I would like to compute the phase of a complex number using boost::compute
here is my attempt, I expect the result to be equal to atan2(0.5f):
namespace bc = boost::compute;
bc::vector<std::complex<float>> vec{ {1.0f, 2.0f} };
bc::vector<float> result(1);
bc::transform(vec.begin(), vec.end(), result.begin(), bc::atan2<float>());
but I get a compilation error claiming "Non-unary function invoked one argument"
I think you can also use Boost.Compute's lambda expressions for this:
bc::vector<float2> input{ {1.0f, 2.0f}, {3.0f, 4.0f}, {5.0f, 6.0f} };
bc::vector<float> output(3);
using boost::compute::lambda::atan2;
using boost::compute::_1;
using boost::compute::lambda::get;
bc::transform(
float2_input.begin(),
float2_input.end(),
float_output.begin(),
atan2(get<1>(_1), get<0>(_1)),
queue
);
float2
is bassically a complex in Boost.Compute. You can also check test_lambda.cpp.
