Private Attributes | |
int& | argc_ |
The size of the argument vector. | |
int | total_size_ |
The size of argv_. | |
ACE_TCHAR** | temp_ |
The temporary array over which we traverse. | |
ACE_TCHAR** | argv_ |
The array in which the arguments are reordered. | |
int | current_index_ |
The element in <temp_> we're currently examining. | |
int | back_ |
The index of in which we'll stick the next unknown argument. | |
int | front_ |
The index of in which we'll stick the next known argument. |
The copies the pointers of the argv vector into a temporary array. As the iterates over the temp, is places known arguments in the rear of the argv and unknown ones in the beginning. So, after having visited all the arguments in the temp vector, has placed all the unknown arguments in their original order at the front of argv.
|
Initialize the to the vector over which to iterate, also providing the temporary array if the client doesn't want the arg_shifter to dynamically allocate its own. If internal dynamic allocation fails, the will set all the indices to the end of the vector, forbidding iteration. Following iteration over argv, the argc value will contain the number of unconsumed arguments. |
|
Destructor.
|
|
Consume <number> argument(s) by sticking them/it on the end of the vector.
|
|
Check if the current argument matches (case insensitive) <flag> ------------------------------------------------------------ Case A: Perfect Match (case insensitive) 0 is returned. ie: when current_arg = "-foobar" or "-FOOBAR" or "-fooBAR" this->cur_arg_strncasecmp ("-FooBar); will return 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ Case B: Perfect Match (case insensitive) but the current_arg is longer than the flag. Returns a number equal to the index in the char* indicating the start of the extra characters ie: when current_arg = "-foobar98023" this->cur_arg_strncasecmp ("-FooBar); will return 7 Notice: this number will always be > 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ Case C: If neither of Case A or B is met (no match) then -1 is returned |
|
Get the current head of the vector.

|
If the <flag> matches the current_arg of arg shifter this method will attempt to return the associated parameter value Safe to call without checking that a current arg exists In the following examples, a pointer to the char* "value" is ret eg: main -foobar value, main -FooBar value main -FOOBARvalue all of the above will all match the <flag> == -FooBar and will return a char* to "value" main -foobar 4 would succeed and return a char* to "4" main -foobar -4 does not succeed (-4 is not a parameter) but instead, would return 0 0 is returned: If the current argument does not match flag If there is no parameter found after a 'matched' flag If the flag is matched and the flag and paramter DO NOT RUN together, the flag is consumed, the parameter is returned, and the new current argument is the parameter value. ie '-foobarflag VALUE' leaves the new cur arg == "VALUE" If the flag is matched and the flag and parameter RUN together '-foobarflagVALUE', the flag is NOT consumed and the cur arg is left pointing to the entire flag/value pair |
