Detailed Description

template<class IntegralType>
class Teuchos::StringToIntegralParameterEntryValidator< IntegralType >

Standard implementation of a ParameterEntryValidator that maps from a list of strings to an enum or integer value.

Template Parameters

IntegralType The enum or integer type of the result.

This class is useful for developers who are defining parameters in a ParameterList. Suppose that you want to define a parameter in a ParameterList with an enum value. Enum values do not come with a standard string representation. This makes it hard to read a ParameterList. Users would rather see the enum names, not integers. If you instead set a parameter with this validator, users can provide string names for the enum values, and the validator will automatically convert them to their enum values.

All constructors and nonmember "constructors" have the option make validation case insensitive. Validation is case sensitive by default. Case sensitivity applies only to the string values of the parameter, not the parameter's name. We implement case insensitivity by converting all strings to uppercase using the prevailing locale.

Teuchos uses StringToIntegralValidatorXMLConverter to convert this validator to and from an XML representation. Please see the documentation of that class to learn about the XML representation of this validator.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class IntegralType >

Teuchos::StringToIntegralParameterEntryValidator< IntegralType >::StringToIntegralParameterEntryValidator	(	const ArrayView< const std::string > &	strings,
		const std::string &	defaultParameterName,
		const bool	caseSensitive = `true`
	)

Construct with a mapping from strings to the enum or integer values $0, 1, \dots, n-1$ .

All input arrays (one array, in this case) are copied.

Parameters

strings	[in] Array of unique names for the enum or integer values. These are the strings which users will see and use when setting parameters. `strings[i]` will be associated with the enum or integer value `i`.
defaultParameterName	[in] The default name of the parameter (used in error messages).
caseSensitive	[in] Whether validation will be case sensitive. The default is true (case sensitive) Case will be determined based on the prevailing locale.

		const ArrayView< const IntegralType > &	integralValues,
		std::string const &	defaultParameterName,
		const bool	caseSensitive = `true`
	)

Construct with a mapping from strings to specified enum or integer values.

All input arrays are copied.

Parameters

strings	[in] Array of unique names for the enum or integer values. These are the strings which users will see and use when setting parameters. `strings[i]` will be associated with the enum or integer value `integralValues[i]`.
integralValues	[in] Array of the enum or integer values associated with `strings[]`.
defaultParameterName	[in] The default name of the parameter (used in error messages).
caseSensitive	[in] Whether validation will be case sensitive. The default is true (case sensitive). Case will be determined based on the prevailing locale.

Precondition: strings.size() == integralValues.size()

	)

Construct with a mapping from strings (with documentation) to specified enum or integer values, and include documentation.

All input arrays are copied.

Parameters

strings	[in] Array of unique names for the enum or integer values. These are the strings which users will see and use when setting parameters. `strings[i]` will be associated with the enum or integer value `integralValues[i]`.
stringsDocs	[in] Array of documentation strings for each string value above. `stringsDocs[i]` is the documentation for `strings[i]`.
integralValues	[in] Array of the enum or integer values associated with `strings[]`.
defaultParameterName	[in] The default name of the parameter (used in error messages).
caseSensitive	[in] Whether validation will be case sensitive. The default is true (case sensitive). Case will be determined based on the prevailing locale.

Precondition: strings.size() == stringDocs.size(); strings.size() == integralValues.size()

		const std::string &	paramName = `""`,
		const std::string &	sublistName = `""`
	)		const

For a string value, find its corresponding enum or integer value.

Parameters

str	[in] String value to look up.
paramName	[in] Optional parameter name; used to generate error messages.

If the std::string name str is invalid, this method will throw std::exception with a descriptive error message.

		const std::string &	paramName = `""`,
		const std::string &	sublistName = `""`,
		const bool	activeQuery = `true`
	)		const

Find the enum or integer value for the given ParameterEntry.

Parameters

entry	[in] Entry in the ParameterList. This results from calling the ParameterList's getEntry() method, using the parameter's name.
paramName	[in] Optional parameter name; used to generate error messages.
sublistName	[in] The name of the sublist.
activeQuery	[in] If true, then this lookup will be recorded as an active query, which will set the parameter's `isUsed` flag to `true`.
