coherence::util::TypedCollections::TypedMap::EntryConverter

TypedCollections::TypedMap::EntryConverter Class Reference

#include <coherence/util/TypedCollections.hpp>

Inherits Object, and Converter.

List of all members.

Detailed Description

template<class K, class V>
class coherence::util::TypedCollections::TypedMap< K, V >::EntryConverter

A converter from untyped to typed entries: Map::Entry -> TypedEntry.

Public Types

typedef spec::Handle Handle

EntryConverter Handle definition.

typedef spec::View View

EntryConverter View definition.

typedef spec::Holder Holder

EntryConverter Holder definition.

Public Member Functions

virtual Object::Holder convert (Object::Holder oh) const

Convert an Object referenced by the supplied holder.

Parameters:

the holder to the Object to convert

Returns:: the holder to the converted Object

virtual bool isImmutable () const

Return true iff no further changes can be made to the Object, that would effect the outcome of a call to its equals method.

Except for Objects which are naturally immutable (such as String), being immutable generally implies that the Object is only referenced via const pointers or views. Objects which hold references to child Objects, may need to take the immutability of their children into account when determining their own immutability.

This extended check is not performed by the default implementation, but can be integrated into the immutability checks by overriding this method, as well as making use of MemberHandles to reference child Objects.

A typical derived implementation may look as follows:

 bool isImmutable() const
     {
     if (m_fImmutable) // check recorded state
         {
         return true; // already marked as immutable, avoid calculation
         }
     else if (Object::isImmutable()) // ensure shallow immutability
         {
         // ensure deep immutability
         if (m_child1->isImmutable() && m_child2->isImmutable() ...
                                     && m_childN->isImmutable())
             {
             // record and return immutability
             return m_fImmutable = true;
             }
         // some Objects which comprise this Object are still mutable
         }
     return false;
     }

The default implementation return true iff the Object is only referenced via const pointers and or views.

Returns:: true iff the Object is immutable
