Detailed Description

Abstract interface for an object that can modify both a parameter list and the parameter list being used during the validation stage.

A parameter (sub)list modifier can be used to process optional fields and dependent fields before validation. It can also be used after validation to reconcile parameters that may have dependencies on other parameters.

Member Function Documentation

ParameterListModifier & Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::setName ( const std::string &  name)
inline

Set the name of *this modifier.

Definition at line 224 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.hpp.

const std::string& Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::getName ( ) const
inline

Get the name of *this modifier.

Definition at line 62 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.hpp.

void Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::printDoc ( std::string const &  docString,
std::ostream &  out 
) const

Print documentation for this parameter list modifier.

Parameters
docString[in] (Multi-line) documentation std::string.
out[out] The std::ostream used for the output

The purpose of this function is to augment what is in docString with some description of what happens during the modification and reconciliation stages of this modifier.

Definition at line 26 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.cpp.

Array< std::string > Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::findMatchingBaseNames ( const ParameterList paramList,
const std::string &  baseName,
const bool &  findParameters = true,
const bool &  findSublists = true 
) const

Find the parameters and/or sublists with matching base names.

Parameters
paramList[in] Modified parameter list to search.
findParameters[out] Search through parameters
findSublists[out] Search through sublists (not recursive)

This convenience function makes it easy to search through the current level of a given parameter list and find all parameters and/or sublists that begin with a given name.

Definition at line 33 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.cpp.

virtual void Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::modify ( ParameterList paramList,
ParameterList validParamList 
) const
inlinevirtual

Modify a parameter list and/or the valid parameter list being used to validate it and throw std::exception (with a great error message) if modification fails.

Parameters
paramList[in] The parameter list that needs to be validated
validParamList[in] The parameter list being used as a template for validation.

This function is usually called before the validation step begins in order to create optional parameters and/or sublists.

Definition at line 112 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.hpp.

virtual void Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::reconcile ( ParameterList paramList) const
inlinevirtual

Reconcile a parameter list and/or the valid parameter list being used to validate it and throw std::exception (with a great error message) if reconciliation fails.

Parameters
paramList[in,out] The parameter list that needs to be validated
validParamList[in,out] The parameter list being used as a template for validation.

This function is usually called after the validation step begins in order to check that dependencies between multiple parameters are satisfied.

Definition at line 126 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.hpp.

int Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::expandParameters ( const std::string &  paramTemplateName,
ParameterList paramList,
ParameterList validParamList,
const Array< std::string > &  excludeParameters = Array<std::string>() 
) const

Create parameters in the valid parameter list using a template parameter from the valid parameter list and the names of parameters in the list being validated.

Parameters
parameterTemplateName[in] The name of the parameter template in valid_pl
paramList[in] The parameter list that needs to be validated
validParamList[in,out] The parameter list that is being used as a template for validation
excludeParameters[in] An optional list of parameter names to exclude

Definition at line 57 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.cpp.

int Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::expandSublists ( const std::string &  sublistTemplateName,
ParameterList paramList,
ParameterList validParamList,
const Array< std::string > &  excludeSublists = Array<std::string>() 
) const

Create sublists in the valid parameter list using a template parameter from the valid parameter list and the names of sublists in the list being validated.

Parameters
sublistTemplateName[in] The name of the sublist template in valid_pl
paramList[in] The parameter list that needs to be validated
validParamList[in,out] The parameter list that is being used as a template for validation
excludeSublists[in] An optional list of sublist names to exclude

Definition at line 82 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.cpp.

int Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::setDefaultsInSublists ( const std::string &  paramName,
ParameterList paramList,
const Array< std::string > &  sublistNames,
const bool  removeParam = true 
) const

Copy a parameter into desired sublists.

Parameters
paramName[in] The name of the parameter to be copied.
paramList[in,out] The parameter list with paramName.
sublistNames[in] The names of any sublists in paramList to set the defaults in using parameter paramName.
removeParam[in] Remove paramName from paramList after defaults are set in sublists.

Definition at line 133 of file Teuchos_ParameterListModifier.cpp.

int Teuchos::ParameterListModifier::expandSublistsUsingBaseName ( const std::string &  baseName,
ParameterList paramList,
ParameterList validParamList,
const bool &  allowBaseName = true 
) const

Create sublists in the valid parameter list using a base name and the corresponding sublists in the parameter list being validated.

Parameters
baseName[in] The root name of the sublists to look for and create
paramList[in] The parameter list that needs to be validated
validParamList[in,out] The parameter list that is being used as a template for validation
allowBaseName[in] Allow the parameter list pl to contain a parameter with the same name as base_name.
