Task #1202
closedshortcuts between FIB, PIT, Measurements, StrategyChoice
Description
Add shortcuts between conceptual tables backed by NameTree.
API¶
Fib::findLongestPrefixMatch(const pit::Entry&)
Fib::findLongestPrefixMatch(const measurements::Entry&)
StrategyChoice::findEffectiveStrategy(const pit::Entry&)
Measurements::get(const pit:*Entry&)
Design¶
xx::Entry needs to declare in "private:" section:
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> m_nameTreeEntry; friend class NameTree; friend class name_tree::Entry;
name_tree::Entry
methods should set m_nameTreeEntry member when xx::Entry is attached, and unset when xx::Entry is detached (don’t forget to unset on the old attached xx::Entry when attaching a new FIB/Measurements/StrategyChoice entry)NameTree::get(const xx::Entry&) const
returns m_nameTreeEntry. This is called byFib::findLongestPrefixMatch(const pit::Entry&)
and other methods, so Fib/etc needn’t be made friends of pit::Entry.Implement Fib::findLongestPrefixMatch overload, etc, by going through the NameTree entries.

FIB/PIT/Measurements entry should contain shared_ptr<NameTree>
.
I suggest an API like:
namespace name_tree {
class Entry;
}
namespace fib {
class Entry {
private:
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> m_nameTreeNode;
friend class NameTree;
};
}
namespace pit {
class Entry {
private:
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> m_nameTreeNode;
friend class NameTree;
};
}
namespace measurements {
class Entry {
private:
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> m_nameTreeNode;
friend class NameTree;
};
}
class NameTree
{
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const fib::Entry& fibEntry);
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const pit::Entry& pitEntry);
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const measurements::Entry& measurementsEntry);
};

I think the following three functions could be implemented at each fib/pit/measurements-entry.hpp, and probably should not in NameTree class.
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const fib::Entry& fibEntry);
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const pit::Entry& pitEntry);
shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const measurements::Entry& measurementsEntry);

My idea is, forwarding/strategy should not know about name_tree::Entry
. Therefore, it's a private field, and class NameTree
is a friend.

Yes, name_tree/NameTree is "internal optimization" that should not be really exposed in the interface, unless there is a very good reason to do so.

Yes, the NameTree should not be exposed in the interface to /fw or /strategy.
What I was trying to say is, if the shared_ptr<name_tree::Entry> get(const fib::Entry& fibEntry);
is used only internally in fib/pit/measurements.cpp, then it is probably easier to just return fib->m_nameTreeEntry
or fib->getNameTreeEntry()
, since you already have the fibEntry pointer. (alternatively, you could call m_nameTree->get(fibEntry)
, which then returns fibEntry->m_nameTreeEntry
). It shouldn't matter much in this case...
The nice part of having these three functions in NameTree is that the interface get()
is simple and unified.

pit::Entry::m_nameTreeEntry
is not only used by Pit.
Measurements::get(pit::Entry)
would like to get the name_tree::Entry
from PIT entry, and follow the pointer to find Measurements entry.
However, it's strange to make class Measurements
a friend of pit::Entry
, therefore this should go through NameTree::get
.
