Detailed Description

A list of parameters of arbitrary type.

Summary

A ParameterList is a map from parameter name (a string) to its value. The value may have any type with value semantics (see explanation and examples below). This includes another ParameterList, which allows a ParameterList to encode a hierarchy of parameters. Different entries in the same ParameterList may have values of different types.

Users may add a parameter using one of the get() methods, and retrieve its value (given the parameter's name) using one of the set() methods. If the compiler gets confused when you use one of the templated methods, you might have to help it by specifying the type explicitly, or by casting the input object (using e.g., static_cast). There are also methods for iterating through all the parameters in a list, and for validating parameters using validators that you may define for each parameter.

Value semantics

A type has value semantics when it can be passed around as a value. This means that it has an assignment operator and a copy constructor, and that the latter creates "new objects" (rather than references that modify a single object). Types with value semantics include double, float, int, std::string, and similar types.

Paradoxically, pointers like double* also have value semantics. While the pointer is a reference to an object (e.g., an array of double), the pointer itself is a value (an address in memory). The same holds for Teuchos' reference-counted pointer and array classes (RCP resp. ArrayRCP). While it is valid to store pointers ("raw" or reference-counted) in a ParameterList, be aware that this hinders serialization. For example, a double* could encode a single double or an array of double. The pointer itself does not encode the length of the array. A ParameterList serializer has no way to know what the double* means. ParameterList does not forbid you from storing objects that cannot be correctly serialized, so you have to know whether or not this concerns you.

Definition at line 108 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::setParameters ( const ParameterList & source )

Set the parameters in source.

This function will set the parameters and sublists from source into *this, but will not remove parameters from *this. Parameters in *this with the same names as those in source will be overwritten.

Definition at line 129 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::setParametersNotAlreadySet ( const ParameterList & source )

Set the parameters in source that are not already set in *this.

Note, this function will set the parameters and sublists from source into *this but will not result in parameters being removed from *this or in parameters already set in *this being overrided. Parameters in *this with the same names as those in source will not be overwritten.

Definition at line 147 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::disableRecursiveValidation ( )

Disallow recusive validation when this sublist is used in a valid parameter list.

This function should be called when setting a sublist in a valid parameter list which is broken off to be passed to another object. The other object should validate its own list.

Definition at line 172 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::disableRecursiveModification ( )

Disallow recursive modification when this sublist is used in a modified parameter list.

This function should be called when setting a sublist in a modified parameter list which is broken off to be passed to another object. The other object should modify its own list. The parameter list can still be modified using a direct call to its modify method.

Definition at line 179 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::disableRecursiveReconciliation ( )

Disallow recursive reconciliation when this sublist is used in a reconciled parameter list.

This function should be called when setting a sublist in a reconciled parameter list which is broken off to be passed to another object. The other object should reconcile its own list. The parameter list can still be reconciled using a direct call to its reconcile method.

Definition at line 186 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::disableRecursiveAll ( )

Disallow all recursive modification, validation, and reconciliation when this sublist is used in a parameter list.

This function should be called when setting a sublist in a parameter list which is broken off to be passed to another object. The other object should handle its own list.

template<typename T >

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::set	(	std::string const &	name,
		T const &	value,
		std::string const &	docString = `""`,
		RCP< const ParameterEntryValidator > const &	validator = `null`
	)

inline

Set a parameter whose value has type T.

Parameters

name	[in] The parameter's name.
value	[in] The parameter's value. This determines the template parameter T. In most cases, you will not need to specify the type T explicitly; the compiler will infer it from this argument.
docString	[in] Documentation string for the parameter.
validator	[in] Validator for the parameter. If not specified, it defaults to `null`, the trivial validator (every value passes validation).

Note

Use static_cast<T>() when the type is ambiguous.
Both char* and std::string std::map to are stored as strings internally.
Sets the parameter as "unused".

		char	value[],
		std::string const &	docString = `""`,
		RCP< const ParameterEntryValidator > const &	validator = `null`
	)

inline

Specialization of set() for a parameter which is a char[].

This version of set() copies the given character array to an std::string and stores it that way in the ParameterList.

Definition at line 984 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.hpp.

ParameterList& Teuchos::ParameterList::set	(	std::string const &	name,
		const char	value[],

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::set	(	std::string const &	name,
		ParameterList const &	value,
		std::string const &	docString = `""`
	)

inline

Specialization of set() for a parameter which is itself a ParameterList.

We call the input ParameterList a sublist of *this.

Definition at line 1000 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.hpp.

ParameterList & Teuchos::ParameterList::setEntry	(	const std::string &	name,
		const ParameterEntry &	entry
	)

inline

Set a parameter directly as a ParameterEntry.

Note: This is required to preserve the isDefault value when reading back from XML. KL 7 August 2004

Definition at line 1010 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.hpp.

template<typename T >

void Teuchos::ParameterList::recursivelySetValidator	(	RCP< const ParameterEntryValidator > const &	validator,
		int const	depth = `1000`
	)

Recursively attach a validator to parameters of type T.

Parameters

depth [in] Determines the number of levels of depth that the validator attachment will recurse into.

template<typename T >

T & Teuchos::ParameterList::get	(	const std::string &	name,
		T	def_value
	)

Return the parameter's value, or the default value if it is not there.

If the parameter with the given name exists in this ParameterList and has type T, return the parameter's value. If the parameter exists but does not have type T, throw an exception. Otherwise, if the parameter does not exist, add it to the list with value def_value, and return def_value.

Note

Use the static_cast<T>() when the type is ambiguous.
Both char* and std::string are stored as strings internally.
Sets the parameter as "used".

Specialization of get(), where the nominal value is a character string. Both char* and std::string are stored as strings and return std::string values.

template<typename T >

T & Teuchos::ParameterList::get ( const std::string & name )

Get a nonconst reference to the parameter.

Parameters

name	[in] The name of the parameter.

If the given parameter is not in the list at all, this method throws Exceptions::InvalidParameter. If the parameter is in the list but does not have type T, this method throws Exceptions::InvalidParameterType. Both exceptions are subclasses of Exceptions::InvalidParameter.

You may use the returned reference to modify the parameter's value in the list directly.

When you call this method, you must specify the type T explicitly. For example:

Teuchos::ParameterList plist;
const int x = 42;
plist.set ("The Answer", x);
// ...
const int y = plist.get<int> ("The Answer");

If the type T is itself a template parameter in your code, you must use the template keyword. For example:

template<class T>
T& getMyParameter (Teuchos::ParameterList& plist) {
  return plist.template get<T> ("My Parameter");
}

void Teuchos::ParameterList::validateParameters	(	ParameterList const &	validParamList,
		int const	depth = `1000`,
		EValidateUsed const	validateUsed = `VALIDATE_USED_ENABLED`,
		EValidateDefaults const	validateDefaults = `VALIDATE_DEFAULTS_ENABLED`
	)		const

Validate the parameters in this list given valid selections in the input list.

Parameters

validParamList	[in] This is the list that the parameters and sublist in `*this` are compared against.
depth	[in] Determines the number of levels of depth that the validation will recurse into. A value of `depth=0` means that only the top level parameters and sublists will be checked. Default: `depth = large number`.
validateUsed	[in] Determines if parameters that have been used are checked against those in `validParamList`. Default: `validateDefaults = VALIDATE_DEFAULTS_ENABLED`.
validateDefaults	[in] Determines if parameters set at their default values using `get(name,defaultVal)` are checked against those in `validParamList`. Default: `validateDefaults = VALIDATE_DEFAULTS_ENABLED`.

If a parameter in *this is not found in validParamList then an std::exception of type Exceptions::InvalidParameterName will be thrown which will contain an excellent error message returned by excpt.what(). If the parameter exists but has the wrong type, then an std::exception type Exceptions::InvalidParameterType will be thrown. If the parameter exists and has the right type, but the value is not valid then an std::exception type Exceptions::InvalidParameterValue will be thrown.

Recursive validation stops when:

The maxinum depth is reached
A sublist note in validParamList has been marked with the disableRecursiveValidation() function, or
There are not more parameters or sublists left in *this

A breath-first search is performed to validate all of the parameters in one sublist before moving into nested subslist.

Definition at line 408 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

void Teuchos::ParameterList::validateParametersAndSetDefaults	(	ParameterList const &	validParamList,
		int const	depth = `1000`
	)

Validate the parameters in this list given valid selections in the input list and set defaults for those not set.

Parameters

validParamList	[in] This is the list that the parameters and sublist in `*this` are compared against.
depth	[in] Determines the number of levels of depth that the validation will recurse into. A value of `depth=0` means that only the top level parameters and sublists will be checked. Default: `depth = large number`.

If a parameter in *this is not found in validParamList then an std::exception of type Exceptions::InvalidParameterName will be thrown which will contain an excellent error message returned by excpt.what(). If the parameter exists but has the wrong type, then an std::exception type Exceptions::InvalidParameterType will be thrown. If the parameter exists and has the right type, but the value is not valid then an std::exception type Exceptions::InvalidParameterValue will be thrown. If a parameter in validParamList does not exist in *this, then it will be set at its default value as determined by validParamList.

Recursive validation stops when:

The maxinum depth is reached

void Teuchos::ParameterList::modifyParameterList	(	ParameterList &	validParamList,
		int const	depth = `1000`
	)

Modify the valid parameter list prior to validation.

Parameters

validModifiedParamList	[in,out] The parameter list used as a template for validation.
depth	[in] Determines the number of levels of depth that the modification will recurse into. A value of `depth=0` means that only the top level parameters and sublists will be checked. Default: `depth = large number`.

We loop over the valid parameter list in this modification routine. This routine adds and/or removes fields in the valid parameter list to match the structure of the parameter list about to be validated. After completion, both parameter lists should have the same fields or else an error will be thrown during validation.

Definition at line 509 of file Teuchos_ParameterList.cpp.

void Teuchos::ParameterList::reconcileParameterList	(	ParameterList &	validParamList,
		const bool	left_to_right = `true`
	)

Reconcile a parameter list after validation.

Parameters

validParamList	[in,out] The parameter list used as a template for validation.
left_to_right	[in] Sweep through the parameter list tree from left to right.

We loop through the valid parameter list in reverse breadth-first order in this reconciliation routine. This routine assumes that the reconciliation routine won't create new sublists as it traverses the parameter list.

Parameters

paramName	[in] The name of the parameter containing the std::string representation of the array.
array	[in] The array that will be set as a std::string parameter.
paramList	[in/out] The parameter list that the array will be set on.

Array< T > getArrayFromStringParameter	(	const ParameterList &	paramList,
		const std::string &	paramName,
		const int	arrayDim = `-1`,
		const bool	mustExist = `true`
	)

Parameters

paramList	[in] The parameter list to extract the parameter array from.
paramName	[in] The name of the parameter containing the std::string representation of the array.
arrayDim	[in] If `arrayDim >= 0`, then the read in array must be equal to this dimension, or an std::exception will be thrown. If `arrayDim < 0`, then an array of any dimension will be returned. The default is `-1` and therefore no array length validation will be performed.
mustExist	[in] If `mustExist==true`, then the parameter `paramName` must exist and must contain a valid array, or an std::exception is thrown. If `mustExist==false`, and if the parameter `paramName` does not exist or contains an empty array std::string value, then an empty array object will be returned.

Returns: an array object if an std::exception is not thrown. If mustExist==false and the parameter does not exist, then an empty array object will be returned. If mustExist==true and arrayDim < 0, then if the parameter paramName exists and its array value is valid, then the converted array, of any size, will be returned. If mustExist==true and arrayDim >= 0 then an array of dimension arrayDim will be returned if an std::exception is not thrown.

Exceptions:

Exceptions::InvalidParameterName will be thrown if mustExist==true and the parameter paramName does not exist in paramList
Exceptions::InvalidParameterType will be thrown if the parameter exists but does not have a value type of std::string.
Exceptions::InvalidParameterValue will be thrown in the following cases:
- If the parameter paramName exists but the array in std::string form is not formated correctly.
- If arrayDim >= 0 and the read in array dimension dies not equal arrayDim

Detailed Description:

This function allows Array<T> objects to be read in from a parameter with a std::string representation of the array. The templated function Teuchos::fromStringToArray() (see documentation for Teuchos::Array) is used to parse the std::string representation and return the array object (see this function's documentation for details on what the formatting of the array std::string must be and what can be handled and what can not be handled.
