Member Function Documentation

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

Enumerates through the subsections in a section.

Parameters:
key  Section key to iterate through.
index  Iteration position. Must be zero on the first call to iterate through key. 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.

virtual int ACE_Configuration::enumerate_values const ACE_Configuration_Section_Key   key,

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.

int ACE_Configuration::validate_name const ACE_TCHAR   name,
int    allow_path = 0
[protected]
 

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> == '\0` is valid. Otherwise, it calls validate_name() to test <name> for the same rules that apply to keys.
