Detailed Description

General superclass for an algorithm.

This is a fairly abstract class, mainly used for implementing the backend "provider" interface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm ( const Algorithm from)

Standard copy constructor.

Parameters
fromthe Algorithm to copy from
QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm ( )
protected

Constructor for empty algorithm.

QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm ( const QString &  type,
const QString &  provider 
)
protected

Constructor of a particular algorithm.

Parameters
typethe algorithm to construct
providerthe name of a particular Provider

Member Function Documentation

Algorithm& QCA::Algorithm::operator= ( const Algorithm from)

Assignment operator.

Parameters
fromthe Algorithm to copy state from
QString QCA::Algorithm::type ( ) const

The name of the algorithm type.

Provider* QCA::Algorithm::provider ( ) const

The name of the provider.

Each algorithm is implemented by a provider. This allows you to figure out which provider is associated

Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::context ( )

The context associated with this algorithm

const Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::context ( ) const

The context associated with this algorithm

void QCA::Algorithm::change ( Provider::Context c)

Set the Provider for this algorithm

Parameters
cthe context for the Provider to use
void QCA::Algorithm::change ( const QString &  type,
const QString &  provider 
)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters
typethe name of the algorithm to use
providerthe name of the preferred provider
Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::takeContext ( )

Take the Provider from this algorithm
