47///Base class for genetic operations on genotypes of some genetic format
48/**\author Maciej Komosinski
49
50When designing genetic operations on some representation, inherit your class
51(for example Geno_fMy) from Geno_fx. Define some methods,
52like mutate(), in your class, to allow for evolution.
53Ensure they have the same names and arguments as the corresponding
54virtual methods in Geno_fx. Set the 'supported_format' variable to the
55appropriate genetic representation ID.
56Whenever arguments are genotypes, they are without
57trailing characters which describe genetic format
58(for example, "p:", not "//0\np:").
59When allocating/reallocating char* parameters, use malloc, free, realloc, strdup, etc.
60Do not use new and delete.
61
62All the methods you might define are:
63- checkValidity()
64- validate()
65- mutate()
66- crossOver()
67- getSimplest()
68- style()
69
70Your code must not cause errors (like invalid memory access, memory
71leaks) on any arguments, even 'random' ones. GENOPER_OPFAIL should
72be returned when an operator cannot cope with its argument genotype.
73
74To compile your code, you may also need some GDK files.
75A simple example is Geno_ftest class (see \ref geno_ftest_example "C++ code" for details).
76A more realistic example is Geno_f4 derived from Geno_fx: refer to
77the available source on developmental encoding and f4 genotype format.*/
