Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Weight() [1/2]

Xapian::Weight::Weight ( )

inline

Default constructor, needed by subclass constructors.

Definition at line 152 of file weight.h.

◆ ~Weight()

Xapian::Weight::~Weight ( )

virtual

Virtual destructor, because we have virtual methods.

Definition at line 132 of file weight.cc.

◆ Weight() [2/2]

Xapian::Weight::Weight ( const Weight & )

protected

Don't allow copying.

This would ideally be private, but that causes a compilation error with GCC 4.1 (which appears to be a bug).

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual Weight* Xapian::Weight::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Clone this object.

This method allocates and returns a copy of the object it is called on.

If your subclass is called FooWeight and has parameters a and b, then you would implement FooWeight::clone() like so:

FooWeight * FooWeight::clone() const { return new FooWeight(a, b); }

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

◆ init()

virtual void Xapian::Weight::init ( double factor )

protectedpure virtual

Allow the subclass to perform any initialisation it needs to.

Parameters

factor Any scaling factor (e.g. from OP_SCALE_WEIGHT). If the Weight object is for the term-independent weight supplied by get_sumextra()/get_maxextra(), then init(0.0) is called (starting from Xapian 1.2.11 and 1.3.1 - earlier versions failed to call init() for such Weight objects).

Implemented in MyWeight, Xapian::CoordWeight, Xapian::LMWeight, Xapian::DPHWeight, Xapian::PL2PlusWeight, Xapian::PL2Weight, Xapian::DLHWeight, Xapian::BB2Weight, Xapian::IneB2Weight, Xapian::IfB2Weight, Xapian::InL2Weight, CheckStatsWeight, Xapian::TradWeight, CheckInitWeight, Xapian::BM25PlusWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, Xapian::TfIdfWeight, Xapian::BoolWeight, ExceptionalWeight, ZWeight, and LazyWeight.

	)

private

Initialise this object to calculate weights for term term.

Old version of method, as used by 1.4.18 and earlier. This should only be referenced from inside the library and 1.4.19 and later will call the new version instead. We continue to provide it mainly to avoid triggering ABI checking tools.

term	The term for the new object.
wqf_	The within-query-frequency of term.
factor	Any scaling factor (e.g. from OP_SCALE_WEIGHT).

Definition at line 357 of file weight.h.

References name.

◆ name()

string Xapian::Weight::name ( ) const

virtual

Return the name of this weighting scheme.

This name is used by the remote backend. It is passed along with the serialised parameters to the remote server so that it knows which class to create.

Return the full namespace-qualified name of your class here - if your class is called FooWeight, return "FooWeight" from this method (Xapian::BM25Weight returns "Xapian::BM25Weight" here).

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply returns an empty string.

Reimplemented in MyWeight, Xapian::CoordWeight, Xapian::LMWeight, Xapian::DPHWeight, Xapian::PL2PlusWeight, Xapian::PL2Weight, Xapian::DLHWeight, Xapian::BB2Weight, Xapian::IneB2Weight, Xapian::IfB2Weight, Xapian::InL2Weight, Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25PlusWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, Xapian::TfIdfWeight, Xapian::BoolWeight, ExceptionalWeight, and LazyWeight.

◆ need_stat()

void Xapian::Weight::need_stat ( stat_flags flag )

inlineprotected

Tell Xapian that your subclass will want a particular statistic.

Some of the statistics can be costly to fetch or calculate, so Xapian needs to know which are actually going to be used. You should call need_stat() from your constructor for each such statistic.

Parameters

flag	The stat_flags value for a required statistic.

◆ operator=()

void Xapian::Weight::operator= ( const Weight & )

private

Don't allow assignment.

◆ serialise()

string Xapian::Weight::serialise ( ) const

virtual

Return this object's parameters serialised as a single string.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Reimplemented in MyWeight, Xapian::CoordWeight, Xapian::LMWeight, Xapian::DPHWeight, Xapian::PL2PlusWeight, Xapian::PL2Weight, Xapian::DLHWeight, Xapian::BB2Weight, Xapian::IneB2Weight, Xapian::IfB2Weight, Xapian::InL2Weight, Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25PlusWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, Xapian::TfIdfWeight, Xapian::BoolWeight, and LazyWeight.

Referenced by RemoteDatabase::set_query(), and test_weight_class().

◆ unserialise()

Weight * Xapian::Weight::unserialise ( const std::string & serialised ) const

virtual

Unserialise parameters.

This method unserialises parameters serialised by the serialise() method and allocates and returns a new object initialised with them.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Parameters

serialised A string containing the serialised parameters.
