ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE > Class Template Reference

Builds a counted argument vector (ala argc/argv) from either a string or a set of separate tokens. This class preserves whitespace within tokens only if the whitespace-containing token is enclosed in either single (') or double (") quotes. This is consistent with the expected behavior if an argument vector obtained using this class is passed to, for example, ACE_Get_Opt. More...

Detailed Description

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
class ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >

Builds a counted argument vector (ala argc/argv) from either a string or a set of separate tokens. This class preserves whitespace within tokens only if the whitespace-containing token is enclosed in either single (') or double (") quotes. This is consistent with the expected behavior if an argument vector obtained using this class is passed to, for example, ACE_Get_Opt.

This class can substitute environment variable values for tokens that are environment variable references (e.g., $VAR). This only works if the token is an environment variable reference and nothing else; it doesn't substitute environment variable references within a token. For example, $HOME/file will not substitute the value of the HOME environment variable.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( const CHAR_TYPE  buf[],
bool  substitute_env_args = true 
) [inline, explicit]

Splits the specified string into an argument vector. Arguments in the string are delimited by whitespace. Whitespace-containing arguments must be enclosed in quotes, either single (') or double (").

Parameters:
buf A nul-terminated CHAR_TYPE array to split into arguments for the vector.
substitute_env_args If non-zero, any token that is an environment variable reference (e.g., $VAR) will have its environment variable value in the resultant vector in place of the environment variable name.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( int  argc,
CHAR_TYPE *  argv[],
bool  substitute_env_args = true,
bool  quote_args = false 
) [inline, explicit]

Initializes the argument vector from a set of arguments. Any environment variable references are translated (if applicable) during execution of this method. In contrast with ACE_ARGV_T(CHAR_TYPE *[], bool, bool), this ctor does not require argv to be 0-terminated as the number of arguments is provided explicitely.

Parameters:
argc The number of arguments in the argv array.
argv An array of tokens to initialize the object with. All needed data is copied from argv during this call; the pointers in argv are not needed after this call, and the memory referred to by argv is not referenced by this object.
substitute_env_args If non-zero, any element of argv that is an environment variable reference (e.g., $VAR) will have its environment variable value in the resultant vector in place of the environment variable name.
quote_args If non-zero each argument argv[i] needs to be enclosed in double quotes ('"').

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( CHAR_TYPE *  argv[],
bool  substitute_env_args = true,
bool  quote_args = false 
) [inline, explicit]

Initializes the argument vector from a set of arguments. Any environment variable references are translated (if applicable) during execution of this method.

Parameters:
argv An array of tokens to initialize the object with. The array must be terminated with a 0 pointer. All needed data is copied from argv during this call; the pointers in argv are not needed after this call, and the memory referred to by argv is not referenced by this object.
substitute_env_args If non-zero, any element of argv that is an environment variable reference (e.g., $VAR) will have its environment variable value in the resultant vector in place of the environment variable name.
quote_args If non-zero each argument argv[i] needs to be enclosed in double quotes ('"').

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( CHAR_TYPE *  first_argv[],
CHAR_TYPE *  second_argv[],
bool  substitute_env_args = true,
bool  quote_args = false 
) [inline]

Initializes the argument vector from two combined argument vectors.

Parameters:
first_argv An array of tokens to initialize the object with. The array must be terminated with a 0 pointer.
second_argv An array of tokens that is concatenated with the the tokens in first_argv. The array must be terminated with a 0 pointer.
substitute_env_args If non-zero, any element of first_argv or second_argv that is an environment variable reference (e.g., $VAR) will have its environment variable value in the resultant vector in place of the environment variable name.
quote_args If non-zero each arguments first_argv[i] and second_argv[i] needs to be enclosed in double quotes ('"').

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( bool  substitute_env_args = true  )  [inline, explicit]

Initialize this object so arguments can be added later using one of the add methods. This is referred to as the iterative method of adding arguments to this object.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::~ACE_ARGV_T ( void   )  [inline]

Destructor.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::ACE_ARGV_T ( const ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE > &   )  [private]

Copy constructor not implemented.


Member Function Documentation

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_INLINE const CHAR_TYPE * ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::operator[] ( size_t  index  )  [inline]

Returns the specified element of the current argument vector.

Parameters:
index Index to the desired element.
Return values:
Pointer to the indexed string.
0 if index is out of bounds.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_INLINE CHAR_TYPE ** ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::argv ( void   )  [inline]

Returns the current argument vector. The returned pointers are to data maintained internally to this class. Do not change or delete either the pointers or the memory to which they refer.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::argc ( void   )  const [inline]

Returns the current number of arguments.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_INLINE const CHAR_TYPE * ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::buf ( void   )  [inline]

Returns a single string form of the current arguments. The returned pointer refers to memory maintained internally to this class. Do not change or delete it.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
void ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::dump ( void   )  const [inline]

Dump the state of this object.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
int ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::add ( const CHAR_TYPE *  next_arg,
bool  quote_arg = false 
) [inline]

Add another argument. This only works in the iterative mode.

Note:
This method copies the specified pointer, but not the data contained in the referenced memory. Thus, if the content of the memory referred to by next_arg are changed after this method returns, the results are undefined.
Parameters:
next_arg Pointer to the next argument to add to the vector.
quote_arg The argument next_arg need to be quoted while adding to the vector.
Return values:
0 on success; -1 on failure. Most likely errno values are:
  • EINVAL: This object is not in iterative mode.
  • ENOMEM: Not enough memory available to save next_arg.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
int ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::add ( CHAR_TYPE *  argv[],
bool  quote_args = false 
) [inline]

Add an array of arguments. This only works in the iterative mode.

Note:
This method copies the specified pointers, but not the data contained in the referenced memory. Thus, if the content of the memory referred to by any of the argv elements is changed after this method returns, the results are undefined.
Parameters:
argv Pointers to the arguments to add to the vector. argv must be terminated by a 0 pointer.
quote_args If non-zero each argument argv[i] needs to be enclosed in double quotes ('"').
Return values:
0 on success; -1 on failure. Most likely errno values are:
  • EINVAL: This object is not in iterative mode.
  • ENOMEM: Not enough memory available to save next_arg.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
ACE_ARGV_T ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::operator= ( const ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE > &   )  [private]

Assignment operator not implemented.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
int ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::create_buf_from_queue ( void   )  [inline, private]

Creates buf_ from the queue of added args, deletes previous buf_.

template<typename CHAR_TYPE>
int ACE_ARGV_T< CHAR_TYPE >::string_to_argv ( void   )  [inline, private]

Converts buf_ into the CHAR_TYPE *argv[] format.
