Detailed Description

TAO_Constraint_Evaluator traverse a constraint expression tree, and determines whether an offer fits the constraints represented by the tree.

Using the Visitor pattern, the TAO_Constraint_Evaluator has each node of the expression tree call back to it with the method designated for its type. In that method, the visitor will evaluate its operands and perform the operation designated by that node's type, and return the result. Note: the TAO_Constraint_Evaluator assumes the tree is semantically correct, that is, the validate method on TAO_Constraint_Validator return true. The only possible evaluation time errors are a divide by a property whose value is zero and undefined properties.

Member Function Documentation

void TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::do_the_op (  int  operation  )  [private]

Method for performing a arithmetic or comparison operation.

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::evaluate_constraint (  TAO_Constraint *  root  )

Evaluate returns 1 if the offer satisfies the constraints represented by the the expression tree rooted at <root>, 0 if it doesn't. If an error occurs during process, the constraint automatically fails.

int TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::evaluate_preference (  TAO_Constraint *  root, TAO_Literal_Constraint &  result )

The result of the preference evaluation is stored in result. The method returns 0 upon success, -1 upon failure.

TAO_Constraint_Evaluator& TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::operator= (  const TAO_Constraint_Evaluator &   )  [private]

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::sequence_does_contain (  CORBA::Any *  sequence, TAO_Literal_Constraint &  element )  [private]

Determine if sequence contains <element>, a literal of the same simple type as <sequence_type>. Return 1 in this eventuality.

int TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::visit_add (  TAO_Binary_Constraint *  boolean_add  )  [virtual]

Add the results of evaluating the left and right operands. Implements TAO_Constraint_Visitor.

int TAO_Constraint_Evaluator::visit_and (  TAO_Binary_Constraint *  boolean_and  )  [virtual]
