Detailed Description

Mapping class that holds aliases for a Schema.

Aliases need not be complete, but they must match to the beginning of a field name to be useful. For example, if "a_b_c" is a true field name, "x_->a_b" is a valid alias that will cause "x_y_c" to map to "a_b_c", but "y_z->b_c" will not cause "a_y_z" to be matched.

Aliases are not checked to see if they match any existing fields, and if an alias has the same name as a field name, it will take precedence and hide the true field.

Unlike the other components of a Schema, aliases can be modified and removed, even after a Table has been constructed from the Schema.

AliasMaps are shared when Schemas are copy-constructed, but can be separated manually by calling Schema::disconnectAliases() or Schema::setAliasMap(). In addition, the AliasMap is deep-copied when used to construct a Table (or Catalog).

In order to allow Tables to react to changes in aliases (which may be used to define cached Keys held by the table, as in SourceTable's "slots" mechanism), an AliasMap that is part of a Schema held by a Table will hold a pointer to that Table, and call BaseTable::handleAliasChanges() when its aliases are set or removed.

typedef std::map<std::string,std::string>::const_iterator lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::Iterator

An iterator over alias->target pairs.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

: _internal(), _table(0) {}

lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::AliasMap ( AliasMap const &  other )

inline

Deep-copy an AliasMap

The new AliasMap will not be linked to any tables, even if other is.

: _internal(other._internal), _table(0) {}

Member Function Documentation

void lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::_apply ( std::string &  name ) const

private

std::string lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::apply

(

std::string const &

name

)

const

Apply any aliases that match the given field name and return a de-aliased name.

Given a string that starts with any alias in the map, this returns a string with the part of the string that matches the alias replaced by that alias's target. The longest such alias is used.

For example:

*  m = AliasMap();
*  m.set("q", "a");
*  m.set("q1", "b");
*  assert(m.apply("q3") == "a3");
*  assert(m.apply("q12") == "b2");
*  

Iterator lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::begin ( void  ) const

inline

Return a iterator to the beginning of the map.

Definition at line 52 of file AliasMap.h.

{ return _internal.begin(); }

bool lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::contains

(

AliasMap const &

other

)

const

Return true if all aliases in this are also in other (with the same targets).

bool lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::empty ( ) const

inline

Return the true if there are no aliases.

Definition at line 61 of file AliasMap.h.

{ return _internal.empty(); }

Iterator lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::end ( void  ) const

inline

Return a iterator to one past the end of the map.

Definition at line 55 of file AliasMap.h.

{ return _internal.end(); }

bool lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::erase

(

std::string const &

alias

)

Remove an alias from the schema if it is present.

Returns

True if an alias was erased, and false if no such alias was found.

std::string lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::get

(

std::string const &

alias

)

const

Return the target of the given alias.

Unlike apply(), this will not return partial matches.

Exceptions

pex::exceptions::NotFoundError

if no alias with the given name exists

bool lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::operator!= ( AliasMap const &  other ) const

inline

Equality comparison

Definition at line 105 of file AliasMap.h.

{ return !(other == *this); }

bool lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::operator==

(

AliasMap const &

other

)

const

Equality comparison

void lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::set	(	std::string const &	alias,
		std::string const &	target
	)

Add an alias to the schema or replace an existing one.

std::size_t lsst.afw.table::AliasMap::size ( ) const

inline

Return the number of aliases.

Definition at line 58 of file AliasMap.h.

{ return _internal.size(); }
