DXEndObject

Function

Creates the standard components "box" and "neighbors" that other modules expect a Field to contain.

Syntax

#include <dx/dx.h>

Object DXEndObject(Object o)

Functional Details

DXEndObject provides a higher-level interface to the Field-completion processing provided by DXEndField, since it will traverse a variety of Object classes to access embedded Fields. In addition, DXEndObject detects if the Fields contained as subObjects of o share components, and if so, share the newly created "box" and/or "neighbors" components between Fields containing the shared components. Finally, DXEndObject processes the Fields that are subObjects of o in parallel on architectures supporting parallelism.

Thus, unless the Object to be completed is simply a single Field, DXEndObject provides a more flexible, faster, and potentially more space-efficient processing stage than DXEndField.

Return Value

Returns o or returns NULL and sets an error code.
