Detailed Description

template<class T, class T_var>
class CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >

A helper template class for maintaining and managing a set of object reference.

This class provides a naive implementation of an object reference set. It is naive because it simply keeps object references in an objref_var array without checking for duplication. More importantly, it takes O(n) to to look for an object reference and return it. What we really need is a thread-safe hash_set<> like class here. Since this is mostly used only during setup/assemble time for a CIAO application, i.e., not on critical path, this class serves as a place holder for later, more efficient implementation.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T, class T_var>
CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::Object_Set CORBA::ULong  init_capacity = 10,
CORBA::ULong  step = 10
 

Default contructor that also allows initializing the initial capacity of the set and the increment step.

template<class T, class T_var>
CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::~Object_Set void   ) 
 

Default destructor.


Member Function Documentation

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::Long CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::add T *  objref  ) 
 

Adding a new object reference to the set. Return -1 if error occurred.

template<class T, class T_var>
ACE_INLINE T_var & CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::at CORBA::ULong  index  ) 
 

Access the underlying T_var array directly. This is added to get around a bug in TAO's sequence of object C++ mapping.

template<class T, class T_var>
ACE_INLINE CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::capacity void   )  const
 

Query the current capacity the set.

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::copy CORBA::ULong  size,
T **  buffer
 

Get a copy of the object reference set into the incoming array buffer with capacity of size. buffer is usually allocated using a sequence's allocbuf method. Notice that caller is responsible to release the object references in buffer.

Return values:
actual number of objrefs copied into buffer.

template<class T, class T_var>
void CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::grow void   )  [protected]
 

Grow the internal array holding the object references.

template<class T, class T_var>
int CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::object_in_set T *  objref  ) 
 

Check if an object is in the set. Return 0 if false.

template<class T, class T_var>
void CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::release void   ) 
 

Release all object references.

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::Long CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::remove T *  objref  ) 
 

Removing an object from the set. Return -1 if error occurred.

template<class T, class T_var>
ACE_INLINE CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::size void   )  const
 

Query the current size the set contains.


Member Data Documentation

template<class T, class T_var>
T_var* CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::buffer_ [protected]
 

Pointer to the dynamically allocated buffer that holds the object references.

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::capacity_ [protected]
 

Maximun capacity of this->buffer_;.

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::size_ [protected]
 

Current size in the set.

template<class T, class T_var>
CORBA::ULong CIAO::Object_Set< T, T_var >::step_ [protected]
 

How many more slots to add each time we expand the capacity of this set.
