Synopsis

Objset is used to fill a C-style array of objects.

Objcopy and objmove are used to copy objects from one place to another. Optionally a stride can be supplied.

The functions are equivalent to C's memcpy and memmove. When possible C++ standard library functions are used to implement them

Similar to memcpy and memmove, the difference between objcopy and objmove is that objmove takes account of an overlap of source and destination. In general, objcopy is slighty (but only slighty) faster.

Example

Setting and copying arrays of built-in types:

      // Create int array of 4 elements
      size_t size=4;
      int* ia = new int[size];
      // Initialize all elements to value 99
      objset(ia, 99, size);
      // Change all odd elements to 66 -> [99 66 99 66]
      objset(ia+1, 66, 5, 2);
     
      // Create another 4-element int array
      int* ia2 = new int[size];
      // Copy array ia into array ia2 -> [99 66 99 66]
      objmove(ia2, ia, size);
      // Copy the even elements of ia to the odd elements of ia2
      //                              -> [99 99 99 99]
      objcopy(ia2+1, ia, size/2, 2, 2);

Setting and copying arrays of a randomly chosen type:

      // Create 4-element array of 3-element Block<int> objects 
      size_t size=4;
      Block<int>* ta = new Block<int>[size];
      Block<int> set(3);
      // Initialize the array -> [[123][123][123][123]]
      set[0] = 1; set[1] = 2; set[2] = 3;
      objset(ta, set, size);
      // Change odd Blocks to [777]-> [[123][777][123][777]]
      set[0] = set[1] = set[2] = 7;
      objset(ta + 1, set, size/2, 2);
     
      // Create another Block<int> array 
      Block<int>* ta2 = new Block<int>[size];
      // Copy the even elements of ta to the first elements of ta2
      //                      -> [[123][123]...]
      objcopy(ta2, ta, size/2, 1, 2);
