Detailed Description

template<typename RandomAccessContainer>
class OpenMS::UniqueIdIndexer< RandomAccessContainer >

A base class for random access containers for classes derived from UniqueIdInterface that adds functionality to convert a unique id into an index into the container.

See FeatureMap<> and ConsensusMap for living examples. The RandomAccessContainer must support operator[], at(), and size().

Member Function Documentation

const RandomAccessContainer& getBase_ ( ) const [inline, protected]

A little helper to get access to the base (!) class RandomAccessContainer.

This is just a static_cast and probably not interesting elsewhere, so we make it a protected member.

Referenced by UniqueIdIndexer< ConsensusMap >::resolveUniqueIdConflicts(), UniqueIdIndexer< ConsensusMap >::uniqueIdToIndex(), and UniqueIdIndexer< ConsensusMap >::updateUniqueIdToIndex().

RandomAccessContainer& getBase_ ( ) [inline, protected]

A little helper to get access to the base (!) class RandomAccessContainer.

This is just a static_cast and probably not interesting elsewhere, so we make it a protected member.

Size resolveUniqueIdConflicts ( ) [inline]

Assign new UID's to doubly occurring UID's.

Assign new UID's to non-unique UID's. This usually occurs in merging of 'old' feature files, which have sequentially increasing UID's. Conflicting entries receive a new UID, such that all UID's are unique in the container.

Note:: Subordinate features are not checked and may remain non-unique. However, they are associated to their parent which makes identification 'unique'.

Returns:: The number of invalid (=replaced) elements

void swap ( UniqueIdIndexer< RandomAccessContainer > & rhs ) [inline]

Swap.

Note:: obviously we can swap only with indices for the same type.

Referenced by UniqueIdIndexer< ConsensusMap >::swap().

Size uniqueIdToIndex ( UInt64 unique_id ) const [inline]

Returns the index of the feature with the given unique id, or Size(-1) if none exists in this random access container.

The complexity is expected constant upon success, linear upon failure.

The lookup actually performs the following steps:

consult the internal hash map (i.e., uniqueid_to_index_)
if an index is found and that element indeed has this unique id, then return the index
if no index is found or the unique ids do not match, then update the hash map (using updateUniqueIdToIndex()) and lookup the index again
if an index is found this time, return it, otherwise return Size(-1)
