Strings returned by the API are owned by the API unless * explicitly stated otherwise. Strings passed to the API are accessed by the * API only during the given API call unless explicitly stated otherwise. If * necessary, the API will make a copy of the supplied string. * * Error reporting is perfomed using C++ exceptions. All exceptions thrown by * this API are derived from settings::Error. This doesn't cover exceptions * that may be thrown by third-party library calls made by this API. * * All public classes represented by this API that support copy operations * (i.e. may be created or assigned from other instsances of the same class), * such as Key and Value classes, implement shallow copies and use this mode by * default. It means two things: * * 1. Instances of these classes can be freely copied around and used as return * values. All copies will share the same internal data block (using the * reference counting technique) so that the copy operation is cheap, both * in terms of memory and speed. * * 2. Since copied instances share the same data, an attempt to change data in * the original will be reflected in all existing copies. * * Making deep copies or detaching the existing shallow copy from its original * is not yet supported. * * Note that the Settings File API is not thread-safe. It means that if you * want to use the same instance of a class from the settings namespace on more * than one thread at a time, you will have to provide necessary access * serialization yourself. * * Due to some (not propely studied) libxml2 limitations, the Settings File * API is not thread-safe. Therefore, the API caller must provide * serialization for threads using this API simultaneously. Note though that * if the libxml2 library is (even imlicitly) used on some other thread which * doesn't use this API (e.g. third-party code), it may lead to resource * conflicts (followed by crashes, memory corruption etc.). A proper solution * for these conflicts is to be found. * * In order to load a settings file the program creates a TreeBackend instance * using one of the specific backends (e.g. XmlTreeBackend) and then passes an * Input stream object (e.g. File or MemoryBuf) to the TreeBackend::read() * method to parse the stream and build the settings tree. On success, the * program uses the TreeBackend::rootKey() method to access the root key of * the settings tree. The root key provides access to the whole tree of * settings through the methods of the Key class which allow to read, change * and create new key values. Below is an example that uses the XML backend to * load the settings tree, then modifies it and then saves the modifications. * * @code using namespace settings; try { File file (File::ReadWrite, "myfile.xml"); XmlTreeBackend tree; // load the tree, parse it and validate using the XML schema tree.read (aFile, "myfile.xsd", XmlTreeBackend::Read_AddDefaults); // get the root key Key root = tree.key(); printf ("root=%s\n", root.name()); // enumerate all child keys of the root key named Foo Key::list children = root.keys ("Foo"); for (Key::list::const_iterator it = children.begin(); it != children.end(); ++ it) { // get the "level" attribute int level = (*it).value ("level"); if (level > 5) { // if so, create a "Bar" key if it doesn't exist yet Key bar = (*it).createKey ("Bar"); // set the "date" attribute RTTIMESPEC now; RTTimeNow (&now); bar.setValue ("date", now); } else if (level < 2) { // if its below 2, delete the whole "Foo" key (*it).zap(); } } // save the tree on success (the second try is to distinguish between // stream load and save errors) try { aTree.write (aFile); } catch (const EIPRTFailure &err) { // this is an expected exception that may happen in case of stream // read or write errors printf ("Could not save the settings file '%s' (%Rrc)"); file.uri(), err.rc()); return FAILURE; } return SUCCESS; } catch (const EIPRTFailure &err) { // this is an expected exception that may happen in case of stream // read or write errors printf ("Could not load the settings file '%s' (%Rrc)"); file.uri(), err.rc()); } catch (const XmlTreeBackend::Error &err) { // this is an XmlTreeBackend specific exception that may // happen in case of XML parse or validation errors printf ("Could not load the settings file '%s'.\n%s"), file.uri(), err.what() ? err.what() : "Unknown error"); } catch (const std::exception &err) { // the rest is unexpected (e.g. should not happen unless you // specifically wish so for some reason and therefore allow for a // situation that may throw one of these from within the try block // above) AssertMsgFailed ("Unexpected exception '%s' (%s)\n", typeid (err).name(), err.what()); } catch (...) { // this is even more unexpected, and no any useful info here AssertMsgFailed ("Unexpected exception\n"); } return FAILURE; * @endcode * * Note that you can get a raw (string) value of the attribute using the * Key::stringValue() method but often it's simpler and better to use the * templated Key::value<>() method that can convert the string to a value of * the given type for you (and throw exceptions when the converison is not * possible). Similarly, the Key::setStringValue() method is used to set a raw * string value and there is a templated Key::setValue<>() method to set a * typed value which will implicitly convert it to a string. * * Currently, types supported by Key::value<>() and Key::setValue<>() include * all C and IPRT integer types, bool and RTTIMESPEC (represented as isoDate * in XML). You can always add support for your own types by creating * additional specializations of the FromString<>() and ToString<>() templates * in the settings namespace (see the real examples in this header). * * See individual funciton, class and method descriptions to get more details * on the Settings File Manipulation API. */ /* * Shut up MSVC complaining that auto_ptr[_ref] template instantiations (as a * result of private data member declarations of some classes below) need to * be exported too to in order to be accessible by clients. * * The alternative is to instantiate a template before the data member * declaration with the VBOXXML_CLASS prefix, but the standard disables * explicit instantiations in a foreign namespace. In other words, a declaration * like: * * template class VBOXXML_CLASS std::auto_ptr ; * * right before the member declaration makes MSVC happy too, but this is not a * valid C++ construct (and G++ spits it out).
