Detailed Description

TAO_Constraint is the base class of all nodes on the constraint expression tree.

An TAO_Constraint knows what type of operation or entity it represents, and which method on TAO_Constraint_Visitor correlates to its type. When the accept method is invoked, a subclass dispatches the method on an TAO_Constraint_Visitor correlating to its type.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int TAO_Constraint::accept ( TAO_Constraint_Visitor visitor  )  [pure virtual]

Implementing the pattern of double dispatching, each subclass of TAO_Constraint will call back on an InterpreterVisitor the method to handle a node of its ExpressionType.

Implemented in TAO_Noop_Constraint, TAO_Binary_Constraint, TAO_Unary_Constraint, TAO_Property_Constraint, and TAO_Literal_Constraint.

virtual TAO_Expression_Type TAO_Constraint::expr_type ( void   )  const [pure virtual]

Return the expression type represented by this node.

Implemented in TAO_Noop_Constraint, TAO_Binary_Constraint, TAO_Unary_Constraint, TAO_Property_Constraint, and TAO_Literal_Constraint.
