Detailed Description

Hierarchical structure of string parameters.

Member Function Documentation

get() [1/4]

template<class T >

T Dune::ParameterTree::get ( const std::string &  key ) const

inline

Get value.

Template Parameters

T	Type of the value

Parameters

key

Key name

Exceptions

RangeError	if key does not exist
NotImplemented	Type is not supported

Returns

value as T

References DUNE_THROW, hasKey(), and Dune::Exception::what().

get() [2/4]

std::string ParameterTree::get	(	const std::string &	key,
		const char *	defaultValue
	)		const

get value as string

Returns pure string value for given key.

Todo:

This is a hack so get("my_key", "xyz") compiles (without this method "xyz" resolves to bool instead of std::string)

Parameters

key	key name
defaultValue	default if key does not exist

Returns

value as string

References hasKey().

get() [3/4]

std::string ParameterTree::get	(	const std::string &	key,
		const std::string &	defaultValue
	)		const

get value as string

Returns pure string value for given key.

Parameters

key	key name
defaultValue	default if key does not exist

Returns

value as string

References hasKey().

get() [4/4]

template<typename T >

T Dune::ParameterTree::get ( const std::string &  key, const T &  defaultValue  ) const

inline

get value converted to a certain type

Returns value as type T for given key.

Template Parameters

T	type of returned value.

Parameters

key	key name
defaultValue	default if key does not exist

Returns

value converted to T

References hasKey().

getSubKeys()

const ParameterTree::KeyVector & ParameterTree::getSubKeys

(

)

const

get substructure keys

Returns a vector of all keys associated to (key,substructure) entries in order of appearance

Returns

reference to entry vector

getValueKeys()

const ParameterTree::KeyVector & ParameterTree::getValueKeys

(

)

const

get value keys

Returns a vector of all keys associated to (key,values) entries in order of appearance

Returns

reference to entry vector

hasKey()

bool ParameterTree::hasKey

(

const std::string &

key

)

const

test for key

Tests whether given key exists.

Parameters

key

key name

Returns

true if key exists in structure, otherwise false

References Dune::dot(), hasKey(), and sub().

Referenced by get(), hasKey(), and operator[]().

hasSub()

bool ParameterTree::hasSub

(

const std::string &

sub

)

const

test for substructure

Tests whether given substructure exists.

Parameters

sub	substructure name

Returns

true if substructure exists in structure, otherwise false

References Dune::dot(), hasSub(), and sub().

Referenced by hasSub(), and operator[]().

operator[]() [1/2]

std::string & ParameterTree::operator[]

(

const std::string &

key

)

get value reference for key

Returns reference to value for given key name. This creates the key, if not existent.

Parameters

key

key name

Returns

reference to corresponding value

References Dune::dot(), hasKey(), hasSub(), and sub().

operator[]() [2/2]

const std::string & ParameterTree::operator[]

(

const std::string &

key

)

const

get value reference for key

Returns reference to value for given key name. This creates the key, if not existent.

Parameters

key

key name

Returns

reference to corresponding value

Exceptions

Dune::RangeError

if key is not found

References Dune::dot(), DUNE_THROW, hasKey(), and sub().

report()

void ParameterTree::report	(	std::ostream &	stream = std::cout,
		const std::string &	prefix = ""
	)		const

print distinct substructure to stream

Prints all entries with given prefix.

Parameters

stream	Stream to print to
prefix	for key and substructure names

References report().

Referenced by report().

sub() [1/2]

ParameterTree & ParameterTree::sub

(

const std::string &

sub

)

get substructure by name

Parameters

sub	substructure name

Returns

reference to substructure

References Dune::dot(), and sub().

Referenced by hasKey(), hasSub(), operator[](), and sub().

sub() [2/2]

const ParameterTree & ParameterTree::sub

(

const std::string &

sub

)

const

get const substructure by name

Parameters

sub	substructure name

Returns

reference to substructure
