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() [1/4]

Interface ( )

default constructor

used in Model envelope class instantiations

◆ Interface() [2/4]

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(), and Interface::interfaceRep.

◆ Interface() [3/4]

Interface ( const Interface interface_in)

copy constructor

Copy constructor manages sharing of interfaceRep

◆ Interface() [4/4]

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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign_rep() [1/2]

void assign_rep ( std::shared_ptr< Interface interface_rep)

assign letter or replace existing letter with a new one

The assign_rep() function 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).

Use case assumes the incoming letter is instantiated on the fly and has no envelope. This case is modeled after get_interface(): a letter is dynamically allocated and passed into assign_rep (its memory management is passed over to the envelope).

If the letter happens to be managed by another envelope, it will persist as long as the last envelope referencing it.

References Interface::interface_rep(), and Interface::interfaceRep.

Referenced by DataFitSurrModel::DataFitSurrModel(), parallel_interface_plugin(), LibraryEnvironment::plugin_interface(), and run_dakota().

◆ assign_rep() [2/2]

void assign_rep ( Interface interface_rep,
bool  ref_count_incr = false 
)

assign letter or replace existing letter with a new one DEPRECATED, but left for library mode clients to migrate: transfers memory ownership to the contained shared_ptr; ref_count_incr is ignored

DEPRECATED but temporarily left for library mode clients needing to MIGRATE TO shared_ptr API

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 historically supported two models as governed by ref_count_incr:

  • ref_count_incr = true (removed): 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 (always): 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).

References Interface::interface_rep(), and Interface::interfaceRep.

◆ eval_tag_prefix()

void eval_tag_prefix ( const String &  eval_id_str,
bool  append_iface_id = true 
)

set the evaluation tag prefix (does not recurse)

default implementation just sets the list of eval ID tags; derived classes containing additional models or interfaces should override (currently no use cases)

References Interface::appendIfaceId, Interface::evalTagPrefix, and Interface::interfaceRep.

◆ get_interface()

std::shared_ptr< Interface > get_interface ( ProblemDescDB problem_db)
private

Used by the envelope to instantiate the correct letter class.

used only by the envelope constructor to initialize interfaceRep to the appropriate derived type.

References ProblemDescDB::get_string(), ProblemDescDB::get_ushort(), and Interface::interface_type().

◆ user_auto_id()

String user_auto_id ( )
staticprivate

return the next available interface ID for no-ID user methods

Rationale: The parser allows multiple user-specified interfaces with empty (unspecified) ID. However, only a single Interface with empty ID can be constructed (if it's the only one present, or the "last one parsed"). Therefore decided to prefer NO_ID over NO_ID_<num> for consistency with interface NO_ID convention. Additionally, NO_ID is preferred over NO_INTERFACE_ID (contrast with Iterator and Model) to preserve backward compatibility

Referenced by Interface::Interface().

◆ no_spec_id()

String no_spec_id ( )
staticprivate

return the next available interface ID for on-the-fly methods

Rationale: For now NOSPEC_ID_ is chosen due to historical id="NO_SPECIFICATION" used for internally-constructed Iterators. Longer-term, consider auto-generating an ID that includes the context from which the method is constructed, e.g., the parent method or model's ID, together with its name.
