Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class reflex::ORanges< T >

RE/flex ORanges (open-ended, ordinal value range) template class.

The ORanges class is an optimization of the ranges class for ordinal types, i.e. types with the property that values can be counted (enumerable, e.g. integers and enumerations).

The optimization merges adjacent ranges. Two ranges [a,b] and [c,d] are adjacent when b+1=c. It is safe to merge adjacent ranges over values of an ordinal type, because [a,b](+)[b+1,c]=[a,c] with (+) representing range merging (set union).

By storing open-ended ranges [lo,hi+1) in the ranges class container, adjacent ranges are merged automatically by the fact that the bounds of open-ended adjacent ranges overlap.

In addition to the methods inherited from the Range base class, open-ended ranges can be updated by deleting ranges from the set with:

Open-ended ranges are more efficient than std::set when the values stored are adjacent (e.g. integers 2 and 3 are adjacent), since std::set stores values individually whereas open-ended ranges merges adjacent values into ranges. This lowers storage overhead and reduces insertion, deletion, and search time.

We can iterate over open-ended ranges. The iterator dereferences values are [lo,hi+1) pairs, i.e. lo = i->first and hi = i->second - 1.

Additional ORanges methods not defined by Ranges:

IMPORTANT:

The largest value that can be stored in an open-ended range of value type T is the maximum T-representable value minus 1. For example, the character range reflex::ORanges<char> holds values -128 to 126 and excludes 127.

Example:

ints = 0; // insert 0
ints.insert(100, 200); // insert 100..200
ints.insert(300, 400); // insert 300..400
ints.insert(200, 300); // insert 200..300
std::cout << "Set of " << ints.size() << " open-ended ranges:" << std::endl;
for (reflex::ORanges<int>::const_iterator i = ints.begin(); i != ints.end(); ++i)
std::cout << "[" << i->first << "," << i->second << ")" << std::endl;
if (ints.find(200) != ints.end())
std::cout << "200 is in the set" << std::endl;
if (ints.find(99) == ints.end())
std::cout << "99 is not in the set" << std::endl;
if (ints.find(401) == ints.end())
std::cout << "401 is not in the set" << std::endl;
ints.erase(250, 350);
for (reflex::ORanges<int>::const_iterator i = ints.begin(); i != ints.end(); ++i)
std::cout << "[" << i->first << "," << i->second << ")" << std::endl;

Output:

Set of 2 open-ended ranges: [0,1) [100,401) 200 is in the set 99 is not in the set 401 is not in the set [0,1) [100,250) [351,401)
