Detailed Description

The Metadata class is a smart pointer.

It represents a variety of metadata, i.e., a (name, value) pair, which might be associated with a Component, e.g., IDs, names, layers, user-defined or format-specific attributes, etc.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HPS.Metadata.Metadata ( )

The default constructor creates an uninitialized Metadata object.

The Type() function will return Type::None.

HPS.Metadata.Metadata ( HPS.Metadata  in_that)

The copy constructor creates a Metadata object that shares the underlying smart-pointer of the source Metadata.

Parameters
in_thatThe source <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref> to copy.
HPS.Metadata.Metadata ( string  in_name)

This constructor creates a Metadata with a given name.

Parameters
in_nameThe UTF8-encoded name for this <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref>.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void HPS.Metadata.Assign ( HPS.Metadata  in_that)
virtual

Share the underlying smart-pointer of the Metadata source.

Parameters
in_thatThe <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref> source of the assignment.
Returns
A reference to this Metadata.
bool HPS.Metadata.Equals ( HPS.Metadata  in_that)

Check if the source Metadata points to the same underlying impl as this Metadata.

Parameters
in_thatThe source <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref> to compare to this <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref>.
Returns
true if the objects reference the same impl, false otherwise.
string HPS.Metadata.GetName ( )

Gets the name for this Metadata.

Returns
The name for this Metadata.
override HPS.Type HPS.Metadata.ObjectType ( )
virtual

This function returns the type the object, as declared.

This does not necessarily give the true type of the underlying object.

Returns
The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

Reimplemented from HPS.Object.

Reimplemented in HPS.StringMetadata, HPS.TimeMetadata, and HPS.UnsignedIntegerMetadata.

void HPS.Metadata.SetName ( string  in_name)

Sets the name for this Metadata.

Parameters
in_nameA UTF8-encoded name for this <ref refid="class_h_p_s_1_1_metadata" kindref="compound">Metadata</ref>.
