Detailed Description

template<class DATATYPE>
class ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >

Field to represent a dynamic vector of DATATYPE values.

Definition at line 62 of file mlMultiFields.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MultiField()

template<class DATATYPE >
ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::MultiField ( const std::string & name = "")
inline

Empty Constructor: Create a field with name name.

Internally, a std::vector is used with initial size of zero.

Definition at line 70 of file mlMultiFields.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getMultiField() [1/2]

template<class DATATYPE >
const std::vector< DATATYPE > & ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::getMultiField ( ) const
inline

Returns the vector of the field.

Definition at line 158 of file mlMultiFields.h.

◆ getMultiField() [2/2]

template<class DATATYPE >
void ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::getMultiField ( DATATYPE values[],
size_t numValues )
inline

Get values from the field into values which is an array of values.

numValues must indicate the number of values to be written into values. values must have enough capacity to contain at least numValues. Note: If the MultiField has less than numValues entries then only the number of MultiField entries is written into values and the rest of the values is left unchanged.

Definition at line 129 of file mlMultiFields.h.

◆ getNonConstMultiField()

template<class DATATYPE >
std::vector< DATATYPE > & ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::getNonConstMultiField ( )
inline

Returns the vector of the field as modifiable reference.

Definition at line 166 of file mlMultiFields.h.

◆ getSize()

template<class DATATYPE >
size_t ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::getSize ( ) const
inline

Returns number of entries in vector.

Definition at line 174 of file mlMultiFields.h.

◆ getStringValue()

template<class DATATYPE >
std::string ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::getStringValue ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the value as string value.

Implements ml::Field.

Reimplemented in ml::StringLineMultiField.

Definition at line 148 of file mlMultiFields.h.

References mlrange_cast().

◆ setMultiField() [1/2]

template<class DATATYPE >
void ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::setMultiField ( const DATATYPE values[],
size_t numValues )
inline

Set values of the field to values which is an array of values.

numValues must indicate exactly the number of values to be set and values must contain all these values.

Definition at line 101 of file mlMultiFields.h.

References ML_BAD_POINTER_OR_0, mlrange_cast(), and ml::printTemplateFatalError().

◆ setMultiField() [2/2]

template<class DATATYPE >
void ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::setMultiField ( const std::vector< DATATYPE > & value)
inline

Set values of the field to value which is a std::vector.

Definition at line 90 of file mlMultiFields.h.

◆ setStringValue()

template<class DATATYPE >
void ml::MultiField< DATATYPE >::setStringValue ( const std::string & value)
inlineoverridevirtual

Set value to value.

The value string is parsed and it is assumed that each value is separated by 'space'. If a 'wrong' character is detected the parsing stops and only the values before this character are used.

Implements ml::Field.

Reimplemented in ml::StringLineMultiField.
