BloombergLP::ball::Context

Declared in <ball_context.h>

This class provides a container for aggregating the auxiliary information needed to transmit a log record. For each context attribute in this class (e.g., recordIndex), there is an accessor for obtaining the attribute's value (recordIndex) and there are manipulators for changing the contained attribute values (setAttributes checks attribute constraints; setAttributesRaw and setRecordIndexRaw do not). A static isValid method is also provided to verify that particular attribute values are consistent before they are used to create or modify a context object. Note that it is the client's responsibility not to construct or unilaterally modify a context object to hold incompatible attribute values.

Additionally, this class supports a complete set of value semantic operations, including copy construction, assignment and equality comparison, and ostream printing. A precise operational definition of when two instances have the same value can be found in the description of operator== for the class. This class is exception neutral with no guarantee of rollback: if an exception is thrown during the invocation of a method on a pre‐existing instance, the object is left in a valid state, but its value is undefined. In no event is memory leaked. Finally, aliasing (e.g., using all or part of an object as both source and destination) is supported in all cases.
