1.4.15 vsip_dmgetblock_p - Get the Data Block from a Matrix View

vsip_block_f* vsip_mgetblock_f(const vsip_mview_f *v); 
vsip_cblock_f* vsip_cmgetblock_f(const vsip_cmview_f *v);

Description

This function returns a pointer to the data block associated with a matrix view. The data block contains the actual storage for the matrix elements.

Parameters

• const vsip_dmview_p* v: Pointer to the matrix view.

Return Value

• Returns a pointer to the vsip_dblock_p associated with the matrix view.

Notes

• Multiple matrix views can share the same data block.

• The block should not be destroyed directly if it’s still being used by any matrix views.

• This function is useful for:

  • Creating additional views of the same data with different parameters

  • Checking if two matrices share the same underlying storage

  • Performing operations that require access to the raw data
