Detailed Description

Base class for the interface class hierarchy.

The Interface class hierarchy provides the part of a Model that is responsible for mapping a set of Variables into a set of Responses. The mapping is performed using either a simulation-based application interface or a surrogate-based approximation interface. For memory efficiency and enhanced polymorphism, the interface hierarchy employs the "letter/envelope idiom" (see Coplien "Advanced C++", p. 133), for which the base class (Interface) serves as the envelope and one of the derived classes (selected in Interface::get_interface()) serves as the letter.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Interface ( )

default constructor

used in Model envelope class instantiations

Interface ( ProblemDescDB problem_db)

standard constructor for envelope

Used in Model instantiation to build the envelope. This constructor only needs to extract enough data to properly execute get_interface, since Interface::Interface(BaseConstructor, problem_db) builds the actual base class data inherited by the derived interfaces.

References Dakota::abort_handler(), Interface::get_interface(), and Interface::interfaceRep.

Interface ( const Interface interface)

copy constructor

Copy constructor manages sharing of interfaceRep and incrementing of referenceCount.

References Interface::interfaceRep, and Interface::referenceCount.

~Interface ( ) [virtual]

destructor

Destructor decrements referenceCount and only deletes interfaceRep if referenceCount is zero.

References Interface::interfaceRep, and Interface::referenceCount.

Interface ( BaseConstructor  ,
const ProblemDescDB problem_db 
) [protected]

constructor initializes the base class part of letter classes (BaseConstructor overloading avoids infinite recursion in the derived class constructors - Coplien, p. 139)

This constructor is the one which must build the base class data for all inherited interfaces. get_interface() instantiates a derived class letter and the derived constructor selects this base class constructor in its initialization list (to avoid the recursion of the base class constructor calling get_interface() again). Since this is the letter and the letter IS the representation, interfaceRep is set to NULL (an uninitialized pointer causes problems in ~Interface).

Member Function Documentation

Interface operator= ( const Interface interface)

assignment operator

Assignment operator decrements referenceCount for old interfaceRep, assigns new interfaceRep, and increments referenceCount for new interfaceRep.

References Interface::interfaceRep, and Interface::referenceCount.

void assign_rep ( Interface interface_rep,
bool  ref_count_incr = true 
)

replaces existing letter with a new one

Similar to the assignment operator, the assign_rep() function decrements referenceCount for the old interfaceRep and assigns the new interfaceRep. It is different in that it is used for publishing derived class letters to existing envelopes, as opposed to sharing representations among multiple envelopes (in particular, assign_rep is passed a letter object and operator= is passed an envelope object). Letter assignment supports two models as governed by ref_count_incr:

  • ref_count_incr = true (default): the incoming letter belongs to another envelope. In this case, increment the reference count in the normal manner so that deallocation of the letter is handled properly.
  • ref_count_incr = false: the incoming letter is instantiated on the fly and has no envelope. This case is modeled after get_interface(): a letter is dynamically allocated using new and passed into assign_rep, the letter's reference count is not incremented, and the letter is not remotely deleted (its memory management is passed over to the envelope).

Member Data Documentation

IntResponseMap rawResponseMap [protected]

Set of responses returned after either a blocking or nonblocking schedule of asynchronous evaluations.

The map is a full/partial set of completions which are identified through their evalIdCntr key. The raw set is postprocessed (i.e., finite diff grads merged) in Model::synchronize() where it becomes responseMap.

Referenced by ApplicationInterface::asynchronous_local_evaluations(), ApplicationInterface::asynchronous_local_evaluations_nowait(), ApplicationInterface::asynchronous_local_evaluations_static(), ApplicationInterface::self_schedule_evaluations(), ApplicationInterface::static_schedule_evaluations(), ApplicationInterface::synch(), ApproximationInterface::synch(), ApplicationInterface::synch_nowait(), ApproximationInterface::synch_nowait(), and ApplicationInterface::synchronous_local_evaluations().
