Detailed Description

This represents the factory for producing new abstract data objects. This also gives basic information that allows ACE to query and figure out all available data types the program that uses the ACE library provides. If a program wishes to be backwards compatible any previously defined data types must maintain the same unique integer that identifies them.

Member Function Documentation

fileExtension()

virtual QString EAbstractDataFactory::fileExtension ( quint16  type ) const

pure virtual

This interface returns the file extension for the given data type as a string.

Parameters

type	The data type whose file extension is returned.

Returns

File extension for the given data type.

instance()

EAbstractDataFactory & EAbstractDataFactory::instance ( )

static

Returns a reference to the global instance of the class that implements this factory. If no instance has ever been set than an exception is thrown.

Returns

Reference to the global instance of this object's implementation.

make()

virtual std::unique_ptr<EAbstractData> EAbstractDataFactory::make ( quint16  type ) const

pure virtual

This interface makes and returns a new abstract data object of the given type.

Parameters

type	The data type of the abstract data object that is made and returned.

Returns

Pointer to the new abstract data object of the given type.

name()

virtual QString EAbstractDataFactory::name ( quint16  type ) const

pure virtual

This interface returns the display name for the given data type.

Parameters

type	The data type whose display name is returned.

Returns

Display name for the given data type.

setInstance()

void EAbstractDataFactory::setInstance ( std::unique_ptr< EAbstractDataFactory > &&  instance )

static

Sets the global instance for this object's implementation. If a global instance already exists then it is deleted and replaced with the new one given.

Parameters

instance

Pointer to the new global instance for this factory.

size()

virtual quint16 EAbstractDataFactory::size ( ) const

pure virtual

This interface returns the total number of data types a program that uses ACE implements. All integers from 0 to one less than the size returned must be defined as a unique data type.

Returns

Total number of data types this program implements.
