Detailed Description

This data type is used to hold a collection of related data types, in a manner roughly corresponding to a C structure. The member types can be simple or compound types, and can include other Structures.

The DAP2 structure is defined as a singly-linked list. This means that Structure elements can be accessed either by name, with the var() function, or by their position in the list, either with the overloaded version of var(), or the combination of the first_var() and next_var() functions.

The val2buf() and buf2val() functions only return the size of the structure. To read parts of a DAP2 Structure into an application program, use the buf2val() function of the element of the Structure in question.

Note that the predicate-setting functions set_send_p() and set_read_p() set their flags for the Structure as well as for each of the Structure's member elements.

Similar to C, you can refer to members of Structure elements with a ``.'' notation. For example, if the Structure has a member Structure called ``Tom'' and Tom has a member Float32 called ``shoe_size'', then you can refer to Tom's shoe size as ``Tom.shoe_size''.

Todo:
Refactor with Sequence moving methods up into Constructor.

bool libdap::Structure::check_semantics ( string &  msg,
bool  all = false 
) [virtual]

This function checks the class instance for internal consistency. This is important to check for complex constructor classes. For BaseType, an object is semantically correct if it has both a non-null name and type.

For example, an Int32 instance would return FALSE if it had no name or no type defined. A Grid instance might return FALSE for more complex reasons, such as having Map arrays of the wrong size or shape.

This function is used by the DDS class, and will rarely, if ever, be explicitly called by a DODS application program. A variable must pass this test before it is sent, but there may be many other stages in a retrieve operation where it would fail.

Returns:
Returns FALSE when the current state violates some aspect of the type semantics, TRUE otherwise.
Parameters:
msg A returned string, containing a message indicating the source of any problem.
all For complex constructor types (Grid, Sequence, Structure), this flag indicates whether to check the semantics of the member variables, too.

bool libdap::Structure::deserialize ( UnMarshaller um,

bool  reuse = false 
) [virtual]

Receives data from the network connection identified by the source parameter. The data is put into the class data buffer according to the input dds.

This function is only used on the client side of the DODS client/server connection.

Parameters:
um An UnMarshaller that knows how to deserialize data types
dds The Data Descriptor Structure object corresponding to this dataset. See The DODS User Manual for information about this structure. This would have been received from the server in an earlier transmission.
reuse A boolean value, indicating whether the class internal data storage can be reused or not. If this argument is TRUE, the class buffer is assumed to be large enough to hold the incoming data, and it is not reallocated. If FALSE, new storage is allocated. If the internal buffer has not been allocated at all, this argument has no effect.
Returns:
Always returns TRUE.
Exceptions:
Error when a problem reading from the UnMarshaller is found.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int libdap::Structure::element_count ( bool  leaves = false  )  [virtual]

Return a count of the total number of variables in this variable. This is used to count the number of variables held by a constructor variable - for simple type and vector variables it always returns 1.

For compound data types, there are two ways to count members. You can count the members, or you can count the simple members and add that to the count of the compound members. For example, if a Structure contains an Int32 and another Structure that itself contains two Int32 members, the element count of the top-level structure could be two (one Int32 and one Structure) or three (one Int32 by itself and two Int32's in the subsidiary Structure). Use the leaves parameter to control which kind of counting you desire.

Returns:
Returns 1 for simple types. For compound members, the count depends on the leaves argument.
Parameters:
leaves This parameter is only relevant if the object contains other compound data types. If FALSE, the function counts only the data variables mentioned in the object's declaration. If TRUE, it counts the simple members, and adds that to the sum of the counts for the compound members. This parameter has no effect for simple type variables.

void libdap::Structure::intern_data ( const string &  dataset,
ConstraintEvaluator eval,
DDS dds 
) [virtual]

Similar to using serialize() and deserialize() together in one object. Data are read as for serialize and those values are stored in the objects as deserialize() does but does not write and then read data to/from a stream.

This method is defined by the various data type classes. It calls the read() abstract method.

Parameters:
dataset The (local) name of dataset to be read.
eval Use this as the constraint expression evaluator.
dds The Data Descriptor Structure object corresponding to this dataset. See The DODS User Manual for information about this structure.

bool libdap::BaseType::is_in_selection (  )  [virtual, inherited]

Does this variable appear in either the selection part or as a function argument in the current constrain expression. If this property is set (true) then implementations of the read() method should read this variable.

Note:
This method does not check, nor does it know about the semantics of, string arguments passed to functions. Those functions might include variable names in strings; they are responsible for reading those variables. See the grid (func_grid_select()) for an example.

bool libdap::Structure::is_linear (  )  [virtual]

True if the instance can be flattened and printed as a single table of values. For Arrays and Grids this is always false. For Structures and Sequences the conditions are more complex. The implementation provided by this class always returns false. Other classes should override this implementation.

Todo:
Change the name to is_flattenable or something like that. 05/16/03 jhrg

Here is the call graph for this function:

bool libdap::BaseType::ops ( BaseType b,
int  op,
const string &  dataset 
) [virtual, inherited]

This method contains the relational operators used by the constraint expression evaluator in the DDS class. Each class that wants to be able to evaluate relational expressions must overload this function. The implementation in BaseType throws an InternalErr exception. The DAP library classes Byte, ..., Url provide specializations of this method. It is not meaningful for classes such as Array because relational expressions using Array are not supported.

The op argument refers to a table generated by bison from the constraint expression parser. Use statements like the following to correctly interpret its value:

    switch (op) {
        case EQUAL: return i1 == i2;
        case NOT_EQUAL: return i1 != i2;
        case GREATER: return i1 > i2;
        case GREATER_EQL: return i1 >= i2;
        case LESS: return i1 < i2;
        case LESS_EQL: return i1 <= i2;
        case REGEXP: throw Error("Regular expressions are not supported for integer values");
        default: throw Error("Unknown operator");
    }
    

This function is used by the constraint expression evaluator.

Parameters:
b Compare the value of this instance with b.
op An integer index indicating which relational operator is implied. Choose one from the following: EQUAL, NOT_EQUAL, GREATER, GREATER_EQL, LESS, LESS_EQL, and REGEXP.
dataset The name of the dataset from which the instance's data has come (or is to come).
Returns:
The boolean value of the comparison.

void libdap::Constructor::print_decl ( ostream &  out,
string  space = "    ",
bool  print_semi = true,
bool  constraint_info = false,
bool  constrained = false 
) [virtual, inherited]

Write the variable's declaration in a C-style syntax. This function is used to create textual representation of the Data Descriptor Structure (DDS). See The DODS User Manual for information about this structure.

A simple array declaration might look like this:

    Float64 lat[lat = 180];
    
While a more complex declaration (for a Grid, in this case), would look like this:
    Grid {
    ARRAY:
    Int32 sst[time = 404][lat = 180][lon = 360];
    MAPS:
    Float64 time[time = 404];
    Float64 lat[lat = 180];
    Float64 lon[lon = 360];
    } sst;
    

Parameters:
out The output stream on which to print the declaration.
space Each line of the declaration will begin with the characters in this string. Usually used for leading spaces.
print_semi A boolean value indicating whether to print a semicolon at the end of the declaration.
constraint_info A boolean value indicating whether constraint information is to be printed with the declaration. If the value of this parameter is TRUE, print_decl() prints the value of the variable's send_p() flag after the declaration.
constrained If this boolean value is TRUE, the variable's declaration is only printed if is the send_p() flag is TRUE. If a constraint expression is in place, and this variable is not requested, the send_p() flag is FALSE.
