## Detailed Description

### template<typename SCALARTYPE>
class viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >

A proxy class for a single element of a vector or matrix. This proxy should not be noticed by end-users of the library.

This proxy provides access to a single entry of a vector. If the element is assigned to a GPU object, no unnecessary transfers to the CPU and back to GPU are initiated.

Template Parameters

  NumericT | Either float or double

## Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename SCALARTYPE>

typedef viennacl::backend::mem_handle viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >::handle_type

Definition at line 183 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename SCALARTYPE>

viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >::const_entry_proxy | ( | vcl_size_t | mem_offset,
|  | handle_type const & | mem_handle
| ) |  |
| inlineexplicit

The constructor for the proxy class. Declared explicit to avoid any surprises created by the compiler.

Parameters

  mem_offset | The memory offset in multiples of sizeof(NumericT) relative to the memory pointed to by the handle
  mem_handle | A viennacl::ocl::handle for the memory buffer on the GPU.

Definition at line 190 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

## Member Function Documentation

template<typename SCALARTYPE>

handle_type const& viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >::handle | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the memory handle.

Definition at line 216 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

template<typename SCALARTYPE>

unsigned int viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >::index | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the index of the represented element.

Definition at line 212 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

template<typename SCALARTYPE>

viennacl::const_entry_proxy< SCALARTYPE >::operator NumericT | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Conversion to a CPU floating point value.

This conversion allows to write something like double test = vector(4); However, one has to keep in mind that CPU<->GPU transfers are very slow compared to CPU<->CPU operations.
