Detailed Description

A linked object base class with members found by name.

This class is used to help form named option lists and other forms of name indexed associative data structures. The id is assumed to be passed from a dupped or dynamically allocated string. If a constant string is used then you must not call delete for this object.

Named objects are either listed on an ordered list or keyed through an associate hash map table. When using a hash table, the name id string is used to determine the slot number to use in a list of n sized linked object lists. Hence, a hash index refers to a specific sized array of object indexes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ucc::NamedObject::NamedObject ( NamedObject **  hash,
char *  name,
unsigned  size = 1 
) [protected]

Create a named object and add to hash indexed list.

Parameters:
hash map table to list node on.
name of the object we are listing.
size of hash map table used.
ucc::NamedObject::NamedObject ( OrderedIndex index,
char *  name 
) [protected]

Created a named object on an ordered list.

This is commonly used to form attribute lists.

Parameters:
index to list object on.
name of the object we are listing.
ucc::NamedObject::~NamedObject (  )  [protected]

Destroy named object.

We do not always destroy named objects, since we may use them in reusable pools or we may initialize a list that we keep permenantly. If we do invoke delete for something based on NamedObject, then be aware the object id is assumed to be formed from a dup'd string which will also be freed unless clearId is overriden.


Member Function Documentation

void ucc::NamedObject::add ( NamedObject **  hash,
char *  name,
unsigned  size = 1 
)

Add object to hash indexed list.

Parameters:
hash map table to list node on.
name of the object we are listing.
size of hash map table used.
virtual void ucc::NamedObject::clearId ( void   )  [protected, virtual]

The behavior of clearing id's can be overriden if they are not assigned as strdup's from the heap.

..

virtual bool ucc::NamedObject::compare ( char *  name  )  [virtual]

Compare the name of our object to see if equal.

This is a virtual so that it can be overriden when using named lists or hash lookups that must be case insensitive.

Parameters:
name to compare our name to.
Returns:
true if effectivily equal.
static unsigned ucc::NamedObject::count ( NamedObject **  hash,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Count the total named objects in a hash table.

Parameters:
hash map table of objects to index.
size of hash map table used.
static NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::find ( NamedObject root,
char *  name 
) [static]

Find a named object from a simple list.

This may also use the begin() member of an ordered index of named objects.

Parameters:
root node of named object list.
name of object to find.
Returns:
object pointer or NULL if not found.
char* ucc::NamedObject::getId ( void   )  [inline]

Get the named id string of this object.

Returns:
name id.

Definition at line 524 of file linked.h.

NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::getNext ( void   )  [inline]

Get next effective object when iterating.

Returns:
next linked object in list.

Reimplemented from ucc::OrderedObject.

Definition at line 517 of file linked.h.

static NamedObject** ucc::NamedObject::index ( NamedObject **  hash,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Convert a hash index into a linear object pointer array.

The object pointer array is created from the heap and must be deleted when no longer used.

Parameters:
hash map table of objects to index.
size of hash map table used.
Returns:
array of named object pointers.
static unsigned ucc::NamedObject::keyindex ( char *  name,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Internal function to convert a name to a hash index number.

Parameters:
name to convert into index.
size of map table.
static NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::map ( NamedObject **  hash,
char *  name,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Find a named object through a hash map table.

Parameters:
hash map table of objects to search.
name of object to find.
size of hash map table.
Returns:
object pointer or NULL if not found.
bool ucc::NamedObject::operator!= ( char *  name  )  [inline]

Comparison operator between our name and a string.

Parameters:
name to compare with.
Returns:
true if not equal.

Definition at line 549 of file linked.h.

bool ucc::NamedObject::operator== ( char *  name  )  [inline]

Comparison operator between our name and a string.

Parameters:
name to compare with.
Returns:
true if equal.

Definition at line 541 of file linked.h.

static void ucc::NamedObject::purge ( NamedObject **  hash,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Purge a hash indexed table of named objects.

Parameters:
hash map table to purge.
size of hash map table used.
static NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::remove ( NamedObject **  hash,
char *  name,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Remove an object from a hash map table.

Parameters:
hash map table of object to remove from.
name of object to remove.
size of hash map table.
Returns:
object that is removed or NULL if not found.
static NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::remove ( NamedObject **  root,
char *  name 
) [static]

Remove a named object from a simple list.

Parameters:
root node of named object list.
name of object to find.
Returns:
object pointer or NULL if not found.
static NamedObject* ucc::NamedObject::skip ( NamedObject **  hash,
NamedObject current,
unsigned  size 
) [static]

Iterate through a hash map table.

Parameters:
hash map table to iterate.
current named object we iterated or NULL to find start of list.
size of map table.
Returns:
next named object in hash map or NULL if no more objects.
static NamedObject** ucc::NamedObject::sort ( NamedObject **  list,
size_t  count = 0 
) [static]

Sort an array of named objects in alphabetical order.

This would typically be used to sort a list created and returned by index().

Parameters:
list of named objects to sort.
count of objects in the list or 0 to find by NULL pointer.
Returns:
list in sorted order.
