Detailed Description

Representation of a RecordDesc

Intended use:

Internal

Review Status

Reviewed By:: Mark Wieringa
Date Reviewed:: 1996/04/15
Test programs:: tRecordDesc

Prerequisite

Etymology

Rep is an often used abbreviation for representation. Thus RecordDescRep is the representation of a RecordDesc.

Synopsis

RecordDescRep is used by RecordDesc to implement its copy-on-write semantics. RecordDesc is the interface to the user, while RecordDescRep contains the actual implementation. See RecordDesc for a more detailed description of a record description.

Example

See the example in the description of the Record class.

Motivation

RecordDescRep is needed to make copy-on-write semantics possible in class RecordDesc.

To Do

Should the strategy wrt. field names be changed (not used in field description equality, must be unique at a given level?).
Perhaps we should be able to more conveniently change the description of an existing field.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addArray()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::addArray	(	const String &	fieldName,
		DataType	scalarOrArrayType,
		const IPosition &	shape
	)

Add an array field of the indicated type.

The DataType is promoted from a scalar type to an array type if necessary, e.g., TpInt ->TpArrayInt. Returns the number of fields in the description.

◆ addField()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::addField	(	const String &	fieldName,
		DataType	scalarOrArrayType
	)

Add scalar or array field.

If of array type, the shape is set to [-1], which indicates a variable sized array. Returns the number of fields in the description.

◆ addFieldAny()

void casacore::RecordDescRep::addFieldAny ( DataType scalarOrArrayType )

protected

Add the field info.

These are helper functions for the add functions and can be used in derived classes too.

◆ addFieldArray()

void casacore::RecordDescRep::addFieldArray	(	DataType	scalarOrArrayType,
		const IPosition &	shape
	)

protected

◆ addFieldName()

void casacore::RecordDescRep::addFieldName	(	const String &	fieldName,
		DataType	type
	)

protected

Add a field name and its type.

It checks if the name is unique and it extends the various blocks using increment_length.

◆ addRecord()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::addRecord	(	const String &	fieldName,
		const RecordDesc &	subDesc
	)

Add a Record field to the description.

This allows hierarchical descriptions to be developed. Returns the number of fields in the description.

◆ addRepField()

virtual void casacore::RecordDescRep::addRepField	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		const String &	newName,
		Int	whichField
	)

protectedvirtual

Add a field from another Record description.

This is used by the merge functions.

◆ addTable()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::addTable	(	const String &	fieldName,
		const String &	tableDescName
	)

Add a Table field to the description.

The Table description has the given name. Returns the number of fields in the description.

◆ allExist()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::allExist	(	const RecordDescRep &	,
		Bool &	equalDataTypes
	)		const

private

Test if all fields are part of the other description.

The flag equalDataTypes is set to True if the data types of the fields in both descriptions are the same.

◆ comment()

const String& casacore::RecordDescRep::comment ( Int whichField ) const

Get the comment for this field.

◆ conform()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::conform ( const RecordDescRep & other ) const

Test if this description conforms the other.

It is similar to operator==. However, a subrecord in that description always conforms an arbitrary (i.e. empty) subrecord in this description.
This is used by Record, to see if another record can be assigned to this record.

◆ copy_other()

void casacore::RecordDescRep::copy_other ( const RecordDescRep & other )

protected

◆ fieldNumber()

Int casacore::RecordDescRep::fieldNumber ( const String & fieldName ) const

Returns the index of the field named fieldName.

Returns -1 if fieldName does not exist.

◆ increment_length()

virtual void casacore::RecordDescRep::increment_length ( )

protectedvirtual

Helper functions.

◆ isArray()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isArray ( Int whichField ) const

inline

Returns True if whichField is an array.

Definition at line 317 of file RecordDescRep.h.

References is_array_p.

◆ isDisjoint()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isDisjoint ( const RecordDescRep & other ) const

Test if the set of field names in this and other record description is disjoint (i.e.

if they do not share names).

◆ isEqual()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isEqual	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		Bool &	equalDataTypes
	)		const

Test if this description equals another one.

It is equal if the number of fields is equal and all field names in this description occur in the other too. The order of the fields is not important.
The flag equalDataTypes is set to True if the data types of all fields match.
Use function operator== if order and types are important, but names are not.

◆ isScalar()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isScalar ( Int whichField ) const

inline

Returns True if whichField is a scalar.

Definition at line 322 of file RecordDescRep.h.

References types_p.

◆ isStrictSubset()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isStrictSubset	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		Bool &	equalDataTypes
	)		const

Test if this description is a strict subset of another one, thus if it is a subset and not equal.

◆ isSubRecord()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isSubRecord ( Int whichField ) const

inline

Returns True if whichField is a sub-record.

Definition at line 327 of file RecordDescRep.h.

References types_p.

◆ isSubset()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isSubset	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		Bool &	equalDataTypes
	)		const

Test if this description is a subset of another one.

It is similar to isEqual above.

◆ isTable()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::isTable ( Int whichField ) const

inline

Returns True if whichField is a table.

Definition at line 332 of file RecordDescRep.h.

References types_p.

◆ makeName()

String casacore::RecordDescRep::makeName ( Int whichField ) const

Create a name for a field defined by index as *i (similar to glish).

It takes care that the resulting name is unique by adding a suffix _j when needed.

◆ merge()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::merge	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		int	duplicateAction
	)

Add all the fields from another RecordDescRep to the current objects.

◆ mergeField()

uInt casacore::RecordDescRep::mergeField	(	const RecordDescRep &	other,
		Int	whichFieldFromOther,
		int	duplicateAction
	)

Merge a single field from other.

If allowDuplicates is True, silently throw away fields if one with the same name and type already exists, otherwise an exception is thrown. Conflicting types always cause an exception. Returns the number of fields in the description.

◆ name()

const String & casacore::RecordDescRep::name ( Int whichField ) const

inline

What is the name of the given field.

Definition at line 307 of file RecordDescRep.h.

◆ operator==()

Bool casacore::RecordDescRep::operator== ( const RecordDescRep & other ) const

Set the shape for this field.

An exception will be thrown if the field is no array.

◆ shape()

const IPosition & casacore::RecordDescRep::shape ( Int whichField ) const
