Detailed Description
template<typename T>
class filval::DerivedValue< T >
A generic, derived, value.
A DerivedValue is generally defined as some function of other Value objects. For example, a Pair is a function of two other Value objects that makes a pair of them. Note that these other Value objects are free to be either ObservedValues or other DerivedValues.
It is desireable from a performance standpoint that each DerivedValue be calculated no more than once per observation. Therefore, when a get_value is called on a DerivedValue, it first checks whether the value that it holds is valid, meaning it has already been calculated for this observation. If so, it simply returns the value. If not, the update_value function is called to calculate the value. and then the newly calculated value is marked as valid and returned.
Member Function Documentation
§ _reset()
|
inlineprivatevirtual |
Mark the internal value as invalid.
This is needed for DerivedValue to force a recalculation of the internal value when a new observation is loaded into memory. It is called automatically for all GenValue objects when reset is called.
Implements filval::GenValue.
§ update_value()
|
protectedpure virtual |
Updates the internal value.
This function should be overridden by any child class to do the actual work of updating value based on whatever rules the class chooses. Normally, this consists of geting the values from some associated Value objects, doing some calculation on them, and storing the result in value.
Implemented in filval::ConstantValue< T >, filval::BoundValue< T >, filval::MultiFunc< R, T >, filval::ReduceIndex< T >, filval::Reduce< T >, filval::ZipMapFour< R, T >, filval::Pair< T1, T2 >, filval::WrapperVector< T >, filval::root::LorentzVectorEnergy, filval::Filter, filval::root::LorentzVector, and filval::root::MassFilter.
