Subquery methods

The subsearch() methods are for use by aggregating scopes. When an aggregator passes a query to its child scopes, it should use subsearch() instead of the normal Scope::search() that would be called by a client. subsearch() takes care of automatically forwarding query cancellation to child scopes. This means that there is no need for an aggregating scope to explicitly forward cancellation to child scopes when its QueryBase::cancelled() method is called by the scopes runtime.

Detailed Description

Abstract base class to represent a particular query.

A scope must return an instance of this class from its implementation of ScopeBase::search().

Note
The constructor of the instance must complete in a timely manner. Do not perform anything in the constructor that might block.

Member Function Documentation

CannedQuery unity::scopes::SearchQueryBase::query ( ) const

Get a canned query for this search request.

Returns
The canned query.
Exceptions
unity::LogicExceptionif the canned query was not initialized (was default-constructed).
virtual void unity::scopes::SearchQueryBase::run ( SearchReplyProxy const &  reply)
pure virtual

Called by scopes runtime to start the query.

Your implementation of run() can use the reply proxy to push results for the query. You can push results from within run(), in which case the query implicitly completes when run() returns. Alternatively, run() can store the reply proxy and return immediately. In this case, you can use the stored proxy to push results from another thread. It is safe to call push() from multiple threads without synchronization.

The query completes either when run() returns, or when the last stored reply proxy goes out of scope (whichever happens last).

Parameters
replyThe proxy on which to push results for the query.

Implemented in unity::scopes::qt::QSearchQueryBaseAPI.

SearchMetadata unity::scopes::SearchQueryBase::search_metadata ( ) const

Get metadata for this search request.

Returns
The search metadata.
Exceptions
unity::LogicExceptionif search metadata was not initialized (was default-constructed).
