public class ArrayToElements
extends Transformer

An actor that disassembles an ArrayToken to a multiport output.

On each firing, this actor reads an ArrayToken from the input port and send out each element token to each channel of the output port. If the width of the output port (say, n) is less than the number of elements in the array (say m), then the first n elements in the array will be sent, and the remaining tokens are discarded. If n is greater than m, then the last n-m channels of the output port will never send tokens out.

This actor is polymorphic. It can accept ArrayTokens with any element type and send out tokens corresponding to that type.

Constructor Detail

ArrayToElements

public ArrayToElements(CompositeEntity container,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws NameDuplicationException,
                       IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the actor into the specified workspace. This calls the base class and then creates new ports and parameters.

Overrides:

clone in class AtomicActor

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new actor.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String), NamedObj.setDeferringChangeRequests(boolean)

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

If there is a token at the input, read the ArrayToken from the input port, and for each channel i of the output port, send the i-th element of this array to this channel. Otherwise, do nothing.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If a runtime type conflict occurs.

typeConstraints

public java.util.Set<Inequality> typeConstraints()

Return the type constraint that the type of the output port is no less than the type of the elements of the input array.

Specified by:

typeConstraints in interface TypedActor

Overrides:

typeConstraints in class TypedAtomicActor

Returns:

A list of inequalities.
