Member Function Documentation

int dimeSection::countRecords

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the number of records in this section.

Implemented in dimeBlocksSection, dimeClassesSection, dimeEntitiesSection, dimeHeaderSection, dimeObjectsSection, dimeTablesSection, and dimeUnknownSection.

dimeSection * dimeSection::createSection	(	const char *const	sectionname,
		dimeMemHandler *	memhandler
	)			[static]

Static function used to create the correct section object from a text string.

bool dimeSection::isOfType

(

const int

thetypeid

)

const [virtual]

Returns true if the object is of type typeid or is inherited from it. Function in base class checks whether thetypeid equals the virtual dimeBase::typeId() value or equals dimeBaseType. Must be implemented by all subclasses that are superclasses of other classes, and should check if thetypeid equals its typeId, and then call its parent's isOfType function. Leaf-classes do not have to implement this method.

Reimplemented from dimeBase.

int dimeSection::typeId

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Must be implemented by all subclasses, and should return an unique id for that class.

Implements dimeBase.

Implemented in dimeBlocksSection, dimeClassesSection, dimeEntitiesSection, dimeHeaderSection, dimeObjectsSection, dimeTablesSection, and dimeUnknownSection.
