Member Function Documentation

virtual int ACE_Configuration::enumerate_sections (  const ACE_Configuration_Section_Key &  key, int  index, ACE_TString &  name )  [pure virtual]

Increment index by one on each successive call to this method. name  Receives the subsection's name. Note: You may not modify the key section while enumerating. If the section is modified during enumeration, results are undefined; you must restart the enumeration from index 0. Return values: 0  for success, name has a valid name. 1  there are no more subsections in the section. -1  for error; ACE_OS::last_error() retrieves error code. Implemented in ACE_Configuration_Win32Registry, and ACE_Configuration_Heap.

Increment index by one on each successive call to this method. name  Receives the value's name. type  Receives the value's data type. Note: You may not delete or add values while enumerating. If the section is modified during enumeration, results are undefined; you must restart the enumeration from index 0. Return values: 0  for success, name and type are valid. 1  there are no more values in the section. -1  for error; ACE_OS::last_error() retrieves error code. Implemented in ACE_Configuration_Win32Registry, and ACE_Configuration_Heap.

Tests to see if <name> is valid. <name> must be < 255 characters and not contain the path separator '\', brackets [] or = (maybe just restrict to alphanumeric?) returns non zero if name is not valid. The path separator is allowed, except for the first character, if <allow_path> is true.

int ACE_Configuration::validate_value_name (  const ACE_TCHAR *  name  )  [protected]

Test to see if <name> is valid. The default value for a key can be unnamed, which means either <name> is == 0 or <name> == '` is valid. Otherwise, it calls validate_name() to test <name> for the same rules that apply to keys.
