◆ ChertCursor() [2/2]

ChertCursor::ChertCursor ( const ChertTable * B )

explicit

Create a cursor attached to a Btree.

Creates a cursor, which can be used to remember a position inside the B-tree. The position is simply the item (key and tag) to which the cursor points. A cursor is either positioned or unpositioned, and is initially unpositioned.

NB: You must not try to use a ChertCursor after the Btree it is attached to is destroyed. It's safe to destroy the ChertCursor after the Btree though, you just may not use the ChertCursor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ after_end()

bool ChertCursor::after_end ( ) const

inline

Determine whether cursor is off the end of table.

Returns: true if the cursor has been moved off the end of the table, past the last entry in it, and false otherwise.

◆ find_entry()

bool ChertCursor::find_entry ( const string & key )

Position the cursor on the highest entry with key <= key.

If the exact key is found in the table, the cursor will be set to point to it, and the method will return true.

If the key is not found, the cursor will be set to point to the key preceding that asked for, and the method will return false. If there is no key preceding that asked for, the cursor will point to a null key.

Note: Since the B-tree always contains a null key, which precedes everything, a call to ChertCursor::find_entry always results in a valid key being pointed to by the cursor.

Note: Calling this method with a null key, then calling next() will leave the cursor pointing to the first key.

Parameters

key	The key to look for in the table.

Returns: true if the exact key was found in the table, false otherwise.

◆ find_entry_ge()

bool ChertCursor::find_entry_ge ( const string & key )

Position the cursor on the lowest entry with key >= key.

Returns: true if the exact key was found in the table, false otherwise.

Definition at line 243 of file chert_cursor.cc.

◆ find_entry_lt()

void ChertCursor::find_entry_lt ( const string & key )

inline

Position the cursor on the highest entry with key < key.

Referenced by ChertMetadataTermList::ChertMetadataTermList(), and ChertSynonymTermList::ChertSynonymTermList().

◆ get_key()

void ChertCursor::get_key ( string * key ) const

private

Get the key.

The key of the item at the cursor is copied into key.

The cursor must be positioned before calling this method.

e.g.

ChertCursor BC(&btree); string key;

// Now do something to each key in the Btree BC.find_entry(string()); // must give result true

while (BC.next()) { BC.get_key(&key); do_something_to(key); }

◆ get_table()

const ChertTable* ChertCursor::get_table ( ) const

inline

Return a pointer to the ChertTable we're a cursor for.

Definition at line 241 of file chert_cursor.h.

◆ next()

bool ChertCursor::next ( )

Advance to the next key.

If cursor is unpositioned, the result is simply false.

If cursor is positioned, and points to the very last item in the Btree the cursor is made unpositioned, and the result is false. Otherwise the cursor is moved to the next item in the B-tree, and the result is true.

Effectively, ChertCursor::next() loses the position of BC when it drops off the end of the list of items. If this is awkward, one can always arrange for a key to be present which has a rightmost position in a set of keys,

◆ operator=()

ChertCursor& ChertCursor::operator= ( const ChertCursor & )

private

Assignment not allowed.

◆ prev()

bool ChertCursor::prev ( )

Move to the previous key.

This is like ChertCursor::next, but BC is taken to the previous rather than next item.

Definition at line 114 of file chert_cursor.cc.

References Assert, C, current_key, find_entry(), get_key(), is_after_end, is_positioned, LOGCALL, LOGLINE, RETURN, tag_status, UNREAD, and version.

◆ read_tag()

bool ChertCursor::read_tag ( bool keep_compressed = false )

Read the tag from the table and store it in current_tag.

Some cursor users don't need the tag, so for efficiency we only read it when asked to.

Parameters

keep_compressed Don't uncompress the tag - e.g. useful if it's just being opaquely copied (default: false).

Returns: true if current_tag holds compressed data (always false if keep_compressed was false).
