Module jdk.incubator.vector
Package jdk.incubator.vector

Interface VectorOperators.Conversion<E,​F>

Type Parameters:
E - the boxed element type for the conversion domain type (the input lane type)
F - the boxed element type for the conversion range type (the output lane type)
All Superinterfaces:
VectorOperators.Operator
Enclosing class:
VectorOperators
public static interface VectorOperators.Conversion<E,​F> extends VectorOperators.Operator
Type for all lane-wise conversions on lane values, usable in expressions like w1 = v0.convert(I2D, 1).
API Note:
User code should not implement this interface. A future release of this type may restrict implementations to be members of the same package.

  • Method Details

    • domainType

      Class<E> domainType()
      The domain of this conversion, a primitive type.
      Returns:
      the domain of this conversion

    • rangeType

      Class<F> rangeType()
      The range of this conversion, a primitive type.
      Specified by:
      rangeType in interface VectorOperators.Operator
      Returns:
      the range of this conversion

    • check

      <E,​ F> VectorOperators.Conversion<E,​F> check​(Class<E> from, Class<F> to)
      Ensures that this conversion has the desired domain and range types.
      Type Parameters:
      E - the desired domain type
      F - the desired range type
      Parameters:
      from - the desired domain type
      to - the desired range type
      Returns:
      this conversion object, with validated domain and range

    • ofCast

      static <E,​ F> VectorOperators.Conversion<E,​F> ofCast​(Class<E> from, Class<F> to)
      The Java language assignment or casting conversion between two types.
      Type Parameters:
      E - the domain type (boxed version of a lane type)
      F - the range type (boxed version of a lane type)
      Parameters:
      from - the type of the value to convert
      to - the desired type after conversion
      Returns:
      a Java assignment or casting conversion

    • ofReinterpret

      static <E,​ F> VectorOperators.Conversion<E,​F> ofReinterpret​(Class<E> from, Class<F> to)
      The bitwise reinterpretation between two types.
      Type Parameters:
      E - the domain type (boxed version of a lane type)
      F - the range type (boxed version of a lane type)
      Parameters:
      from - the type of the value to reinterpret
      to - the desired type after reinterpretation
      Returns:
      a bitwise reinterpretation conversion
