Detailed Description

template<class DVL>
class DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >

Proxy for lvalue access to DataVector/DataList elements.

We need to be careful with lvalue references to DataVector/List elements. If the DataVector/List owns its elements, then if we write into the DataVector/List via an lvalue, the old element should be deleted (and the DataVector/List then takes ownership of the new value). We implement this by having the lvalue references return a proxy object rather than a raw reference. The proxy handles ownership issues. To do this, the proxy stores a pointer to the original container.

When inheritance is used with DataVector/List, we have the additional restriction that we can only write into the DataVector/List using the most-derived DataVector/List class. We also need to enforce that in ElementProxy when there's an attempt to write via an lvalue. We can also get this information from the original container.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class DVL >

DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >::ElementProxy	(	typename DVL::BaseContainer::iterator	i,

Constructor.

Parameters:

	i	The underlying container iterator pointing at the element which we're proxying.
	container	The container that the iterator references.

Member Function Documentation

template<class DVL >

DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >::operator typename DVL::value_type const

(

)

const [inline]

Conversion to a (const) pointer.

We just need to do a cast here.

template<class DVL >

DVL::value_type const DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >::operator->

(

)

const [inline]

Conversion to a (const) pointer.

We just need to do a cast here.

template<class DVL >

ElementProxy< DVL > & DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >::operator=

(

typename DVL::value_type

rhs

)

[inline]

Assignment operator, from a pointer.

Parameters:

rhs

The pointer from which we're assigning.

If rhs is the same as the element we're proxying, then we don't need to do anything. Otherwise, can_insert must be true. If the parent DataVector/List owns its elements, we then need to delete the proxied object before making the assignment.

template<class DVL >

ElementProxy< DVL > & DataModel_detail::ElementProxy< DVL >::operator=

(

const ElementProxy< DVL > &

rhs

)

[inline]

Assignment operator, from an Element proxy.

Parameters:

rhs

The proxy from which we're assigning.

If rhs is the same as the element we're proxying, then we don't need to do anything. Otherwise, can_insert must be true. If the parent DataVector/List owns its elements, we then need to delete the proxied object before making the assignment. We also disallow copying between two DataVector/List's, both of which own their elements.
