Synopsis

A NoticeTarget receives the Notices from the NoticeSource to which it is linked. A target can only be linked to one source.

Classes which are dependent upon a particular NoticeSource should derive from this class.

Example

ListIter and its parent class ConstListIter are the iterators or "dynamic" cursors in the linked List . They are derived from NoticeTarget, and the notice system ensures that multiple cursors are updated as elements are added and removed from the list, according to the following scheme:

1. An iterator changes something to the underlying list.
2. The iterator creates a ListNotice containing all the necessary information about the change.
3. The iterator passes the notice to the NoticeSource List .
4. The list relays the notice to all other iterators operating on the list (kept in the "target list").
5. Every iterator catches the notice and changes its state accordingly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual casa::NoticeTarget::~NoticeTarget

(

)

[virtual]

Destructs this NoticeTarget.

casa::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget

(

)

[inline, protected]

Creates an unlinked, "invalid" NoticeTarget.

An invalid NoticeTarget does not occur in the target list of any NoticeSource.

Definition at line 183 of file Notice.h.

casa::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget

(

NoticeSource *

v

)

[inline, protected]

Creates a "valid" NoticeTarget linked to the specified NoticeSource.

The NoticeTarget will be added to the target list in that NoticeSource.

Definition at line 189 of file Notice.h.

References attach().

casa::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget

(

NoticeSource &

v

)

[inline, protected]

Definition at line 190 of file Notice.h.

References attach().

casa::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget

(

NoticeTarget &

other

)

[inline, protected]

Creates a "valid" NoticeTarget linked to the same NoticeSource as the other NoticeTarget.

So, both NoticeTargets will occur in the same target list.

Definition at line 198 of file Notice.h.

References attach(), container, and isValid().

casa::NoticeTarget::NoticeTarget

NoticeTarget *

other

)

[inline, protected]

Definition at line 200 of file Notice.h.

References attach(), and isValid().

Member Function Documentation

void casa::NoticeTarget::attach

(

NoticeSource *

v
