array::reinterpret_as Method
Returns a one-dimensional array that contains all the elements in the array object.
template <
typename _Value_type2
>
array_view<_Value_type2,1> reinterpret_as()restrict(amp,cpu);
template <
typename _Value_type2
>
array_view<const _Value_type2,1> reinterpret_as() const restrict(amp,cpu);
Parameters
- _Value_type2
The data type of the returned data.
Return Value
An array_view or const array_view object that is based on the array, with the element type reinterpreted from T to ElementType and the rank reduced from N to 1.
Remarks
Sometimes it is desirable to view the data of an N-dimensional array as a linear array, possibly with a not type safe reinterpretation of the element type. You can achieve this by using this method. The following code provides an example.
struct RGB { float r; float g; float b; };
array<RGB,3> a = ...;
array_view<float,1> v = a.reinterpret_as<float>();
assert(v.extent == 3*a.extent);
