Detailed Description

This is the hash or associative list container type in Qore, dynamically allocated only, reference counted.

it is both a value type and can hold parse expressions as well (in which case it needs to be evaluated) This type also maintains the insertion order as well as offering a hash-based lookup of string keys. The insertion order of keys is maintained in order to support consistent serialization and deserialization to and from XML, JSON, YAML, etc

Member Function Documentation

◆ compareHard()

DLLEXPORT bool QoreHashNode::compareHard ( const QoreHashNode h,
ExceptionSink xsink 
) const

does a deep "hard" compare of all hash elements (no type conversions are performed) and returns true if the hashes are equal

Note
that if the hashes have a different number of keys then the comparison fails immediately
Returns
true if the hashes have the same number and values of keys and all elements are equal and of the same type (no type conversions are performed)

◆ compareSoft()

DLLEXPORT bool QoreHashNode::compareSoft ( const QoreHashNode h,
ExceptionSink xsink 
) const

does a deep "soft" compare of all hash elements (types may be converted for the comparison) and returns true if the hashes are equal

Note
that if the hashes have a different number or names of keys then the comparison fails immediately

true if the hashes have the same number and names of keys and all elements are equal (types may be converted for the comparison)

the delete operation means a simple dereference for all types except QoreObject, on this type the destructor will be run immediately

Parameters
keythe key of the value to delete
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

◆ deleteKey() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT void QoreHashNode::deleteKey ( const QoreString key,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)

performs a delete operation on the value of the given key

The delete operation means a simple dereference for all types except QoreObject, on this type the destructor will be run immediately. A Qore-language exception could occur eitherin converting the key string's encoding to QCS_DEFAULT, or in the destructor of a deleted object.

Parameters
keythe key of the value to delete
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

◆ derefImpl()

virtual DLLEXPORT bool QoreHashNode::derefImpl ( ExceptionSink xsink)

Parameters
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here
Returns
true if the object can be deleted, false if not (externally-managed)

Reimplemented from AbstractQoreNode.

ExceptionSink xsink 
)

removes the given key from the hash and derefences its value, if any

A Qore-language exception could occur either in converting the key string's encoding to QCS_DEFAULT, or when dereferencing the contained value

Parameters
keythe key of the value to delete
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

◆ setKeyValue() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT int QoreHashNode::setKeyValue ( const char *  key,
QoreValue  value,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)

sets the value of "key" to "value"

A Qore-language exception could be thrown if the hash is derived from a hashdecl and the key is unknown, or if the given key has a current value and it's a QoreObject that goes out of scope when dereferenced (the object's destructor could throw an exception); if an exception is thrown due to encoding conversion issues (and therefore the assignment is not made) then the value to be assigned is dereferenced automatically

Parameters
keythe key to set the value for
valuethe value to assign to the key, must be already referenced for the assignment
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here
Returns
0 for OK, -1 if a Qore-language exception was thrown
Note
the assignment is made even if an exception occurs when dereferencing the old value
Since
Qore 0.8.13

◆ setKeyValue() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT int QoreHashNode::setKeyValue ( const QoreString key,
QoreValue  value,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)

sets the value of "key" to "value"

A Qore-language exception could be thrown if the hash is derived from a hashdecl and the key is unknown, or converting the key string's encoding to QCS_DEFAULT, or if the given key has a current value and it's a QoreObject that goes out of scope when dereferenced (the object's destructor could throw an exception); if an exception is thrown due to encoding conversion issues (and therefore the assignment is not made) then the value to be assigned is dereferenced automatically

Parameters
keythe key to set the value for
valuethe value to assign to the key, must be already referenced for the assignment
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here
Returns
0 for OK, -1 if a Qore-language exception was thrown
Note
the assignment is made even if an exception occurs when dereferencing the old value
Since
Qore 0.8.13

◆ size()

DLLEXPORT size_t QoreHashNode::size ( ) const

returns the number of members in the hash, executes in constant time

Returns
the number of members in the hash
