~validator()

advgetopt::validator::~validator ( )

virtual

This destructor is defined so virtual functions work as expected including the deleter.

validator::pointer_t advgetopt::validator::create ( std::string const &  name, string_list_t const &  data  )

create() [2/2]

validator::pointer_t advgetopt::validator::create ( std::string const &  name_and_params )

static

This function parses the specified name and optional parameters and create a corresponding validator for this option.

The name_and_params string can be defined as:

<validator-name>(<param1>, <param2>, ...)

The list of parameters is optional. There may be an empty, just one, or any number of parameters. How the parameters are parsed is left to the validator to decide.

If the input string is empty, the current validator, if one is installed, gets removed.

Parameters

[in]

name_and_params

The validator name and parameters.

References create(), and advgetopt::option_flags_merge().

name()

std::string const & advgetopt::validator::name ( ) const

pure virtual

The name() function is used to get the name of the validator. Validators are recognized by name and added to your options using their name.

Note that when an option specifies a validator which it can't find, then an error occurs.

Returns

The name of the validator.

Implemented in advgetopt::validator_double, advgetopt::validator_duration, advgetopt::validator_email, advgetopt::validator_integer, advgetopt::validator_keywords, advgetopt::validator_length, advgetopt::validator_list, advgetopt::validator_regex, and advgetopt::validator_size.

validate()

bool advgetopt::validator::validate ( std::string const &  value ) const

pure virtual

The function parses the value parameter and if it matches the allowed parameters, then it returns true.

Parameters

[in]

value

The value to validate.

Returns

true if the value validates.

Implemented in advgetopt::validator_double, advgetopt::validator_duration, advgetopt::validator_email, advgetopt::validator_integer, advgetopt::validator_keywords, advgetopt::validator_length, advgetopt::validator_list, advgetopt::validator_regex, and advgetopt::validator_size.
