A.5.3 bpipe_datatype_init_output

Fill memory with a datatype initialization structure.

Synopsis

#include <bpipe/bpipe.h>

void bpipe_datatype_init_output(
  void *dst,
  BPDataType type,
  size_t n
);

Parameters

void *dst

the memory to init

BPDataType type

the type of the datatype


Possible values for a BPDataType are as follows: BPDType_char, BPDType_double, BPDType_int, BPDType_uint, BPDType_DVector2, BPDType_DVector3, BPDType_IVector2, BPDType_IVector3, BPDType_UIVector2, BPDType_UIVector3, BPDType_DComplex, BPDType_DCVector2, BPDType_DCVector3

size_t n

the number of instances of the datatype to init

Description

This routine will replicate a default datatype initialization structure for an output image of a field. The default initialization is the appropriate value of ‘0’. It is somewhat inefficient, as the compacted version of the initialization structures should be created at compile time.
