	Destroy a connected component by freeing its pointers (i.e., Is). The array to be freed must have been allocated in the heap. More...

Detailed Description

Defines the structure and operations for connected components in a Nanowire Network.

This file contains the definition of the connected_component struct, which represents a connected component of the Nanowire Network and identify its belonging nanowires and junctions. Additionally, it provides functions to compare, copy, and destroy connected components.

Note

The connected_component uses dynamically allocated memory that must be managed using the provided functions.

Function Documentation

cccmp()

int cccmp	(	const void *	e1,
		const void *	e2
	)

Compare two connected components according to their size and potentially the number of junctions.

Parameters

[in]	e1	Pointer to the first element to compare.
[in]	e2	Pointer to the second element to compare.

Returns

0 if the connected components have the same number of wires and junctions; > 0 if e1 has more wires (or in case of equality junctions) than e2; < 0 otherwise.

copy_component()

connected_component copy_component

(

const connected_component

cc

)

Create a deep copy of a connected component.

Parameters

[in]

cc

The connected component to copy.

Returns

The deep copy of the connected component.

destroy_component()

void destroy_component

(

connected_component

cc

)

Destroy a connected component by freeing its pointers (i.e., Is). The array to be freed must have been allocated in the heap.

Parameters

[in,out]

cc

The connected component to destroy.
