Detailed Description

A qualified UTF-8 string value that requires translation.

Messages are compared by collation order.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Message() [1/2]

Elemental::Message::Message ( const char *  source,
Qualifier  qualifier = Q_NEUTRAL 
)
throw (
)

Constructs a new defined message.

Parameters
sourceThe untranslated message.
qualifierThe qualification of the message.

◆ Message() [2/2]

Elemental::Message::Message ( Qualifier  qualifier = Q_UNK)
throw (
)

Constructs a new undefined or empty message.

Parameters
qualifierThe qualification of the message.

Member Function Documentation

◆ compare()

virtual int Elemental::Message::compare ( const value_base other) const
throw (
)
virtual

Compares two qualified values.

Derived classes may override this function, first calling compare_base, and use a dynamic_cast to check other.

Parameters
otherThe qualified value for comparison.
Returns
-1 if this value is undefined or is less than other; 0 if the values are equal; or 1 if other is undefined or this value is greater than other.

Reimplemented from Elemental::value_base.

◆ do_get_string()

virtual ustring Elemental::Message::do_get_string ( const ustring &  format) const
throw (
)
protectedvirtual

Returns a localized text representation of a defined value.

Derived classes must implement this function to produce a text representation based on the format. It will be called by get_string(), which will then decorate its output as appropriate for the current qualifier. If has_value() is false, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
formatA compose-style format string. Derived classes may define the number of argument references expected in the string; the default is one. If format is empty, a minimal default should be used.
Returns
A UTF-8 string containing the localized representation.

Implements Elemental::value_base.

◆ get_string()

virtual ustring Elemental::Message::get_string ( const ustring &  format = ustring()) const
throw (
)
virtual

Returns a localized text representation of the value.

Parameters
formatAn optional compose-style format string with which to output the value. If not otherwise specified, the value is argument reference %%1.
Returns
A UTF-8 string containing the localized representation.

Reimplemented from Elemental::value_base.
