The accumulated strings are moved into RawRecords, which reduces
execution time (rough measurements indicates 4-8%). To facilitate this,
RawRecords are stored directly in the vector in favour of via
shared_ptrs.
Since the Deck* family of classes have changed their interfaces to no
longer use shared_ptr, a lot of code broke. This patch fixes all
problems in tests, other signatures and accesses to now use the new Deck
interfaces.
Every header is self-contained and includes only what it must to
function, relying on users include what they need in source files,
adopting a pay-what-you-use model (in particular for internal
dependencies).
With this commit the generation of built in keywords is completely
changed. The most important changes include:
1) We have autogenerated a class for each keyword in the new
ParserKeywords { ... } namespace.
2) The autogenerated classes derive from ParserKeyword, and the
default constructor will build of a fully initialized
ParserKeyword instance, i.e. the keyword used to parse the EQUIL
keyword can be instantiated as simple as:
ParserKeywords::EQUIL kw;
3) The generated keywords have built in static constants for keyword
and item names, and item default values. That way it should be
possible for the compiler to catch trivial errors like trying to
access the keyword "PoRO"; also the the access to default values
means that properties can be initialized without actually
insantiating a DeckKeyword.
4) Two new classes Generator/KeywordLoader and
Generator/KeywordGenerator have been created, with the help of
these classes the keyword generation code is significantly
simplified.
This is the first of several large commits changing several aspects of
the handling of defaults. The overall main purpose of these changes is
to protect against using non sensible values in the case the values have
not been sensibly specified in the deck. The changes in this commit
include:
1. The "default default" values to be used when an item without an
explicit default are defaulted are removed completely.
2. If a ParserItem is queried for a default value when no default has
been assigned it will raise an exception.
equals(ParserIntItem&) has a different signature than equals(ParserItem&),
thus the former method does *not* overload the latter. Virtual just means
then only means that you have created a *new* entry in the v-table. If
you call equals through a pointer/reference to the base class ParserItem,
the defined method in the derived class is not called, and we miss out the
test for the equal default value.
Instead, we should take an argument of the base type and use a dynamic
cast to the derived type. If this downcast fails, then they are not equal;
otherwise we have gotten ourselves a pointer to get the properly typed
default value.
We must use pointers instead of references; if we cast to a reference,
a bad_cast exception is thrown if the expression is not in the proper
type hierarchy.
