Detailed Description

template<class Field>
class LinBox::ElementEnvelope< Field >

Adaptor from archetypical interface to abstract interface, a technicality.

A class meeting the interface specified in ElementArchetype is adapted to be a child class of ElementAbstract. A concrete instance of ElementArchetype representing the adapted class can then be constructed.

All this is in support of the FieldArchetype system.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ElementEnvelope ( ) [inline]

Default Constructor.

ElementEnvelope ( const typename Field::Element &  elem) [inline]

Constructor from the Field element to be wrapped.

Parameters:
elemField element object to be wrapped.
ElementEnvelope ( const ElementAbstract E) [inline]

Copy constructor. Constructs ElementEnvelope object by copying the element it wraps. This is required to allow element objects to be passed by value into functions. In this implementation, this means copying the element { E.}.

Parameters:
EFieldEnvelope object.
~ElementEnvelope ( ) [inline]

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

ElementAbstract* clone ( void  ) const [inline, virtual]

Virtual copy constructor. Required because constructors cannot be virtual. Passes construction on to derived classes.

Returns:
pointer to new element object in dynamic memory.

Implements ElementAbstract.

ElementAbstract& operator= ( const ElementAbstract E) [inline, virtual]

Assignment operator.

Returns:
reference to self
Parameters:
xparameterized field base element

Implements ElementAbstract.
