Public Member Functions

virtual Object::View

getKey () const

Return the key corresponding to this entry.

Returns:: the key corresponding to this entry.

virtual Object::Holder

getValue () const

Return the value corresponding to this entry.

Returns:: the value corresponding to this entry.

virtual Object::Holder

setValue (Object::Holder ohValue)

Update the value corresponding to this entry.

Parameters:

ohValue

the new value for the entry

Returns:: the prior value

virtual bool

equals (Object::View that) const

virtual size32_t

hashCode () const

Return a hash code value for the Object.

This method is supported for the benefit of hash-based containers.

The general contract of hashCode is:

Whenever it is invoked on the same Object more than once during an execution of an application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same value, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This value need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
If two Objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two Objects must produce the same value.
It is not required that if two Objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash-based containers.

The default implementation is identity based.

Returns:: a hash code value for this Object

virtual TypedHandle
< const String >

toString () const

Output a human-readable description of this Object to the given stream.

Note that when overriding this method the return type must be TypedHandle<const String> rather then String::View. These two types are assignment compatible but not equivalent and declaring the override with String::View will not be a compatible override.

coherence::lang::operator<<(std::ostream, Object::View) is defined and will call into the toString method, to output Objects. If a managed String object is desired, the COH_TO_STRING macro can be used to build up a String from streamable contents and is generally how toString() will be implemented.

 Object::View vKey   = ...
 Object::View vValue = ...
 std::cout << vKey << " = " << vValue << std::endl;

 String::View vs = COH_TO_STRING(vKey << " = " << vValue);

The COH_TO_STRING macro is also the most common way to implement the toString method. For example:

 virtual TypedHandle<const String> Person::toString() const
     {
     return COH_TO_STRING("Name: " << f_sName << " SSN: " << f_nSSN);
     }

Returns:: a string representation of this object
