std::valarray(3)

NAME
std::valarray - std::valarray

Synopsis
   Defined in header <valarray>
   template< class T >
   class valarray;
   std::valarray is the class for representing and manipulating arrays of values. It
   supports element-wise mathematical operations and various forms of generalized
   subscript operators, slicing and indirect access.

Notes
   std::valarray and helper classes are defined to be free of certain forms of
   aliasing, thus allowing operations on these classes to be optimized similar to the
   effect of the keyword restrict in the C programming language. In addition, functions
   and operators that take valarray arguments are allowed to return proxy objects to
   make it possible for the compiler to optimize an expression such as v1 = a * v2 +
   v3; as a single loop that executes v1[i] = a * v2[i] + v3[i]; avoiding any
   temporaries or multiple passes. However, expression templates make the same
   optimization technique available for any C++ container, and the majority of numeric
   libraries prefer expression templates to valarrays for flexibility. Some C++
   standard library implementations use expression templates to implement efficient
   operations on std::valarray (e.g. GNU libstdc++ and LLVM libc++). Only rarely are
   valarrays optimized any further, as in e.g. Intel Integrated Performance Primitives.
