## Member Function Documentation

template<class T, typename TAlloc = irrAllocator<T>>

u32 irr::core::array< T, TAlloc >::allocated_size | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Get amount of memory allocated.

Returns:
  Amount of memory allocated. The amount of bytes allocated would be allocated_size() * sizeof(ElementTypeUsed);

Definition at line 368 of file irrArray.h.

template<class T, typename TAlloc = irrAllocator<T>>

s32 irr::core::array< T, TAlloc >::binary_search | ( | const T & | element,
|  | s32 | left,
|  | s32 | right |
| ) |  |  | const`[inline]`

Performs a binary search for an element, returns -1 if not found.

Parameters:

  | element,: | Element to search for.
  | left | First left index
  | right | Last right index.

Returns:
  Position of the searched element if it was found, otherwise -1 is returned.

Definition at line 428 of file irrArray.h.

template<class T, typename TAlloc = irrAllocator<T>>

s32 irr::core::array< T, TAlloc >::binary_search | ( | const T & | element | ) | const`[inline]`

Performs a binary search for an element if possible, returns -1 if not found.

This method is for const arrays and so cannot call sort(), if the array is not sorted then linear_search will be used instead. Potentially very slow!

Parameters:

  | element | Element to search for.

Returns:
  Position of the searched element if it was found, otherwise -1 is returned.

Definition at line 413 of file irrArray.h.

template<class T, typename TAlloc = irrAllocator<T>>

s32 irr::core::array< T, TAlloc >::binary_search | ( | const T & | element | ) | `[inline]`

Performs a binary search for an element, returns -1 if not found.

The array will be sorted before the binary search if it is not already sorted. Caution is advised! Be careful not to call this on unsorted const arrays, or the slower method will be used.

Parameters:

  | element | Element to search for.

Returns:
  Position of the searched element if it was found, otherwise -1 is returned.

Performs a binary search for an element, returns -1 if not found. it is used for searching a multiset The array will be sorted before the binary search if it is not already sorted.

Parameters:

  | element | Element to search for.
  | &last | return lastIndex of equal elements

Returns:
  Position of the first searched element if it was found, otherwise -1 is returned.

template<class T, typename TAlloc = irrAllocator<T>>

void irr::core::array< T, TAlloc >::set_free_when_destroyed | ( | bool | f | ) | `[inline]`

Sets if the array should delete the memory it uses upon destruction.

Also clear and set_pointer will only delete the (original) memory area if this flag is set to true, which is also the default. The methods reallocate, set_used, push_back, push_front, insert, and erase will still try to deallocate the original memory, which might cause troubles depending on the intended use of the memory area.

Parameters:

  | f | If true, the array frees the allocated memory in its destructor, otherwise not. The default is true.

|  | bool | _free_when_destroyed = `true` |
| ) |  |  | `[inline]`

Sets pointer to new array, using this as new workspace.

Make sure that set_free_when_destroyed is used properly.

Parameters:

  | newPointer,: | Pointer to new array of elements.
  | size,: | Size of the new array.
  | _is_sorted | Flag which tells whether the new array is already sorted.
  | _free_when_destroyed | Sets whether the new memory area shall be freed by the array upon destruction, or if this will be up to the user application.
