Inheritance diagram for casa::AttributeValueBase:
Part of API
"AttributeValueBase" is a concatenation, representing a "Base" class for "Attribute Values."
This class is the base for storing Attribute values. Attributes are simple name-value pairs, where the name is a String, and the value can be a scalar or Array.
This class defines the type-independent interface for Attribute values, and the type-dependent interface and implementation is provided in AttributeValue . This type independent interface allows comparison of Attributes of different types.
To provide the non-templated (ie. type-independent) interface of AttributeValues in a single place, thus enabling the hiding of the templated aspect of Attributes from the end-user. In particular it allows implementation of the comparison operators in the base class, regardless of type.

It is implemented in terms of the pure virtual method matches, which must be implemented in derived classes. The operator== only returns True if this->matches(other) and other.matches(*this) are both True. This guarantees that if a == b it follows that b == a (this is enforced this way because a and b can be classes derived differently from AttributeValueBase which can therefore have a different implementation of match()).

| virtual AttributeValueBase* casa::AttributeValueBase::clone | ( | ) | const [pure virtual] |
Return a new copy of the AttributeValueBase.
