Structure observations

  • Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
  • Primary languages: Swift.
  • The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 4 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct CustomResamplingApp: App {
    // ...
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Accelerate.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

@main
struct CustomResamplingApp: App {
    // ...
    @StateObject private var customResamplingEngine = CustomResamplingEngine()
    // ...
}
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
CustomResamplingApp CustomResamplingEngine (customResamplingEngine) owns wrapper-managed state Owning lexical scope
CustomResamplingEngine PixelBuffer (sourceBuffer) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
CustomResamplingEngine PixelBuffer (intermediateBuffer) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
CustomResamplingEngine PixelBuffer (destinationBuffer) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Class and protocol design

CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

struct CustomResamplingApp: App {
    // ...
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
CustomResamplingApp Application entry and top-level composition App
CustomResamplingEngine Owns processing or simulation work ObservableObject
ContentView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
Mode Defines a closed set of feature states or choices String, CaseIterable, Identifiable

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Symbol Access Verified effect Likely rationale
customResamplingEngine (CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift:13) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.
CustomResamplingEngine (CustomResampling/CustomResamplingEngine.swift:8) implicit internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface.

Reference code

CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift:13 — representative boundary

@main
struct CustomResamplingApp: App {
    // ...
    @StateObject private var customResamplingEngine = CustomResamplingEngine()
    // ...
}

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Logic Owning type or file Placement rationale
Application entry and top-level composition CustomResamplingApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
Owns processing or simulation work CustomResamplingEngine The source’s Engine suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding ContentView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
SwiftUI environment injection CustomResampling/ContentView.swift:12 The environment supplies state or a capability without threading it through every initializer.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: CustomResamplingApp; Engine: CustomResamplingEngine; View: ContentView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: getShearedImage, kernelFunc.
  • Files: CustomResampling/CustomResamplingApp.swift, CustomResampling/CustomResamplingEngine.swift, CustomResampling/ContentView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • CustomResamplingApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches SwiftUI, Accelerate, Cocoa through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
  • Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
  • Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
  • The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
