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
keySection key to iterate through.
indexIteration position. Must be zero on the first call to iterate through key. Increment index by one on each successive call to this method.
nameReceives 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
0for success, name has a valid name.
1there are no more subsections in the section.
-1for error; ACE_OS::last_error() retrieves error code.

Implemented in ACE_Configuration_Heap, and ACE_Configuration_Win32Registry.

virtual int ACE_Configuration::enumerate_values ( const ACE_Configuration_Section_Key key,

ACE_TString name,
VALUETYPE type 
)
pure virtual

Enumerates through the values in a section.

Parameters
keySection key to iterate through.

nameReceives the value's name.
typeReceives 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
0for success, name and type are valid.

int ACE_Configuration::validate_name ( const ACE_TCHAR name,
int  allow_path = 0

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.
