Detailed Description

Deprecated:: Type-safe encapsulation of an EPL object, for passing arguments and return values into and out of plugin functions.

Note that the implementation of the AP_Type member functions is internal to the Engine. One consequence of this is that plugins cannot create a useful instance of this class themselves; the only valid AP_Type objects are those passed in to a plugin function by the Engine.

AP_Type is a "smart union" object – each instance holds a single value of one of the supported types and only allows access to data of that type.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool* AP_Type::booleanSequenceElements	(	size_t	start = `0`,
		size_t	length = `size_t(-1)`
	)		const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Generate an array of booleans encapsulating elements [start..start+length-1] of the sequence object.

This may or may not require copying the original EPL objects.

virtual bool AP_Type::booleanValue ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get the boolean value of the object

virtual void AP_Type::booleanValue ( bool val )

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Set the boolean value of the object

virtual AP_Chunk* const* AP_Type::chunkSequenceElements	(	size_t	start = `0`,
		size_t	length = `size_t(-1)`
	)		const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Generate an array of pointers to chunks encapsulating elements [start..start+length-1] of the sequence object.

This may or may not require copying the original EPL objects.

Note that the AP_Chunk pointers cannot be modified via this call. Use sequenceElement(), visitSequenceElements() or sequenceElements() instead, being sure to free any AP_Chunk instances that are replaced.

virtual AP_Chunk* AP_Type::chunkValue ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get the chunk value of the object

virtual AP_Chunk* AP_Type::chunkValue ( AP_Chunk * val ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Set the chunk value of the object.

The correlator takes ownership of the new AP_Chunk; it should not be deleted by the plugin.

The correlator releases ownership of the old AP_Chunk and returns it to the plug-in for disposal.

The old pointer, or new, or both, may be null.

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Copy another AP_Type into this, regardless of type

virtual void AP_Type::createSequence ( AP_TypeDiscriminator inner )

virtual void AP_Type::releaseBooleanSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to booleanSequenceElements() and ensures that any changes made to the sequence elements are reflected in the underlying EPL objects.

Arrays previously returned by booleanSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseChunkSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to chunkSequenceElements().

Arrays previously returned by chunkSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseDecimalSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to decimalSequenceElements() and ensures that any changes made to the sequence elements are reflected in the underlying EPL objects.

Arrays previously returned by decimalSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseFloatSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to floatSequenceElements() and ensures that any changes made to the sequence elements are reflected in the underlying EPL objects.

Arrays previously returned by floatSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseIntegerSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to integerSequenceElements() and ensures that any changes made to the sequence elements are reflected in the underlying EPL objects.

Arrays previously returned by integerSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to sequenceElements() and ensures that any changes made to the sequence elements are reflected in the underlying EPL objects.

Any arrays previously returned by sequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

virtual void AP_Type::releaseStringSequenceElements ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Free the resources allocated by all preceding calls to stringSequenceElements() and copies any changes made to the sequence elements to the underlying EPL objects.

Arrays previously returned by stringSequenceElements() immediately become invalid. This function is automatically called when a sequence AP_Type is destroyed, but can be invoked explicitly by a plugin to copy changes back during a long-running computation.

Note that string sequence element arrays do not own the strings they reference and will never delete a string the plugin has placed in the array - if the plugin has set a value, it must delete that string (and it cannot use the value in the array returned from stringSequenceElement

plugins will need to keep another pointer to any new strings they create.

virtual AP_Type& AP_Type::sequenceElement ( size_t index ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get a reference to a single sequence element.

The element AP_Type remains usable until the sequence AP_Type is destroyed.

virtual AP_Type* const* AP_Type::sequenceElements	(	size_t	start = `0`,
		size_t	length = `size_t(-1)`
	)		const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Generate an array of pointers to AP_Type objects, encapsulating elements [start..start+length-1] of the sequence object.

This may or may not require copying the original EPL objects.

virtual size_t AP_Type::sequenceLength ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get the number of elements in a sequence object

virtual AP_TypeDiscriminator AP_Type::sequenceType ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get the element type of a sequence object

virtual void AP_Type::setSequenceLength ( size_t length ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Set the length of a sequence object.

Increasing the length will populate the sequence with default-initialised objects. Decreasing the length will remove items from the end.

You are not permitted to call setSequenceLength after calling sequenceElements without releasing the elements. If you call setSequenceLength any references returned from sequenceElement or operator[] are invalid and may not be used.

		size_t	length = `size_t(-1)`
	)		const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Generate an array of string pointers encapsulating elements [start..start+length-1] of the sequence object.

This may or may not require copying the original EPL objects. Strings pointed to by this sequence are only valid for the lifetime of a call into the plugin.

virtual const char8* AP_Type::stringValue ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Get the string value of the object

virtual void AP_Type::stringValue ( const char8 * val )

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Set the string value of the object.

Note that this is only possible on sequence elements and return values, not arguments (which are const)

template<typename FN >

		size_t	start = `0`,
		size_t	length = `size_t(-1)`
	)		const

inline

Deprecated:: Visit the specified elements of a sequence using the specified functor.

Although less convenient than other sequence element accessors, it is more efficient as it entails no memory allocation.
