Detailed Description

template<class Grid>
class Dune::BackupRestoreFacility< Grid >

facility for writing and reading grids

The BackupRestoreFacility allows writing hierarchic grids to disk and reading them back into another program.

It is guaranteed that all index sets and id sets are preserved by the backup / restore process. The result of restore is undefined, if the number of processes in a parallel program differs from the number of processes used on backup.

There are two pairs of backup / restore methods:

  • methods writing into one or more dedicated files,
  • methods operating on a std::stream.

These techniques may not be mixed, i.e., you cannot write the grid into files and read it back from a stream or vice versa. While operating on a std::stream might be convenient, a grid written in another language than C++ might need to emulate this method by writing through a temporary file.

Note
The backup and restore methods might not be implemented for each grid. In this case one can catch the Dune::NotImplemented exception and do something else.
Template Parameters
Gridtype of grid

◆ backup() [1/2]

template<class Grid >
static void Dune::BackupRestoreFacility< Grid >::backup ( const Grid grid,
const std::string &  filename 
)
inlinestatic

write a hierarchic grid to disk

Parameters
[in]gridgrid to write
[in]filenamefilename of the file to create
Note
This method might create multiple files based on the filename plus internal extension.

References DUNE_THROW.

◆ backup() [2/2]

template<class Grid >
static void Dune::BackupRestoreFacility< Grid >::backup ( const Grid grid,
std::ostream &  stream 
)
inlinestatic

write a hierarchic grid into a stream

Parameters
[in]gridgrid to write
[in]streamstd::stream to write the grid to
Note
While operating on a std::ostream might be convenient, a grid written in another language than C++ might need to emulate this method by writing through a temporary file.

◆ restore() [1/2]

template<class Grid >
static Grid* Dune::BackupRestoreFacility< Grid >::restore ( const std::string &  filename)
inlinestatic

read a hierarchic grid from disk

Parameters
[in]filenamefilename of the file to read
Returns
a pointer to the grid (allocated by new)
Note
This method might require multiple files based on the filename plus some extension.

◆ restore() [2/2]

template<class Grid >
static Grid* Dune::BackupRestoreFacility< Grid >::restore ( std::istream &  stream)
inlinestatic

read a hierarchic grid from a stream

Parameters
[in]streamstd::stream to read the grid from
Note
While operating on a std::istream might be convenient, a grid written in another language than C++ might need to emulate this method by writing through a temporary file.
