Detailed Description

Defines the structure of the nanowire-network device interface to the external world.

This file defines the data structures and functions for interfacing with a nanowire-network device. It includes functionality for comparing, copying, and destroying interfaces.

The interface is represented by the interface structure, which holds information about sources, grounds, loads and weights, and index of the nanowire they are connected to. The provided functions allow for the comparison of interfaces, creation of deep copies, and proper cleanup of allocated resources.

Note

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

Function Documentation

copy_interface()

interface copy_interface

(

const interface

it

)

Create a deep copy of an interface.

Parameters

[in]

it

The interface to copy.

Returns

The deep copy of the interface.

destroy_interface()

void destroy_interface

(

interface

it

)

Destroy an interface memorized in the stack. This function practically frees the masks and weights of the interface. The arrays to be freed must have been allocated in the heap with malloc/calloc.

Parameters

[in,out]

it

The interface to destroy.

itcmp()

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

Compare two network interfaces according to the number of sources, grounds, and loads.

Parameters

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

Returns

0 if the datasheets contain the same data; > 0 if e1 has, in order, more sources, grounds, or loads than e2; < 0 otherwise.
