Concrete variables map which store variables in real map.
This class is derived from std::map<std::string, variable_value>, so you can use all map operators to examine its content.
variables_map
public
construct/copy/destructvariables_map();
variables_map(const abstract_variables_map * next);
variables_map
public member functionsconst variable_value & operator[](const std::string & name) const;
Obtains the value of variable 'name', from *this and possibly from the chain of variable maps.
if there's no value in *this.
if there's next variable map, returns value from it
otherwise, returns empty value
if there's defaulted value
if there's next varaible map, which has a non-defauled value, return that
otherwise, return value from *this
if there's a non-defauled value, returns it.
variables_map
private member functionsconst variable_value & get(const std::string & name) const;
Implementation of abstract_variables_map::get which does 'find' in *this.
