Module lindel::new_uints [−][src]
A macro that creates a new [usize; N]
data-type that behaves as an integer for the purposes of accepting a new Key
.
The create_lineariseable_data_type
macro accepts three arguments:
- The coordinate data-type, an unsigned integer
- The amount of dimensions that the data-set must have
- A name for the new data-type that will function as the key. (Must be provided by the user.)
We haven’t yet tried whether it can accept the new data-types it output as input coordinates; u128
s were considered enough as a limit.
Example usage:
lindel::create_lineariseable_data_type!(u128, 33, NewKey); let input = [870u128; 33]; let hind = NewKey::hilbert_index(input); let zind = NewKey::z_index(input); let reinstated_input = hind.from_hilbert_index(); assert_eq!(input, reinstated_input); let reinstated_input = NewKey::from_z_index(zind); assert_eq!(input, reinstated_input);
Note
Please bear in mind that the new data-type has only implemented whichever methods and operators were strictly necessary for its operation as a Key; for instance, only wrapping addition is implemented, and subtraction is lacking entirely.
