Member Function Documentation

const char* gemfire::CacheableString::asChar ( ) const
inline

Return the string that backs this CacheableString as a char *.

This shall throw an exception if the underlying string is a wchar_t* – the caller should use typeId to determine the actual type, or isWideString to find whether this is a wide-character string.

Exceptions
IllegalStateExceptionif the underlying string is a wchar_t *
const wchar_t* gemfire::CacheableString::asWChar ( ) const
inline

Return the string that backs this CacheableString as a wchar_t *.

This shall throw an exception if the underlying string is a char* – the caller should use typeId to determine the actual type, or isWideString to find whether this is indeed a wide-character string.

Exceptions
IllegalStateExceptionif the underlying string is a char *
virtual int32_t gemfire::CacheableString::classId ( ) const

Return the classId of the instance being serialized.

This is used by deserialization to determine what instance type to create and deserialize into.

inlinestaticinherited

Factory method that creates the key type that matches the type of value.

For customer defined derivations of CacheableKey, the method gemfire::createKey may be overloaded. For pointer types (e.g. char*) the method gemfire::createKeyArr may be overloaded.

int32_t  len = 0 
)
inlinestatic

Factory method for creating an instance of CacheableString from a null terminated C string optionally giving the length.

This should be used only for ASCII strings.

virtual int8_t gemfire::Serializable::DSFID ( ) const
virtualinherited

return the Data Serialization Fixed ID type.

This is used to determine what instance type to create and deserialize into.

Note that this should not be overridden by custom implementations and is reserved only for builtin types.

Reimplemented in gemfire::Struct, and gemfire::CacheableUndefined.

virtual Serializable* gemfire::CacheableString::fromData ( DataInput input)
virtual

deserialize this object Throw IllegalArgumentException if the packed CacheableString is not less than 64K bytes.

Implements gemfire::Serializable.

Reimplemented in gemfire::CacheableFileName.

char* gemfire::CacheableString::getASCIIString ( const wchar_t *  value,
int32_t &  len,
int32_t &  encodedLen 
)
protected

Private method to get ASCII string for wide-string if possible.

virtual uint32_t gemfire::CacheableString::hashcode ( ) const
virtual

return the hashcode for this key.

Implements gemfire::CacheableKey.

Reimplemented in gemfire::CacheableFileName.

void gemfire::CacheableString::initString ( const char *  value,
int32_t  len 
)
protected

initialize the string, given a value and length.

void gemfire::CacheableString::initString ( const wchar_t *  value,
int32_t  len 
)
protected

void gemfire::CacheableString::initStringNoCopy ( char *  value,
int32_t  len 
)

void gemfire::CacheableString::initStringNoCopy ( wchar_t *  value,
int32_t  len 
)
protected

Initialize the string without making a copy, given a wide-char string and length.

bool gemfire::CacheableString::isCString ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the underlying string is a normal C string.

bool gemfire::CacheableString::isWideString ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the underlying string is a wide-character string.

uint32_t gemfire::CacheableString::length ( ) const
inline

Return the length of the contained string.

virtual int32_t gemfire::CacheableString::logString ( char *  buffer,
int32_t  maxLength 
) const
virtual

used to render as a string for logging.

Reimplemented from gemfire::CacheableKey.

virtual uint32_t gemfire::CacheableString::objectSize ( ) const
virtual

return the size in bytes of the instance being serialized.

This is used to determine whether the cache is using up more physical memory than it has been configured to use. The method can return zero if the user does not require the ability to control cache memory utilization. Note that you must implement this only if you use the HeapLRU feature.

Reimplemented from gemfire::Serializable.

virtual bool gemfire::CacheableString::operator== ( const CacheableKey other) const
virtual

return true if this key matches other.

Implements gemfire::CacheableKey.

void gemfire::SharedBase::preserveSB ( ) const
inherited

Atomically increment reference count.

int32_t gemfire::SharedBase::refCount ( )
inlineinherited
Returns
the reference count
static void gemfire::Serializable::registerPdxSerializer ( PdxSerializerPtr  pdxSerializer)
staticinherited

Register the PDX serializer which can handle serialization for instances of user domain classes.

See also
PdxSerializer
static void gemfire::Serializable::registerPdxType ( TypeFactoryMethodPdx  creationFunction)
staticinherited

register an Pdx instance factory method for a given type.

Exceptions
IllegalStateExceptionif the typeName has already been registered, or there is an error in registering the type; check errno for more information in the latter case.
static void gemfire::Serializable::registerType ( TypeFactoryMethod  creationFunction)
staticinherited

register an instance factory method for a given type.

During registration the factory will be invoked to extract the typeId to associate with this function.

Exceptions
IllegalStateExceptionif the typeId has already been registered, or there is an error in registering the type; check errno for more information in the latter case.
void gemfire::SharedBase::releaseSB ( ) const
inherited

Atomically decrement reference count, the SharedBase object is automatically deleted when its reference count goes to zero.

virtual void gemfire::CacheableString::toData ( DataOutput output) const
virtual

serialize this object

Implements gemfire::Serializable.

Reimplemented in gemfire::CacheableFileName.

const char* gemfire::CacheableString::toString ( )
inline

Display this object as c string.

In this case, it returns the same value as asChar() when underlying type is a char* and returns the same value as asWChar() cast to char* when the underlying type is a wchar_t*. To handle this correctly the user should find the actual type by calling typeId() or isWideString() and cast to the correct type accordingly. Note: this is a debugging API, not intended for getting the exact value of the CacheableString. In a future release this may return a more summary representation. This is historical. It is preferred that the user call logString or asChar/asWChar, depending on the need.

virtual CacheableStringPtr gemfire::CacheableString::toString ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Display this object as 'string', which depends on the implementation in the subclasses.

The default implementation renders the classname.

The return value may be a temporary, so the caller has to ensure that the SharedPtr count does not go down to zero by storing the result in a variable or otherwise.

Reimplemented from gemfire::Serializable.

virtual int8_t gemfire::CacheableString::typeId ( ) const
virtual

Return the typeId byte of the instance being serialized.

This is used by deserialization to determine what instance type to create and deserialize into.

For a CacheableString this shall return GemfireTypeIds::CacheableNullString if the underlying string is null, GemfireTypeIds::CacheableASCIIString if the underlying string is a char*, and GemfireTypeIds::CacheableString if it is a wchar_t*. For strings larger than 64K it will return GemfireTypeIds::CacheableASCIIStringHuge and GemfireTypeIds::CacheableStringHuge for char* and wchar_t* respectively.

Reimplemented from gemfire::Serializable.

Reimplemented in gemfire::CacheableFileName.
