Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DataType() [1/3]

KIM::DataType::DataType ( )

Create an uninitialized DataType object.

Since
2.0

◆ DataType() [2/3]

KIM::DataType::DataType ( int const  id)

Create a DataType object with the specified id.

Note
This should not be used directly.
Since
2.0

◆ DataType() [3/3]

KIM::DataType::DataType ( std::string const &  str)

Create a DataType object corresponding to the provided string. If the string does not match one of the values defined by the KIM API, then an "unknown" object is generated.

KIM_DataType_FromString, kim_data_type_module::kim_from_string
Since
2.0

Member Function Documentation

◆ Known()

bool KIM::DataType::Known ( ) const

Determines if the object is a quantity known to the KIM API.

DataType's known to the KIM API are found in the DATA_TYPE namespace.

See also
KIM_DataType_Known, kim_data_type_module::kim_known
Since
2.0

◆ operator!=()

bool KIM::DataType::operator!= ( DataType const &  rhs) const

Compares DataType objects for inequality.

Note
It is possible for two "unknown" objects to be not equal.
See also
KIM_DataType_NotEqual, kim_data_type_module::operator(.ne.)
Since
2.0

◆ operator==()

bool KIM::DataType::operator== ( DataType const &  rhs) const

Compares DataType objects for equality.

Note
Not all "unknown" objects are equal.
See also
KIM_DataType_Equal, kim_data_type_module::operator(.eq.)
Since
2.0

◆ ToString()

std::string const& KIM::DataType::ToString ( ) const

Converts the object to a string.

Returns
A string object representing the DataType object.
Note
If the DataType object does not correspond to a value defined by the KIM API, then the string "unknown" is returned.

KIM_DataType_ToString, kim_data_type_module::kim_to_string()
Since
2.0

Member Data Documentation

◆ dataTypeID

int KIM::DataType::dataTypeID

Integer identifying the specific DataType represented.

Note
This should not be directly accessed and is only public for cross-language reasons.
