C++ program that demonstrates move semantics for large matrix manipulation and universal references with perfect forwarding. This example will focus on a simplified finite element analysis scenario. Here's the implementation:
algorithm, auto, command_line_arguments, exception, iostream, namespace, range-based, sstream, std::cin, std::cout, std::cerr, std::exception, std::ifstream, std::ofstream, stdexcept, throw, vector
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <utility>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
// Simple Matrix class with move semantics
class Matrix {
public:
Matrix(size_t rows, size_t cols) : rows_(rows), cols_(cols), data_(rows * cols) {}
Matrix(const Matrix& other) : rows_(other.rows_), cols_(other.cols_), data_(other.data_) {
std::cout << "Copy constructor called\n";
}
Matrix(Matrix&& other) noexcept : rows_(other.rows_), cols_(other.cols_), data_(std::move(other.data_)) {
std::cout << "Move constructor called\n";
other.rows_ = other.cols_ = 0;
}
Matrix& operator=(Matrix&& other) noexcept {
std::cout << "Move assignment called\n";
if (this != &other) {
rows_ = other.rows_;
cols_ = other.cols_;
data_ = std::move(other.data_);
other.rows_ = other.cols_ = 0;
}
return *this;
}
// Other necessary methods...
size_t size() const { return rows_ * cols_; }
private:
size_t rows_, cols_;
std::vector<double> data_;
};
// Function to perform a computationally intensive operation
Matrix heavyComputation(Matrix m) {
// Simulate heavy computation
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100));
return m;
}
// Function template using universal reference and perfect forwarding
template<typename T>
void processMatrix(T&& m) {
Matrix result = heavyComputation(std::forward<T>(m));
std::cout << "Processed matrix of size: " << result.size() << std::endl;
}
int main() {
// Create a large matrix
Matrix largeMatrix(1000, 1000);
std::cout << "Processing with copy:\n";
processMatrix(largeMatrix);
std::cout << "\nProcessing with move:\n";
processMatrix(std::move(largeMatrix));
return 0;
}
This program demonstrates the following concepts:
Matrix class implements move constructor and move assignment operator.In the main function, we use std::move to transfer ownership of largeMatrix to the processMatrix function, avoiding unnecessary copying of large data.
Universal Reference and Perfect Forwarding:
processMatrix function template uses a universal reference T&& to accept both lvalue and rvalue references.std::forward<T>(m) is used to perfectly forward the argument to heavyComputation, preserving its value category (lvalue or rvalue).
Finite Element Analysis Simulation:
heavyComputation function simulates a computationally intensive operation on the matrix.When you run this program, you'll see the difference in output between processing the matrix with a copy and with a move operation. The move operation will be more efficient, especially for large matrices, as it avoids unnecessary copying of data.
This example provides a foundation for optimizing large-scale matrix operations in scientific computing applications. In a real-world scenario, you would replace the simulated heavy computation with actual matrix operations relevant to your finite element analysis or other computational tasks.
