DiffLanguage< I, E > Struct Template Reference

#include "lib/diff/diff-language.hpp"

Description

template<class I, typename E>
struct lib::diff::DiffLanguage< I, E >

Definition frame for a language to describe differences in data structures.

We use a linearised representation as a sequence of DiffStep messages of constant size. The actual verbs of the diff language in use are defined through the operations of the Interpreter; each #VerbToken corresponds to a handler function on the Interpreter interface. In addition to the verb, each DiffStep also carries a content data element as argument, like e.g. "insert elm at next position".

Parameters

I	Interpreter interface of the actual language to use
E	type of the elementary data elements.

Remarks

recommendation is to set up a builder function for each distinct kind of verb to be used in the actual language: this #diffTokenBuilder takes the data element as argument and wraps a copy in the created DiffStep of the specific kind it is configured for.

static

fixed "invalid" marker token

Warning

use for internal state marking only – invoking this token produces undefined behaviour
