Detailed Description

Virtual Parameter Tree. This represents a tree of parameters read from some source but does not necessarily correspond to the parameters in the simulation itself or even to the simulation tree. This is meant to provide a hierarchical view into simulation parameters before they are actually applied to a real TreeNode tree.

Eventually, this structure will automatically share data with sparta::ParameterSet instances as they are created. For now, it is limited.

Typical use is to subclass this object for each simulator component/model which has a set of parameters it must consume. sparta::ParameterSet provides a generic interface through which config-file parsers or command-line parsers can populate the parameters from strings. Models that expose the ParameterSet full of sparta::Parameter instances should dynamic_cast a sparta::ParameterSet supplied to them at runtime back to a known type and operate through Parameters directly instead of through this generic interface.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void sparta::ParameterTree::clear ( )

inline

Clear all content from this tree.

Definition at line 836 of file ParameterTree.hpp.

◆ create()

Node * sparta::ParameterTree::create	(	const std::string &	path,
		bool	required = `false`
	)

inline

Add a node to the tree, with proper priority.

Parameters

path	Path to create. TEMPORARY: Must not contain parent references (i.e. extra dots)
Are	the nodes added by this call required to exist?

Returns: TEMPORARY: Returns a Node if one is created or found, nullptr if not. May return nullptr if parameter path contains parent reference (any '.' character whicih is proceded by another '.' or the beginnign of the string). This will be fixed eventually. Nothing else should cause this to return nullptr

Setting is fundamentally different than getting in a virtual parameter tree. It cannot fail and (when setting with patterns [paths containing wildcards]), new nodes are almost always created.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ exists()

bool sparta::ParameterTree::exists	(	const std::string &	path,
		const bool	must_be_leaf = `true`
	)		const

inline

Try to check if a node exists.

Parameters

path	Path of the node to check
must_be_leaf	Check only if leaf node

Returns: Bool

Definition at line 930 of file ParameterTree.hpp.

◆ get()

const Node & sparta::ParameterTree::get ( const std::string & path ) const

inline

Gets a node from the parameter tree while respecting parameter application order. In other words, getting through this method returns the latest value set for the parameter at the location described by path.

Parameters

path	Path of node to retrieve

Exceptions

SpartaException if node with given path does not exist (see exists)

Returns: Node at the given location. This node is temporary and becomes stale on any modification to this ParameterTree. Reading this node later may result in an incorrect value

Warning: The returned node should be considered stale when this ParameterTree is modified

◆ getUnreadValueNodes() [1/2]

uint32_t sparta::ParameterTree::getUnreadValueNodes ( std::vector< const Node * > * nodes ) const

inline

Counts the number of values attached to the parameter tree which have values but have not been read. This is a smart system which looks at historical parameter values as well as the latest to be sure that all have been touched.

Parameters
