MDOEnv(const bool empty = false)

Construct an environment.

Parameters

const bool empty=false – Whether to construct an empty environment

MDOEnv(const char *logfilename)

Construct an environment with associated log file name.

Parameters

const char* logfilename – The log file name associated to environment. Can be NULL or empty string, in which case no log file will be created.

MDOEnv(const std::string &logfilename)

Construct an environment with associated log file name.

Parameters

const std::string& logfilename – The log file name associated to environment. Can be empty string, in which case no log file will be created.

int get(MDO_IntParam param)

Retrieve the value of an int parameter.

Parameters

MDO_IntParam param – The parameter name.

Returns

The current value of parameter.

double get(MDO_DoubleParam param)

Retrieve the value of a double parameter.

Parameters

MDO_DoubleParam param – The parameter name.

Returns

The current value of parameter.

std::string get(MDO_StringParam param)

Retrieve the value of a string parameter.

Parameters

The current value of parameter.

const std::string getErrorMsg()

Retrieve the message of the most recent occurred error.

Returns

The message of the most recent occurred error.

void getParamInfo(MDO_DoubleParam param, double *valP, double *minP, double *maxP, double *defP)

Retrieve the information about a double parameter by its name.

Parameters

• MDO_DoubleParam param – The parameter name

• double* valP – The place to hold the current value of parameter.

• double* minP – The place to hold the minimum allowed value of parameter.

• double* maxP – The place to hold the maximum allowed value of parameter.

• double* defP – The place to hold the default value of parameter.

void getParamInfo(MDO_IntParam param, int *valP, int *minP, int *maxP, int *defP)

Retrieve the information about an int parameter by its name.

Parameters

• MDO_IntParam param – The parameter name

• int* valP – The place to hold the current value of parameter.

• int* minP – The place to hold the minimum allowed value of parameter.

• int* maxP – The place to hold the maximum allowed value of parameter.

• int* defP – The place to hold the default value of parameter.

void getParamInfo(MDO_StringParam param, std::string &value, std::string &defvalue)

Retrieve the information about a string parameter by its name.

Parameters

• MDO_StringParam param – The parameter name

• std::string& value – The place to hold the current value of parameter.

• std::string& defvalue – The place to hold the default value of parameter.

void message(const std::string &msg)

Append a message to environment log.

Parameters

const std::string& msg – The message to be appended.

void readParams(const std::string &paramfile)

Read parameter settings from a file.

Parameters

const std::string& paramfile – The file name. Note that file format and compression type should be encoded as a suffix in file name. Valid file format is .prm, supported compression types include .gz and .bz2.

void resetParams()

Reset all parameters to their default values.

void set(MDO_IntParam param, int newvalue)

Set a new value for an int parameter.

Parameters

• MDO_IntParam param – The parameter name.

• int newvalue – The new value to be set.

void set(MDO_DoubleParam param, double newvalue)

Set a new value for a double parameter.

Parameters

• MDO_DoubleParam param – The parameter name.

• double newvalue – The new value to be set.

void set(MDO_StringParam param, const std::string &newvalue)

Set a new value for a string parameter.

Parameters

• MDO_StringParam param – The parameter name.

• const std::string& newvalue – The new value to be set.

void set(const std::string &paramname, const std::string &newvalue)

Set a new value for a parameter.

Parameters

• const std::string& paramname – The parameter name.

• const std::string& newvalue – The string representation of new value to be set, its actual value depends on the type of parameter specified by name.

void start()

Start this environment if this environment is “empty”, else do nothing.

void writeParams(const std::string &paramfile)

Write parameter settings to file.

Parameters

const std::string& paramfile – The file name. Note that file format and compression type should be encoded as a suffix in file name. Valid file format is .prm, supported compression types include .gz and .bz2.
