Detailed Description

template<class T, class Enable = void>
class sofa::helper::ReadAccessor< T, Enable >

A ReadAccessor is a proxy class, holding a reference to a given container and providing access to its data, using an unified interface (similar to std::vector), hiding API differences within containers.

Other advantadges of using a ReadAccessor are :

  • It can be faster that the default methods and operators of the container, as verifications and changes notifications can be handled in the accessor's constructor and destructor instead of at each item access.
  • No modifications to the container will be done by mistake
  • Accesses can be logged for debugging or task dependencies analysis.

The default implementation provides only minimal set of methods and operators, sufficient for scalar types but which should be overloaded for more complex types. Various template specializations are typically used, especially for core::objectmodel::Data<T>
