Detailed Description

The ParVector and its base classes ParVectorTBase and ParVectorBase defines an interface to a class derived from the InterfacedBase, through which vectors (or any other container) of simple member variables can be manuipulated.

ParVector is templated on the type of the member variable and the type of the InterfacedBase class, and is derived from the InterfaceBase class via ParVectorTBase (which is templated only on the class of the member variable) and ParVectorBase.

For each InterfacedBase class exactly one static ParVector object should created for each member variable of container type which should be interfaced. This object will automatically register itself with the BaseRepository class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ThePEG::ParVectorBase::ParVectorBase ( string  newName,
string  newDescription,
string  newClassName,
const type_info &  newTypeInfo,
int  newSize,
bool  depSafe,
bool  readonly,
int  limits 
) [inline]

Standard constructor.

Parameters:
newName the name of the interface, may only contain letters [a-zA-z0-9_].
newDescription a brief description of the interface.
newClassName the name of the corresponding class.
newTypeInfo the type_info object of the corresponding class.
newSize the size of the container or -1 if varying.
depSafe set to true if calls to this interface for one object does not influence other objects.
readonly if this is set true the interface will not be able to manipulate objects of the corresponding class, but will still be able to access information.
limits determines if the values of the parameters are limited from above and/or below. The possible values are given by Interface::Limits.

Member Function Documentation

virtual string ThePEG::ParVectorBase::exec ( InterfacedBase ,
string  action,
string  arguments 
) const [virtual]

The general interface method overriding the one in InterfaceBase.

For this class, action can be any of "set", "insert", "erase", "get", "min", "max", "def" and "setdef" and argument should be a something which can be read into an integer and into a variable through a stringstream with the standard '>>' operator.

Implements ThePEG::InterfaceBase.

virtual void ThePEG::ParVectorBase::set ( InterfacedBase ib,
string  val,
int  i 
) const [pure virtual]

Set the i'th element of a container of member variables of ib to val.

val should be able to be read into the corresponding variable type through a stringstream with the standard '>>' operator.

Implemented in ThePEG::ParVectorTBase< Type >.

virtual void ThePEG::ParVectorBase::insert ( InterfacedBase ib,
string  val,
int  i 
) const [pure virtual]

Insert a new object before the i'th element of a container of member variables of ib and set it to val.

val should be able to be read into the corresponding variable type through a stringstream with the standard '>>' operator.

Implemented in ThePEG::ParVectorTBase< Type >.

int ThePEG::ParVectorBase::size (  )  const [inline]

Get the size of the container being interfaced.

If the size() is less than 0, the size is allowed to vary.

Definition at line 226 of file ParVector.h.

References theSize.

void ThePEG::ParVectorBase::setSize ( int  sz  )  [inline]

Set the size of the container being interfaced.

If the size is less than 0, the size is allowed to vary.

Definition at line 232 of file ParVector.h.

References theSize.

void ThePEG::ParVectorBase::setVariableSize (  )  [inline]

Set the size of the container being interfaced to -1, i.e.

the size is allowed to vary.

Definition at line 238 of file ParVector.h.
