Member Function Documentation

◆ keyToString() [1/2]

virtual const std::string* IStringPool::keyToString ( sgkey_t key ) const

pure virtual

Find the string corresponding to a given key.

Parameters

key	The key to look up.

Returns: Pointer to the string found, or null. We can find keys as long as the corresponding string was given to either stringToKey() or registerKey().

Implemented in SGTest::TestStore, StoreGateSvc, SGImplSvc, ActiveStoreSvc, xAOD::TEvent, SimpleView, and SG::View.

◆ keyToString() [2/2]

virtual const std::string* IStringPool::keyToString	(	sgkey_t	key,
		CLID &	clid
	)		const

pure virtual

Find the string and CLID corresponding to a given key.

Parameters

key	The key to look up.
clid[out]	The found CLID.

Returns: Pointer to the string found, or null. We can find keys as long as the corresponding string was given to either stringToKey() or registerKey().

Implemented in StoreGateSvc, SGImplSvc, ActiveStoreSvc, SGTest::TestStore, xAOD::TEvent, SimpleView, and SG::View.

◆ registerKey()

virtual void IStringPool::registerKey	(	sgkey_t	key,
		const std::string &	str,
		CLID	clid
	)

pure virtual

Remember an additional mapping from key to string/CLID.

Parameters

key	The key to enter.
str	The string to enter.
clid	The CLID associated with the string.

Returns: True if successful; false if the key already corresponds to a different string.

This registers an additional mapping from a key to a string; it can be found later through lookup() on the string. Logs an error if key already corresponds to a different string.

Implemented in SGTest::TestStore, StoreGateSvc, SGImplSvc, ActiveStoreSvc, xAOD::TEvent, SimpleView, and SG::View.
