Detailed Description

A pattern that can be used to indicate when a parameter is intended to be the name of a directory. By itself, this class does not check whether the string that is given in a parameter file actually corresponds to an existing directory. Functionally, the class is therefore equivalent to the Anything class. However, it allows to specify the intent of a parameter.

The reason for the existence of this class is to support graphical user interfaces for editing parameter files. These may open a file selection dialog to select or create a directory.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ OutputStyle

List of possible description output formats.

Capitalization chosen for similarity to ParameterHandler::OutputStyle.

Enumerator
Machine 

Simple text suitable for machine parsing in the static public member functions for all of the built in inheriting classes.

Preferably human readable, but machine parsing is more critical.

Text 

Easily human readable plain text format suitable for plain text documentation.

LaTeX 

Easily human readable LaTeX format suitable for printing in manuals.

◆ DirectoryName()

Patterns::DirectoryName::DirectoryName ( )
default

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ match()

bool Patterns::DirectoryName::match ( const std::string &  test_string) const
overridevirtual

Return true if the string matches its constraints, i.e. always.

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 1616 of file patterns.cc.

◆ description()

std::string Patterns::DirectoryName::description ( const OutputStyle  style = Machine) const
overridevirtual

Return a description of the pattern that valid strings are expected to match. Here, this is the string "[Filename]".

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 1624 of file patterns.cc.

◆ clone()

std::unique_ptr< PatternBase > Patterns::DirectoryName::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return a copy of the present object, which is newly allocated on the heap. Ownership of that object is transferred to the caller of this function.

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 1652 of file patterns.cc.

◆ create()

std::unique_ptr< DirectoryName > Patterns::DirectoryName::create ( const std::string &  description)
static

Create a new object if the start of description matches description_init. Ownership of that object is transferred to the caller of this function.

Definition at line 1660 of file patterns.cc.

◆ memory_consumption()

std::size_t Patterns::PatternBase::memory_consumption ( ) const
virtualinherited

Determine an estimate for the memory consumption (in bytes) of this object. To avoid unnecessary overhead, we do not force derived classes to provide this function as a virtual overloaded one, but rather try to cast the present object to one of the known derived classes and if that fails then take the size of this base class instead and add 32 byte (this value is arbitrary, it should account for virtual function tables, and some possible data elements). Since there are usually not many thousands of objects of this type around, and since the memory_consumption mechanism is used to find out where memory in the range of many megabytes is, this seems like a reasonable approximation.

On the other hand, if you know that your class deviates from this assumption significantly, you can still overload this function.

Reimplemented in Patterns::Selection, Patterns::List, Patterns::Map, Patterns::Tuple, and Patterns::MultipleSelection.
