Etymology

AipsIO is simply the conventional shorthand for "AIPS++ input/output". Note that Casacore is the successor of the old AIPS++ project.

Synopsis

AipsIO is a class designed to do I/O for objects. It reads/writes the data using a class derived from TypeIO. For instance, class CanonicalIO can be used to read/write the data in canonical format.

The TypeIO class in its turn uses a class derived from ByteIO to determine where the data has to be written.

An object is written by writing all its data members. It will be preceeded by a header containing type and version. The I/O can be done via de overloaded << and >> operators to write or read a single item (e.g., an int or an object). These operators are already defined for all built-in data types and for Complex, DComplex, String, and Bool. Since each enumeration is a specific type, it is hard to handle them. Casting to Bool (which is also an enumerated type) is a possibility, but that assumes that each enumerated type has the same size (which is probably true for all compilers). Another possibility is to store it in an int when writing. Reading can be done the opposite way, although the ARM says that an int cannot be assigned to an enumerated type.

There are also functions put, get and getnew to write or read an array of values. These functions are defined for the same data types as << and >> (so one can write, for example, an array of Strings). AipsIO.put (nr, arr) writes nr values from the given array. AipsIO.get (nr, arr) reads nr values into the given user-supplied array. AipsIO.getnew (&nr, &arr) reads the number of values written into a new array allocated on the heap. It returns the nr of values read and a pointer to the array. The data must be read back in the same order as it was written.

The functions putstart(type,version) and putend() must be called before resp. after writing all values of the object. It stores the given type and version of the object. Similarly getstart(type) and getend() must be called. getstart checks the type and returns the version. By using the version the read function of the object can convert older versions of the object (which may still reside on disk) to the latest version. The function getNextType is available to get the type of the next object stored. This can be used to check the type or to open (i.e. issue a getstart) in the correct way.

When implementing a class, one should also define the operators << and >> for the class to allow users to write or read an object in this simple way (e.g., as io >> obj; to read an object). One has to define the friend functions:

friend AipsIO& operator<< (AipsIO&, const YourClass&);
friend AipsIO& operator>> (AipsIO&, YourClass&);
AipsIO()
No file attached yet.
AipsIO & operator>>(Bool &value)
Get a single value.
AipsIO & operator<<(const Bool &value)
Put a single value.

since they cannot be stored in the class itself. The type of an object is usually passed as the class name.

AipsIO& operator<< (AipsIO& ios, const YourClass& object) {
ios.putstart ("YourClass", version);
ios <<....;
ios.putend ();
}
uInt putstart(const String &objectType, uInt objectVersion)
Start putting an object.

The functions getpos() and setpos(offset) can be used to get and set the offset in the file to a given point. They can be used to point to a position in the file where an object must be written or read. Obviously these functions are to be used by a storage manager and are not for public use. Someday they should be made private with a friend defined.

Example

MyClass myObject(...); // some object
AipsIO ios("file.name", ByteIO::New); // create new file
ios << myObject; // write object
MyClass myObject2;
ios >> myObject2; // read it back
@ New
read/write; create file if not exist.
Definition: ByteIO.h:72

This example creates an object, writes it to AipsIO and reads it back into another object. The shift functions for MyClass could be defined as follows:

AipsIO& operator<< (AipsIO& ios, const MyClass& myObject)
{
ios.putstart ("MyClass", 1); // MyClass version 1
ios <<...; // write all data members
ios.putend();
}
AipsIO& operator>> (AipsIO& ios, const MyClass& myObject)
{
// If needed, delete current data members first.
// Now read in the object.
uInt version = ios.getstart ("MyClass");
ios >>...; // read all data members
ios.getend();
}
unsigned int uInt
Definition: aipstype.h:51

In this example the version is not used. In more complex objects it will probably be used when data members get added or changed in future versions of a software system.

explicit

Construct and open/create a file with the given name.

The actual IO is done via a CanonicalIO object on a regular file using buffered IO with a buffer of the given size.
If the MultiFileBase pointer is not null, a virtual file in the MultiFileBase will be used instead of a regular file.

◆ AipsIO() [3/4]

casacore::AipsIO::AipsIO ( ByteIO )
explicit

Construct from a stream object derived from ByteIO.

This can for instance by used to use AipsIO on a file descriptor for which a FilebufIO object has been created. The actual IO is done via a CanonicalIO object on top of it.

◆ AipsIO() [4/4]

casacore::AipsIO::AipsIO ( TypeIO )
explicit

Construct from a stream object derived from TypeIO, thus from a stream on top of ByteIOn doing the possible conversions.

It resizes the vector as needed.

Definition at line 359 of file AipsIO.h.

◆ getend()

uInt casacore::AipsIO::getend ( )

It returns the object length (including possible nested objects). It checks if the entire object has been read (to keep the data stream in sync). If not, an exception is thrown.

◆ getnew() [1/14]

AipsIO& casacore::AipsIO::getnew ( uInt nrval,
Bool *&  values 
)

Read in values as written by the function put.

It will read the number of values (into nrval), allocate a values buffer of that length and read the values into that buffer. A pointer to the buffer is returned into values. <warn=caution> Although the buffer is allocated by this function, the user has to delete it (using delete [] values;).

It will check if the given type matches the one stored by putstart. It returns the object version which can be used to read in older version of the object correctly.
After all values (inclusing nested objects) of the object have been read, a call to getend has to be done.

◆ open() [1/3]

void casacore::AipsIO::open ( ByteIO )

Open by connecting to the given byte stream.

This can for instance by used to use AipsIO on a file descriptor for which a FilebufIO object has been created. The actual IO is done via a CanonicalIO object on top of it. An exception is thrown if the object contains an already open file.

◆ open() [2/3]

void casacore::AipsIO::open ( const String fileName,
ByteIO::OpenOption  = ByteIO::Old,
uInt  filebufSize = 65536,

An exception is thrown if the object contains an already open file.

◆ putend()

uInt casacore::AipsIO::putend ( )

End putting an object.

It returns the object length (including possible nested objects).

◆ putstart() [1/2]

uInt casacore::AipsIO::putstart ( const Char objectType,
uInt  objectVersion 
)

◆ putstart() [2/2]

uInt casacore::AipsIO::putstart ( const String objectType,
uInt  objectVersion 
)

Start putting an object.

This writes the object type and version. When reading back getstart calls have to be done in the same way. Getstart checks the type and returns the version. The user can use that to correctly read back objects with different versions.
Data in the outermost object cannot be put before a putstart is done. Data in nested objects can be put without an intermediate putstart. However, for complex objects it is recommended to do a putstart to have a better checking.
After all values (inclusing nested objects) of the object have been put, a call to putend has to be done.

◆ setpos()

Int64 casacore::AipsIO::setpos ( Int64  offset)

◆ testget()

void casacore::AipsIO::testget ( )

Test if get is possible (throw exception if not).

◆ testput()

void casacore::AipsIO::testput ( )
inlineprivate

Test if put is possible (throw exception if not).

testput tests if a put can be done; ie.

if putstart has been done. It throws an exception if not. testget is similar to test if a get can be done.
