Member Function Documentation

endList()

void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::endList

(

)

Ends reading/writing of the list.

endListImpl()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::endListImpl ( )

protectedpure virtual

Implemented in ml::XMLPersistenceInputStream, and ml::XMLPersistenceOutputStream.

endStruct()

void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::endStruct

(

)

Ends reading/writing of struct values.

endStructImpl()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::endStructImpl ( )

protectedpure virtual

Implemented in ml::XMLPersistenceInputStream, and ml::XMLPersistenceOutputStream.

internalError()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::internalError ( const char * msg, const char * arg = nullptr )

protectedvirtual

Logs an internal error. Usually called to indicate wrong usage of interface.

isBinary()

virtual bool ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::isBinary ( ) const

pure virtual

Is the stream in a binary format? Otherwise, it is in a human-readable text format.

Users might adapt the persistence depending on this value.

Implemented in ml::XMLPersistenceInputStream, and ml::XMLPersistenceOutputStream.

isInList()

bool ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::isInList ( ) const

inlineprotected

Checks whether the stream is currently in 'list' mode. Otherwise, it is in 'struct' mode.

Definition at line 96 of file mlAbstractPersistenceStream.h.

nameCheck()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::nameCheck ( const char * name )

protectedvirtual

Checks whether the name is provided when being in a subgroup, or that no name is provided when being in a list. Otherwise, an error is logged.

Reimplemented in ml::AbstractPersistenceOutputStream.

Referenced by ml::AbstractPersistenceInputStream::read(), ml::AbstractPersistenceInputStream::read(), ml::AbstractPersistenceInputStream::read(), and ml::AbstractPersistenceInputStream::read().

nestingDepth()

size_t ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::nestingDepth ( ) const

inlineprotected

Returns depth of nesting stack (created by startList/startStruct), used to check nesting rules.

Definition at line 99 of file mlAbstractPersistenceStream.h.

startList()

void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::startList	(	const char *	name = nullptr,
		const char *	xmlItemName = "Item",
		bool	xmlSuppressScope = false )

Starts a new list of values in the data stream, must be ended with endList(). Subsequent read or write calls are not allowed to provide a name for items. Listed items should all be of the same type.

For legacy reasons (old XML persistence interface), one can specify the name for list items and whether the list should not start a separate scope. The list simply consists of items of the same name then. You still need to specify an object name for other formats.

startListImpl()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::startListImpl ( const char * name, const char * xmlItemName, bool xmlSuppressScope )

protectedpure virtual

Abstract methods called by above methods, needs to be implemented in derived classes. Implementors do not need to perform error checking. xmlItemName and xmlSuppressScope only need to be regarded for XML format.

Implemented in ml::XMLPersistenceInputStream, and ml::XMLPersistenceOutputStream.

startStruct()

void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::startStruct

(

const char *

name = nullptr

)

Starts a new struct of values in the data stream, must be ended with endStruct(). Subsequent read or write calls need to provide a name for the different values.

startStructImpl()

virtual void ml::AbstractPersistenceStream::startStructImpl ( const char * name )

protectedpure virtual

Implemented in ml::XMLPersistenceInputStream, and ml::XMLPersistenceOutputStream.
