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.

IllegalStateException if 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 *.

Reimplemented in gemfire::CacheableFileName.

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.

Implements gemfire::Serializable.

Returns:
the reference count

static void gemfire::Serializable::registerType ( TypeFactoryMethod  creationFunction  )  [static, inherited]

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:
IllegalStateException if 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.

virtual CacheableStringPtr gemfire::CacheableString::toString (  )  const [inline, virtual]

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.

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 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 derserialize 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*.

Reimplemented from gemfire::Serializable.
