Print functions

Overview

These functions provide an abstraction on top of printf that allow users to display the contents of AIE types in the standard output.

Functions
template<unsigned N>
void	aie::print (const aie::mask< N > &m, bool nl=false, const char *prefix=nullptr)
	Displays the contents of a mask.
template<typename C> requires (Vector<C> || Accum<C>)
void	aie::print (const C &c, bool nl=false, const char *prefix=nullptr)
	Displays the contents of a vector or an accumulator.
template<typename T, unsigned Elems> requires (!detail::is_floating_point_v<T>)
void	aie::print_fixed (const aie::vector< T, Elems > &v, int scale, bool nl=false, const char *prefix=nullptr)
	Displays the contents of a vector integers represented as real numbers in fixed point.
template<typename Matrix> requires (Vector<Matrix> || Accum<Matrix>)
void	aie::print_matrix (const Matrix &m, unsigned cols, const char *prefix=nullptr)
	Displays the contents of a vector or accumulator, arranged in a matrix layout.

Function Documentation

print() [1/2]

template<unsigned N>

void aie::print	(	const aie::mask< N > &	m,
		bool	nl = false,
		const char *	prefix = nullptr )

Displays the contents of a mask.

Parameters

[in]	m	The mask.
[in]	nl	Set to true in order to add a newline at the end.
[in]	prefix	Optional text to print before the first element.

print() [2/2]

template<typename C>
requires (Vector<C> || Accum<C>)

void aie::print	(	const C &	c,
		bool	nl = false,
		const char *	prefix = nullptr )

Displays the contents of a vector or an accumulator.

Parameters

[in]	c	A vector or an accumulator.
[in]	nl	Set to true to print add newline at the end.
[in]	prefix	Optional text to print before the first element.

print_fixed()

template<typename T, unsigned Elems>
requires (!detail::is_floating_point_v<T>)

void aie::print_fixed	(	const aie::vector< T, Elems > &	v,
		int	scale,
		bool	nl = false,
		const char *	prefix = nullptr )

Displays the contents of a vector integers represented as real numbers in fixed point.

Applies a scaling factor to each value before printing, which represents the exponent in a multiplication by a power of two: positive scale values will make the numbers larger while negative values will make the numbers smaller.

Parameters

[in]	v	The vector.
[in]	scale	Power-of-two exponent to apply to each value. Can be positive or negative.
[in]	nl	Set to true to print a newline after the last element.
[in]	prefix	Optional text to print before the first element.

print_matrix()

template<typename Matrix>
requires (Vector<Matrix> || Accum<Matrix>)

void aie::print_matrix	(	const Matrix &	m,
		unsigned	cols,
		const char *	prefix = nullptr )

Displays the contents of a vector or accumulator, arranged in a matrix layout.

Parameters

[in]	m	A vector or an accumulator.
[in]	cols	The number of columns in the matrix. Must be an exact divisor of the number of elements in m.
[in]	prefix	Optional text to print before the first element.
