Public Types

typedef std::auto_ptr< StringValueBaseAutoPtr
 Shortcut for a StringValueBase auto pointer.

Public Member Functions

Creators
 StringValueBase (TypeId typeId)
 Constructor for subclasses.
 StringValueBase (TypeId typeId, const std::string &buf)
 Constructor for subclasses.
 StringValueBase (const StringValueBase &rhs)
 Copy constructor.
virtual ~StringValueBase ()
 Virtual destructor.
Manipulators
virtual int read (const std::string &buf)
 Read the value from buf. This default implementation uses buf as it is.
virtual int read (const byte *buf, long len, ByteOrder byteOrder=invalidByteOrder)
 Read the value from a character buffer.
Accessors
AutoPtr clone () const
 Return an auto-pointer to a copy of itself (deep copy). The caller owns this copy and the auto-pointer ensures that it will be deleted.
virtual long copy (byte *buf, ByteOrder byteOrder=invalidByteOrder) const
 Write value to a character data buffer.
virtual long count () const
 Return the number of components of the value.
virtual long size () const
 Return the size of the value in bytes.
virtual long toLong (long n=0) const
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a long. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.
virtual float toFloat (long n=0) const
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a float. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.
virtual Rational toRational (long n=0) const
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a Rational. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.
virtual std::ostream & write (std::ostream &os) const
 Write the value to an output stream. You do not usually have to use this function; it is used for the implementation of the output operator for Value, operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Value &value).

Public Attributes

std::string value_
 Stores the string value.

Protected Member Functions

StringValueBaseoperator= (const StringValueBase &rhs)
 Assignment operator.
virtual StringValueBaseclone_ () const =0
 Internal virtual copy constructor.

Detailed Description

Abstract base class for a string based Value type.

Uses a std::string to store the value and implements defaults for most operations.


Member Function Documentation

virtual long Exiv2::StringValueBase::copy byte buf,
ByteOrder  byteOrder = invalidByteOrder
const [virtual]
 

Write value to a character data buffer.

The user must ensure that the buffer has enough memory. Otherwise the call results in undefined behaviour.

Note:
The byte order is required by the interface but not used by this method, so just use the default.
Parameters:
buf Data buffer to write to.
byteOrder Byte order. Not used.
Returns:
Number of characters written.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

virtual int Exiv2::StringValueBase::read const byte buf,
long  len,
ByteOrder  byteOrder = invalidByteOrder
[virtual]
 

Read the value from a character buffer.

Note:
The byte order is required by the interface but not used by this method, so just use the default.
Parameters:
buf Pointer to the data buffer to read from
len Number of bytes in the data buffer
byteOrder Byte order. Not needed.
Returns:
0 if successful.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

virtual float Exiv2::StringValueBase::toFloat long  n = 0  )  const [virtual]
 

Convert the n-th component of the value to a float. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.

Returns:
The converted value.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

virtual long Exiv2::StringValueBase::toLong long  n = 0  )  const [virtual]
 

Convert the n-th component of the value to a long. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.

Returns:
The converted value.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

virtual Rational Exiv2::StringValueBase::toRational long  n = 0  )  const [virtual]
 

Convert the n-th component of the value to a Rational. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.

Returns:
The converted value.

Implements Exiv2::Value.
