Detailed Description

Channel provides input/output of AST objects.

Writing an Object to a Channel will generate a textual representation of that Object, and reading from a Channel will create a new Object from its textual representation.

Note that a channel cannot be deep-copied because the contained stream cannot be deep-copied

Missing Methods

• astPutChannelData is used internally and should not be called directly.

Attributes

Channel provides the following attributes, in addition to those provided by Object

• Comment: Include textual comments in output?
• Full: Set level of output detail.
• Indent: Indentation increment between objects.
• ReportLevel: Selects the level of error reporting
• Skip: Skip irrelevant data?
• Strict: Generate errors instead of warnings?

Member Function Documentation

clear()

void ast::Object::clear ( std::string const &  attrib )

inlineinherited

Clear the values of a specified set of attributes for an Object.

Clearing an attribute cancels any value that has previously been explicitly set for it, so that the standard default attribute value will subsequently be used instead. This also causes the astTest function to return the value zero for the attribute, indicating that no value has been set.

Definition at line 119 of file Object.h.

                                        {
        astClear(getRawPtr(), attrib.c_str());
        assertOK();
    }

copy()

std::shared_ptr<Channel> ast::Channel::copy ( ) const

inline

Return a deep copy of this object.

Definition at line 84 of file Channel.h.

                                        {
        throw std::logic_error(
                "Channel cannot be deep copied because its contained stream cannot be deep copied");
    }

copyImpl()

template<typename T , typename AstT >

std::shared_ptr<T> ast::Object::copyImpl ( ) const

inlineprotectedinherited

Implementation of deep copy.

Should be called to implement copyPolymorphic by all derived classes.

Definition at line 320 of file Object.h.

                                      {
        auto *rawptr = reinterpret_cast<AstT *>(astCopy(getRawPtr()));
        auto retptr = std::shared_ptr<T>(new T(rawptr));
        assertOK();
        return retptr;
    }

copyPolymorphic()

virtual std::shared_ptr<Object> ast::Channel::copyPolymorphic ( ) const

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Return a deep copy of this object.

This is called by copy.

Each subclass must override this method. The standard implementation is:

return copyImpl<astshim_class, ast_class>();

for example Frame implements this as:

return copyImpl<Frame, AstFrame>();

Implements ast::Object.

Definition at line 159 of file Channel.h.

{ return std::shared_ptr<Object>(); }

fromAstObject()

template<typename Class >

template std::shared_ptr< Object > ast::Object::fromAstObject< Object > ( AstObject *  rawObj, bool  copy  )

staticinherited

Given a bare AST object pointer return a shared pointer to an ast::Object of the correct type.

The returned object takes ownership of the pointer. This is almost always what you want, for instance astDecompose returns shallow copies of the internal pointers.

Template Parameters

Class

The class of the returned shared pointer. (The actual class will be the correct class of rawPtr.)

Parameters

[in]	rawObj	A bare AST object pointer
[in]	copy	If True then make a deep copy of the pointer (and free the original)

Definition at line 138 of file Object.cc.

                                                                       {

        astAnnul(rawObj);
    }
    assertOK(rawObjCopy);

    // Make the appropriate ast shim object and dynamically cast to the desired output type
    auto retObjectBeforeCast = Object::_basicFromAstObject(rawObjCopy);

        assertOK();
        return ret;
    }

lock()

void ast::Object::lock ( bool  wait )

inlineinherited

Lock this object for exclusive use by the calling thread.

The thread-safe public interface to AST is designed so that an error is reported if any thread attempts to use an Object that it has not previously locked for its own exclusive use using this function. When an Object is created, it is initially locked by the thread that creates it, so newly created objects do not need to be explicitly locked. However, if an Object pointer is passed to another thread, the original thread must first unlock it (using astUnlock) and the new thread must then lock it (using astLock) before the new thread can use the Object.

Parameters

[in]

wait

If the Object is curently locked by another thread then this function will either report an error or block. If a non-zero value is supplied for "wait", the calling thread waits until the object is available for it to use. Otherwise, an error is reported and the function returns immediately without locking the Object.

Notes

• The Locked object will belong to the current AST context.
• This function returns without action if the Object is already locked by the calling thread.
• If simultaneous use of the same object is required by two or more threads, Object::copy should be used to to produce a deep copy of the Object for each thread. Each copy should then be unlocked by the parent thread (i.e. the thread that created the copy), and then locked by the child thread (i.e. the thread that wants to use the copy).
• This function returns without action if the AST library has been built without POSIX thread support (i.e. the "-with-pthreads" option was not specified when running the "configure" script).

Definition at line 202 of file Object.h.

                         {

        throw std::runtime_error("Could not read an AST object from this channel");
    }
    return Object::fromAstObject<Object>(rawRet, false);

same()

bool ast::Object::same ( Object const &  other ) const

inlineinherited

{ return astSame(getRawPtr(), other.getRawPtr()); }

set()

void ast::Object::set ( std::string const &  setting )

inlineprotectedinherited

Assign a set of attribute values, over-riding any previous values.

The attributes and their new values are specified via a character string, which should contain a comma-separated list of the form: "attribute_1 = value_1, attribute_2 = value_2, ... " where "attribute_n" specifies an attribute name, and the value to the right of each " =" sign should be a suitable textual representation of the value to be assigned. This value will be interpreted according to the attribute's data type.

Notes

• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space
• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space.
• White space may also surround attribute values, where it will generally be ignored (except for string-valued attributes where it is significant and forms part of the value to be assigned).
• To include a literal comma or percent sign in the value assigned to an attribute, the whole attribute value should be enclosed in quotation markes.

test()

bool ast::Object::test ( std::string const &  attrib ) const

inlineinherited

Has this attribute been explicitly set (and not subsequently cleared)?

Warning

Unlike the underlying astTest function, throws an exception if an error results

Notes

• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space.
• As you might expect, the returned value for a read-only attribute is always false.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if an error results.

Definition at line 250 of file Object.h.

                                             {
        bool res = astTest(getRawPtr(), attrib.c_str());
        assertOK();
        return res;
    }

unlock()

void ast::Object::unlock ( bool  report = false )

inlineinherited

Unlock this object previously locked using lock, so that other threads can use this object.

See lock for further details.

Parameters

[in]

report

If true, an error will be reported if the supplied Object, or any Object contained within the supplied Object, is not currently locked by the running thread. If false, such Objects will be left unchanged, and no error will be reported.

Notes

• This function attempts to execute even if AST's global error status is set, but no further error report will be made if it subsequently fails under these circumstances.
• All unlocked Objects are excluded from AST context handling until they are re-locked using astLock.
• This function returns without action if the Object is not currently locked by any thread. If it is locked by the running thread, it is unlocked. If it is locked by another thread, an error will be reported if "error" is non-zero.
• This function returns without action if the AST library has been built without POSIX thread support (i.e. the "-with-pthreads" option was not specified when running the "configure" script).

Definition at line 280 of file Object.h.

                                     {
        astUnlock(getRawPtr(), static_cast<int>(report));
        assertOK();
    }

warnings()

KeyMap ast::Channel::warnings

(

)

const

Return a KeyMap holding the text of any warnings issued as a result of the previous invocation of read or write.

If no warnings were issued, an empty KeyMap will be returned. Such warnings are non-fatal and will not prevent the read or write operation succeeding. However, the converted object may not be identical to the original object in all respects. Differences which would usually be deemed as insignificant in most usual cases will generate a warning, whereas more significant differences will generate an error.

The " Strict" attribute allows this warning facility to be switched off, so that a fatal error is always reported for any conversion error.

Definition at line 67 of file Channel.cc.

                               {
    AstKeyMap *rawKeyMap =
            reinterpret_cast<AstKeyMap *>(astWarnings(reinterpret_cast<AstChannel const *>(getRawPtr())));
    assertOK();
    return rawKeyMap ? KeyMap(rawKeyMap) : KeyMap();
}

write()

int ast::Channel::write

(

Object const &

object

)

Write an object to a channel.
