NAME

cru_fabricated - graph copying function for the cru library

SYNOPSIS

#include <cru/cru.h>

cru_graph cru_fabricated (
   cru_graph g ,
   cru_fabricator f ,
   cru_kill_switch k ,
   unsigned lanes ,
   int *err )

DESCRIPTION

This function creates a new graph with the same number of vertices and edges as the given graph g connected in the same way, but possibly labeled differently based on a specification f  following the usual cru_fabricator calling conventions. If f is NULL (denotable alternatively as COPYING_FABRICATOR), then a zero-filled fabricator is inferred, causing the graph to be copied. See the NOTES section for details.

The value passed through k may be either a cru_kill_switch previously obtained by the cru_new_kill_switch function or a NULL pointer denoted alternatively by UNKILLABLE. If code running in another thread passes the kill switch to cru_kill while the operation is in progress, then the operation is interrupted. In this case, no graph is fabricated.

The lanes parameter specifies the number of worker threads to be used for the operation. Higher numbers up to the number of CPU cores on the host are conducive to higher performance.

For purposes of memory management, no parameters are consumed.

RETURN VALUE

On successful completion, the returned value is a pointer to a graph derived from g according to the cru_fabricator structure f. Applications should treat the returned value as opaque but may pass it as a parameter to other library functions. In the event of any error, a NULL pointer is returned. A NULL pointer is also returned if the given parameter g is NULL, which in this case represents an empty graph and is not in itself an error.

ERRORS

The err parameter is used to report any events preventing successful completion of the requested operation to the caller. If *err is zero on entry and the operation does not succeed, then *err is assigned a non-zero number. If the operation does not succeed because a user-defined callback function reports an error, then the number reported by the callback function is assigned to *err. Positive numbers are for POSIX or user-defined error codes, negative numbers down to -CRU_MAX_ERR are specific to cru, and other negative numbers are allowed as user-defined error codes.

Values of *err listed below refer to errors that are detected and handled. Unlisted values in the range of -CRU_INT_ERR through -CRU_MAX_ERR likely indicate internal errors attributable to bugs in cru. Any other unlisted values may indicate memory corruption, invalid usage of the API, or conditions relevant to user-defined callback functions.

ENOMEM

There is insufficient memory to allocate all necessary resources.

EAGAIN

Resources or permissions are insufficient to create a thread.

CRU_BADGPH

The parameter g refers to an invalid or corrupted graph.

CRU_BADKIL

The parameter k refers to an invalid or corrupted kill switch structure.

CRU_INTKIL

The operation was stopped by user intervention using the kill switch k.

CRU_UNDVFB

The field f->v_fab is NULL but at least one of f->fa_sig.destructor.v_free, f->fa_sig.orders.v_order.equal, or f->fa_sig.orders.v_order.hash is not NULL.

CRU_UNDEFB

The field f->e_fab is NULL but at least one of f->fa_sig.destructor.e_free, f->fa_sig.orders.e_order.equal, or f->fa_sig.orders.e_order.hash is not NULL.

NOTES

A zero-filled fabricator f calls for the creation of a shallow copy of a graph g whose vertices or edge labels are dynamically allocated. The copy shares vertices and edge labels with the original but does not cause them to be reclaimed when the copy is reclaimed. This method of operation is valid but requires the application to reclaim the copy prior to reclaiming or destructively modifying the original.
