Detailed Description

template<class Val, class Attr, class Cont>
class simth::SignalSequenceAccess< Val, Attr, Cont >

Implementation of a shallow copy of a sequence.

Note:

Why do we need such a complex structure for the Signal classes? Please read the comment in signals.h for an explanation.

This class behaves similar to a vector of the standard template library (STL), but it does not allocate any storage by itself. Instead, it only represents a shallow copy of another storage allocated elsewhere.

Characteristics: Element access in this class always directly affects the elements of the referenced SignalSequenceStorage class. Resizing to a larger size is not possible and will throw an exception. Resizing to a smaller size does not resize the referenced storage -- instead, the begin/end iterators in this class simply point to a smaller part of the referenced storage.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class Val, class Attr, class Cont> simth::SignalSequenceAccess< Val, Attr, Cont >::SignalSequenceAccess (  iterator  iterStart, iterator  iterEnd, storage_type &  seq )  [inline]

This constructor is used to create a shallow copy (or reference copy) of an already existing SignalSequence. This means that the newly created sequence does not allocate new memory for elements, but instead it works on a part of an already existing sequence. Hence the attributes of an object generated with this constructor are also an shallow copy of the original class. In other words, this constructor is always cheap.

template<class Val, class Attr, class Cont> simth::SignalSequenceAccess< Val, Attr, Cont >::SignalSequenceAccess (  const SignalSequence< Val, Attr, Cont > &  seq  )  [inline]

Constructor which directly creates a new shallow-copy-sequence of the given SequenceStorage. This is a cheap constructor, too.
