Synopsis

A NoticeTarget receives the Notices from the NoticeSource to which it is linked. A target can only be linked to one source.

Classes which are dependent upon a particular NoticeSource should derive from this class.

Example

ListIter and its parent class ConstListIter are the iterators or "dynamic" cursors in the linked List . They are derived from NoticeTarget, and the notice system ensures that multiple cursors are updated as elements are added and removed from the list, according to the following scheme:

1. An iterator changes something to the underlying list.
2. The iterator creates a ListNotice containing all the necessary information about the change.
3. The iterator passes the notice to the NoticeSource List .
4. The list relays the notice to all other iterators operating on the list (kept in the "target list").
5. Every iterator catches the notice and changes its state accordingly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~NoticeTarget()

virtual casacore::NoticeTarget::~NoticeTarget ( )

virtual

Destructs this NoticeTarget.

NoticeTarget() [1/5]

casacore::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget ( )

inlineprotected

Creates an unlinked, "invalid" NoticeTarget.

An invalid NoticeTarget does not occur in the target list of any NoticeSource.

Definition at line 184 of file Notice.h.

NoticeTarget() [2/5]

casacore::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget ( NoticeSource *  v )

inlineprotected

Creates a "valid" NoticeTarget linked to the specified NoticeSource.

The NoticeTarget will be added to the target list in that NoticeSource.

Definition at line 190 of file Notice.h.

NoticeTarget() [3/5]

casacore::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget ( NoticeSource &  v )

inlineprotected

Definition at line 191 of file Notice.h.

NoticeTarget() [4/5]

casacore::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget ( NoticeTarget &  other )

inlineprotected

Creates a "valid" NoticeTarget linked to the same NoticeSource as the other NoticeTarget.

So, both NoticeTargets will occur in the same target list.

Definition at line 199 of file Notice.h.

References container, and isValid().

NoticeTarget() [5/5]

casacore::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget ( NoticeTarget *  other )

inlineprotected

Definition at line 201 of file Notice.h.

References isValid().

Member Function Documentation

attach() [1/2]

void casacore::NoticeTarget::attach ( NoticeSource *  v )

protected

Adds this NoticeTarget to the target list in the specified NoticeSource, so that it will receive all notices sent out by that NoticeSource.

attach() [2/2]

void casacore::NoticeTarget::attach ( NoticeSource &  v )

protected

invalidate()

void casacore::NoticeTarget::invalidate ( )

inline

Makes the current NoticeTarget "invalid".

Definition at line 169 of file Notice.h.

References casacore::False.

isAttached()

Bool casacore::NoticeTarget::isAttached ( ) const

inline

Returns a boolean value telling whether this NoticeTarget is still attached to a NoticeSource or not.

Definition at line 166 of file Notice.h.

References casacore::False, and casacore::True.

Referenced by casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::String >::isAttached().

isValid()

Bool casacore::NoticeTarget::isValid ( ) const

inline

Returns a boolean value telling whether this NoticeTarget is still "valid".

Definition at line 162 of file Notice.h.

Referenced by NoticeTarget().

link() [1/2]

void casacore::NoticeTarget::link ( const NoticeTarget &  other )

protected

Links this NoticeTarget to the same NoticeSource as the other NoticeTarget.

Any previous link will be undone.

link() [2/2]

void casacore::NoticeTarget::link ( const NoticeTarget *  other )

protected

next() [1/2]

Link<NoticeTarget*>* casacore::NoticeTarget::next ( )

inlineprotected

Retrieves the next NoticeTarget in the target list of the associated NoticeSource.

Definition at line 220 of file Notice.h.

References casacore::Link< t >::next().

next() [2/2]

const Link<NoticeTarget*>* casacore::NoticeTarget::next ( ) const

inlineprotected

Definition at line 223 of file Notice.h.

References casacore::Link< t >::next().

notify()

virtual void casacore::NoticeTarget::notify ( const Notice &  )

pure virtual

Hook through which NoticeTargets are notified (by NoticeSources).

Implemented in casacore::OrderedMapIterRep< key, value >, casacore::ConstListIter< t >, casacore::ConstListIter< casacore::OrderedPair< key, val > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< T >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Double > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Float >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< recordType >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Double >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< casacore::String > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Short >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< uChar >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Int >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Complex > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Int > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< DComplex >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Bool >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< recordType > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Short > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< Complex >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Float > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< uChar > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< outType >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< inType >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< T > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< Bool > >, casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::Array< DComplex > >, and casacore::RecordFieldPtr< casacore::String >.

unlink()

void casacore::NoticeTarget::unlink ( )

protected

Unlinks this NoticeTarget from its NoticeSource.

The NoticeTarget will be removed from the target list.
