GlobalVariable :: GlobalVariable - Create global variable

Implementation overview

• Create global variable by name
  GlobalVariable :: GlobalVariable ( sGlobalVariable )
• Create global variable from value
  GlobalVariable :: GlobalVariable ( cValue )

Implementation details

1. Create global variable by name
   GlobalVariable  :: GlobalVariable ( odaba::String &sGlobalVariable )
   

   The constructor creates a global variable by name. When the global variable has not yet been created, the global variable remains invalid. create() might be called in order to create the global variable for the thread.

     GlobalVariable    userName("userName");

     if ( !userName.isValid() )

       userName.create(Value(""));

     userName.value() = "Paul";

   • sGlobalVariable - Name for global variable

     The global variable name refers to a thread global variable. Global variable names must be unique within a thread or process.

     In order to pass no variable name, an empty string ( String() ) may be passed.

2. Create global variable from value
   GlobalVariable  :: GlobalVariable ( odaba::Value &cValue )
   

   The function creates a global variable for the value passed in cValue. The name for the global variable is extracted from the property definition (PropertyDefinition::name()). When a global variable with this name already exists or when the value handle is not valid, the function throws an exception.

   • cValue - Value handle

     A value handle refers to a (usually) opened value. Invalid value handles may cause an exception.
