Prerequisite

TableRecord.
RecordRep.

Etymology

TableRecordRep is the REPresentation of a TableRecord.

Synopsis

TableRecordRep is the actual implementation of a TableRecord object. It contains the description and the data. The data is stored as a collection of void* pointers to the actual data. By storing it in this indirect way, it is easier to extend the data block. It also means that RecordFieldPtr objects always have the correct pointer and do not need to be adjusted when the data block is extended.

Despite the fact that the data pointers have type void*, the functions are completely type safe. This is done by passing the type around using the DataType enumeration. The downpart is that only types from that enumeration are supported (but that is also required by the RecordDesc mechanics).

Note that TableRecordRep does not know anything about RecordFieldPtr objects pointing to its data. Only its mother class TableRecord knows about them and handles all cases where the RecordFieldPtr's have to be notified.

Fields containing tables are not directly handled using class Table. Instead the class TableKeyword is used to map a table name to a table and to take care of opening a table on demand.

Example

TableRecordRep mirrors all functions in TableRecord.

Motivation

Having a separate TableRecordRep class makes copy-on-write possible. It also allows derivation from RecordRep.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::TableRecordRep::TableRecordRep ( )

Create a record with no fields.

casacore::TableRecordRep::TableRecordRep ( const RecordDesc & description )

Create a record with the given description.

If it is not possible to create all fields (for example, if a field of an unsupported type is requested), an exception is thrown. All fields are checked by the field checking function (if defined).

casacore::TableRecordRep::TableRecordRep ( const TableRecordRep & other )

Create a copy of other using copy semantics.

casacore::TableRecordRep::~TableRecordRep ( )

Delete all data.

Member Function Documentation

void casacore::TableRecordRep::addField	(	const String &	name,
		const TableRecord &	value,
		RecordInterface::RecordType	type
	)

Add a field with the given name and value to the record.

The data type of the field is determined by the data type of the value.

void casacore::TableRecordRep::addField	(	const String &	name,
		const Table &	value,
		RecordInterface::RecordType	type
	)

virtual void casacore::TableRecordRep::addFieldToDesc	(	const String &	name,
		DataType	type,
		const IPosition &	shape,
		Bool	fixedShape
	)

protectedvirtual

Add a field to the description.

Reimplemented from casacore::RecordRep.

Bool casacore::TableRecordRep::areTablesMultiUsed ( ) const

Are subtables used in other processes.

Referenced by casacore::TableRecord::areTablesMultiUsed().

void casacore::TableRecordRep::closeTable ( Int whichField ) const

Close the table in the given field.

When accessed again, it will be opened automatically. This can be useful to save memory usage.

void casacore::TableRecordRep::closeTables ( ) const

Close all open tables.

When accessed again, it will be opened automatically. This can be useful to save memory usage.

Referenced by casacore::TableRecord::closeTables().

const String & casacore::TableRecordRep::comment ( Int whichField ) const

inline

Get the comment for this field.

Definition at line 268 of file TableRecordRep.h.

References casacore::RecordDesc::comment(), and desc_p.

Bool casacore::TableRecordRep::conform ( const TableRecordRep & other ) const

Returns True if this and other have the same RecordDesc, other than different names for the fields.

That is, the number, type and the order of the fields must be identical (recursively for fixed structured sub-Records in this).
Caution: thisRecord;conform(thatRecord) == True does not imply
thatRecord;conform(thisRecord) == True, because a variable record in one conforms a fixed record in that, but not vice-versa;

Referenced by casacore::TableRecord::conform().

void casacore::TableRecordRep::copy_other ( const TableRecordRep & other )

protected

Utility function to avoid code duplication in the public member functions.

void casacore::TableRecordRep::copyData ( const TableRecordRep & other )

Copy all data of the TableRecord.

void casacore::TableRecordRep::defineDataField	(	Int	whichField,
		DataType	type,
		const void *	value
	)

Define a value for the given field.

Array conformance rules will not be applied for variable shaped arrays. When the field and value data type mismatch, type promotion of scalars will be done if possible. If not possible, an exception is thrown.

const RecordDesc & casacore::TableRecordRep::description ( ) const
