QueryText Class Reference

#include "lib/query-text.hpp"

Description

Syntactical query representation.

Used as a backbone to allow for generic queries and to enable programmatically rebuilding and remolding of queries.

Todo:
this is placeholder code and just embeds a string with the raw query definition, instead of parsing the definition and transforming it into an AST

◆ degree_of_constriction()

uint degree_of_constriction ( ) const
inline

synthetic total order to classify query definitions.

Queries with more specific conditions should yield larger values.

Warning
this is rather a design idea and it's not clear if this metric can be made to work in practice
Todo:
using a rather deaf placeholder implementation based just on counting the top level predicates.

◆ normalise()

string normalise ( string const &  rawDefinition)
private

Parse, verify and normalise the raw query definition.

Warning
right now (2012) we don't normalise at all
Todo:
when integrating a real resolution engine, we need to parse and verify the given string.

◆ hash_value

HashVal hash_value ( QueryText const &  entry)
friend

support using queries in hashtables.

Warning
right now (2012) the dummy implementation of QueryText doesn't normalise the query in any way, which makes the generated hash value dependent on the actual textual form used to build the QueryText. This is not how it's intended to work, it should rely on a normalised form after parsing the query definition.
