	Eina_Matrixsparse *	m,
		unsigned long	row
	)

Clears (erases all cells) of a given row number.

Parameters:

[in,out]	m	The sparse matrix to operate on.
[in]	row	The row number to clear.

Existing cells will be cleared with free_func() given to eina_matrixsparse_new().

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure (such as requesting a row outside the matrix's defined size). It is considered successful if the row had no cells filled.

Warning:: Cells, rows or columns are not reference counted and thus references to freed instances may become invalid.

Since :: 2.3.1

void eina_matrixsparse_size_get	(	const Eina_Matrixsparse *	m,
		unsigned long *	rows,
		unsigned long *	cols
	)

Gets the current size of a Sparse Matrix.

The given parameters are guaranteed to be set if they're not NULL, even if this function fails (i.e.: m is not a valid matrix instance).

Parameters:

[in]	m	The sparse matrix to operate on.
[out]	rows	Returns the number of rows; may be `NULL`. If m is invalid, returned value is zero, otherwise it's a positive integer.
[out]	cols	Returns the number of columns; may be `NULL`. If m is invalid, returned value is zero, otherwise it's a positive integer.

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Bool eina_matrixsparse_size_set	(	Eina_Matrixsparse *	m,
		unsigned long	rows,
		unsigned long	cols
	)

Resizes the Sparse Matrix.

This will resize the sparse matrix, potentially freeing cells on rows and columns that will no longer exist.

Parameters:

[in,out]	m	The sparse matrix to operate on.
[in]	rows	The new number of rows; must be greater than zero.
[in]	cols	The new number of columns; must be greater than zero.

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

Warning:: Cells, rows or columns are not reference counted and thus references to freed instances may become invalid.

Since :: 2.3.1
