Hierarchical element access methods have been added to GXml and GXmlNode.Using a string in the format "params > param[1] > value > struct" one can in a single method call walk down the hierarchy of an XML document to access an element. The squared brackets allow specifying an element index in case that multiple elements with the same name exist. If squared brackets are omitted, an index of 0 is assumed. If the indicated element does not exist, the method returns a pointer to NULL.

…or the observation Python module. The classname() method returns in a human readable format the class name. This method is needed for full automatic typecasting in Python. Full automatic typecasting has for the moment been implemented for the observation module.
-
The coding and design conventions (CDC) document was also updated.
-
These are the final modifications for the GammaLib core code review.
-
Add GChatter argument to print() method. The print() method now takes an argument of type GChatter to control the chattiness of the output in a homogenous manner. Pass NORMAL chatter level in __str__ method. Add chatter argument to print() methods. Use GLog::chatter() method to control the chattiness of the log stream operator. Add chatter() methods and provide member access through const references. Add chatter() methods, provide member access through const references, and declare one liners as inline methods. The chatter() methods control the new m_chatter attribute that is used to control the chattiness of the object's print() methods. name() and version() methods return const references. logFileOpen() method now sets the chattiness from the applications's chatter parameter, and name() and version() methods now return a const reference.
-
The class now derives from the GContainer class. The full container interface has been implemented and the interface has been globally reviewed.
-
The use of the new GUrl class insread of the FILE type allows now for transparent input and output of an XML document in different URL types. So far only the file type URL exists (GUrlFile), but this can now easily be expanded to support piping into a string or direct http transfer. The latter is particularily useful for XML-RPC implementation.
-
The parse() method now either parses a file or a text string, depending on whether a valid file pointer or text string is provided. This option is now used in the GXml(const std::string& xml) constructor that will interpret the argument as either a text string or a file name. The interpretation is done on basis of the 5 first characters. If the string starts with "<?xml" the string is an XML document, otherwise it will be interpreted as a filename.
-
All classes now derive from GBase. ostream and GLog friends are removed since they are now implement at the GBase level.
