Moving frams/virtfile to common/virtfile:

  • file references updated (includes, makefile)
  • common/virtfile can no longer use the Framsticks specific SString (using std::string instead)
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native

13/** This is the general "framsticks-format" file parser for loading multiple objects.
14        http://www.framsticks.com/common/formatspec.html
15        The loader can be configured to recognize multiple object types from object headers
16    and automatically call ParamInterface::load for the matching class.
17   
18    Your code should repeatedly call MultiParamLoader::go() method and check the status after each call, until the end of file.
19    The loader pauses before and/or after each object giving you a chance to perform your application-specific actions (see MultiParamLoader::breakOn()).
20    If your application does not require any special actions, then the simple MultiParamLoader:run() can be used.
21    The word "record" (and "record type") used in this description refer to the textual form of a serialized object - this is to avoid confusion with 'live' objects passed to the loader methods. "Record type" can be the same as the class name, but it does not have to be the same. For example, the most common record type for storing the Genotype object is called "org" (think: organism) instead of "Genotype".
22
23    Typical usage scenarios:
24    1. Loading a file that contains at most one object of any given class:
25    - declare the object class(es) - MultiParamLoader::addClass()
26    - call MultiParamLoader::run()
27    - and that's all, the records from the file will be loaded into the corresponding objects
28
29    2. Loading multiple objects and adding them to a list (see loadtest.cpp for a sample code that demonstrates this scenario)
30    - declare the object class giving the empty "template" object - MultiParamLoader::addClass()
31    - set breakOn(AfterObject)
32    - call MultiParamLoader::go() in a loop
33    - the returned status will be equal to AfterObject each time an object is loaded. One can detect this condition and create the real object from our template object
34    (alternatively, one could breakOn(BeforeObject) and use MultiParamLoader::loadObjectNow(ParamInterface*) to load the incoming object into a newly created object).
