Detailed Description

Ordered collection of uniquely-named attribute arrays.

An immutable object that stores name, type and AttributeSet position for a constant collection of attribute arrays.

Note
The attribute name is actually mutable, but the attribute type and position can not be changed after creation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AttributeSet ( const AttributeSet attributeSet,
Index  arrayLength,
const AttributeArray::ScopedRegistryLock lock = nullptr 
)

Construct a new AttributeSet from the given AttributeSet.

Parameters
attributeSetthe old attribute set
arrayLengththe desired length of the arrays in the new AttributeSet
lockan optional scoped registry lock to avoid contention
Note
This constructor is typically used to resize an existing AttributeSet as it transfers attribute metadata such as hidden and transient flags
AttributeSet ( const DescriptorPtr descriptor,
Index  arrayLength = 1,
const AttributeArray::ScopedRegistryLock lock = nullptr 
)

Construct a new AttributeSet from the given Descriptor.

Parameters
descriptorstored in the new AttributeSet and used in construction
arrayLengththe desired length of the arrays in the new AttributeSet
lockan optional scoped registry lock to avoid contention
Note
Descriptors do not store attribute metadata such as hidden and transient flags which live on the AttributeArrays, so for constructing from an existing AttributeSet use the AttributeSet(const AttributeSet&, Index) constructor instead
AttributeSet ( const AttributeSet )

Shallow copy constructor, the descriptor and attribute arrays will be shared.

AttributeArray::Ptr removeAttribute ( const Name name)

Remove and return an attribute array by name.

Parameters
namethe name of the attribute array to release

Detaches the attribute array from this attribute set and returns it, if name is invalid, returns an empty shared pointer. This also updates the descriptor to remove the reference to the attribute array.

Note
AttributeArrays are stored as shared pointers, so they are not guaranteed to be unique. Check the reference count before blindly re-using in a new AttributeSet.
AttributeArray::Ptr removeAttribute ( const size_t  pos)

Remove and return an attribute array by index.

Parameters
posthe position index of the attribute to release

Detaches the attribute array from this attribute set and returns it, if pos is invalid, returns an empty shared pointer. This also updates the descriptor to remove the reference to the attribute array.

Note
AttributeArrays are stored as shared pointers, so they are not guaranteed to be unique. Check the reference count before blindly re-using in a new AttributeSet.
AttributeArray::Ptr removeAttributeUnsafe ( const size_t  pos)

Remove and return an attribute array by index (unsafe method)

Parameters
posthe position index of the attribute to release

Detaches the attribute array from this attribute set and returns it, if pos is invalid, returns an empty shared pointer. In cases where the AttributeSet is due to be destroyed, a small performance advantage can be gained by leaving the attribute array as a nullptr and not updating the descriptor. However, this leaves the AttributeSet in an invalid state making it unsafe to call any methods that implicitly derefence the attribute array.

Note
AttributeArrays are stored as shared pointers, so they are not guaranteed to be unique. Check the reference count before blindly re-using in a new AttributeSet.
Warning
Only use this method if you're an expert and know the risks of not updating the array of attributes or the descriptor.
